[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 54438, member: 709"] Why are you taking care of the child??? It appears your step daughter is just as much to blame as the father. We had a guy at work that after he paid his child support and the child's insurance his take home pay was around $100.00 per week, how is anyone supposed to live on that while his ex lived in their house with her new boyfriend. A friend I had from High school that married a gal with 2 children and they received child support from her ex. He was an engineer and she was an administrator at a nursing home so money was not an issue. One day when we were fishing at Tobin the subject came up and I asked if they were putting the money aside for the kid's education and he told me that the child support they received was enough to make their two vehicle payments. He also said that they were owed that money because he was not responsible to raise someone else children, which my response was yes you are she had the children when you married her so you accepted the responsibility. I thought I might have to walk back to ND because although we were in my boat we used his pickup to get there. Until both parents incomes ( and that includes their new spouse ) are used to determine the payment one parent will usually receive the short end of the straw [/QUOTE]
