Quote From: kjhamiltonHi,
65K is not much money for a big family and I think if a person can't support their first family is it really fair to ask their children from that first family (who did not have any choice in the matter) to "do without" just because you all decided to form a 2nd union with each other and add another child to the mix. If you have more kids than you can afford. you have to find a away to afford them. I just don't understand why this is unfair or injustice. Your husband just as you did with your first marriage,made a commitment to take care of his first children and you did yours as well. It's children who pay for this kind of decision making.
So is the child from the first marriage of more intrinsic worth than the other children? (Two of whom are older than that child, if, by your twisted logic, being born first is what somehow makes one count more.)
Besides, his ex-wife isn't even living off the child support AT ALL. THAT child will never do without. She puts it all in the bank. (If you had bothered to read my first posting you would have known that.) That's my point--child support should be the amount that is reasonable and necessary to support the child. Not to drain the father and his family of all that they have.
