Reply #136: Maybe because I don't see living with $72k a year of child support as struggling. [View All]

As if forcing her to live with a penny less than $360k a year in child support is depriving the child. :eyes:

Your example of child support raising a mother from poverty to middle class is not comparable. A middle class mother still has to work. She does not get the benefit of never having to work again because she raised the standard of living for her child.

Why doesn't this woman just ask him to put whatever the child is entitled to into a trust fund if best interest of the child is all she's concerned with? The child would turn 18 with millions in the bank and never have to work again. Why should custody have to turn into a winning lottery ticket for her?

Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.
