I know divorces are hard on everyone. When I got divorce from my first ex, and that is in NY. By NY law that I have to pay 1/4 of my income (for two child) and that is nearly $1700 per month plus I have to pay medical expenses, that racked up to nearly $2000 per month. Now, I don't give a shit about how much I have to pay to my ex. All I care is to be sure that those children can live comfortably, have nice clothes, and have them what they need. The outcome for this kids mentally are more positive.
You know my ex do not make enough money and If I fight against how much I have to pay... let say I rather pay $250 per child per month, it will put hardship on ex and that ex emotionally effect the children. Children can pick up parents emotions easily. You know, ex will scream at the children that she doesn't have enough money to buy new shoes for the children. So, it will impact the children in lot of way.
So, when my child support ended, she's sucker...she's into lot of debt.
So, in my opinion, what's more important is to have my precious children live comfortable than my bitchy ex.
