And neither one of us had to pay the other any support since we both made roughly the same and both raised them equally.
I'm just glad my dad fought like hell to get custody and wasn't just a sperm donor. It's disheartening to think about the trauma divorce inflicted on me as a kid to only see it be reduced to dollars and cents for the adults. Take care of your kids dudes. [Reply]
He said he makes over 6 figures. ($999,999.00). Pays $1100 for support.
Maybe it is $9999.99 (never seen 6 figures "figured" that way) which would make the $1100 more realistic. [Reply]
