That "extra" amount is what the child support is for, and the father should only pay "his share" of that amount, not the full thing.

I live in the real world. She and the children live in the same place, eat the same food etc. If I pay the kids share on a mansion and she can afford a trailer park, they are going to live somewhere in between.
I can be more blase on this subject since I am paying the max and it is not a huge deal to me.
Obviously if my life looked more like this I would fucking screamin
Gross 100k
after tax 65k
Child support 30%
or 19.5k or 1,530/month.
Making a 100k a year and living on 3.8k/month net would not make me happy.
