I could not, in my entire life, think of any month where I could even BEGIN to spend the amount of money on my children that my ex receives in support. And this is very common. It is even worse when you have the kids 50-50 and are ordered to pay full support. Nice, eh.
Child support is lifestyle support. Well, her lifestyle. Not yours (and actually not the children's since CS is not accountable).
Unfortunately you must petition the court and file a motion to get your support re-evaluated. But you most likely will lose. Judges do not go below the table amount. But you acn try.
That is something that is always missed in all the newspaper horror stories of the man not disclosing income increases so the ex could get more support. People have no idea how hard it is (next to impossible) and how costly it is to get support reduced or lowered or stopped during employment variations or trying to maintain basic life. Yup, that seems to be always missed in these discussions. A common question asked: "You mean, when your income goes down... you support does not go down?" Only through a court motion... Nice, eh.
