Since we had DD we stopped paying for things that were outside of the court order. We will buy clothes and school supplies, but things such as cars, car insurance, cell phones for the oldest two. SD is old enough to get a job to pay for her cell phone and her car insurance and gas. SS18 is making 13 an hour and is working 40 hours a week plus he lives with us rent free.

When the support was ordered DH was only making 30k and that was almost 9 years ago.

Now he makes 42k and she makes 26 an hour as a part time RN. (She works two days a week, sometimes three but "can't handle" working full time.)

I don't know if the child support is going to go up or not, it might since she is wokring part time I just think its bullshit. She needs to support her kids too it shouldn't all be on DH.

Yup and I make about 60k. So everyone's needs and most wants are met.

In some areas that's plenty. I know in mine you are considered upper middle class

So? I guess it depends on where you live, but we raised all 3 of our kids on less than that, and they may not have gotten every single thing they ever wanted, but they had everything they needed, and a great deal of what they wanted. They certainly didn't suffer.

That's not even at the poverty line in California. Even with her income it would only be lower middle class.

Every place isn't as expensive as California or where I live NY.

If she “can’t handle” working full time to meet their needs/wants , then she can’t handle the current custody arrangement and you guys need full. Needs are met, so what is it she really wants?
