Well, they are to benefit the kids but there are NO LIMITS. Here's an example:
I pay 1800.00 a month child support for one child in NJ. I pay 80% of medical, 100% of college.
First, my kid is 10. He could get his own place for 1800.00. 80% medical? I thought he was HALF mine. College, I have no problem with. I pre-paid for a University in Florida. What kid wouldn't rather go to school in Florida?
Did I mention she got remarried? Her new husband is a great guy, who provides a house and everything. So, she decided to stop working. Of course, she does have a new BMW (2004) and drops 200 a month at the beauty salon. Her only income is my child support. Then again, with the house and groceries provided the 1800.00 is spending money.
Yes, she buys things for my son. Seriously though, how many healthy 10 year olds cost 1800.00 a month?
Don't forget too, I have to pay her the child support with AFTER tax dollars. In my bracket I need to make 2700. or so to give her 1800. And I get no deductions on it.
I have a friend who got divorced in Georgia and he pays 575 a month for 2 kids, and makes damn near what I do!
I like my women like I like my coffee. Sweet, hot and from Colombia!
