Good.
No sympathy whatever for dudes that don't pay child support, and/or let their kids live in far worse financial surroundings than they do.

If his name was Supernintendo Chalmers, he wouldn't be having these kinds of problems I suspect..... *shrugs*

Chalmers is going to be flat ass broke before long and it isn't going to have anything to do with having to pay $10,000 in child support. That monthly spending is ridiculous.

So a single mom busting her ass to take care of her little girl, while the child's father spends 5 times her monthly salary on vacations, and has a personal assistant who makes ten times what his child's mother did.
Usually I'd wince and wonder at least in passing about gold digging, but far as I'm concerned there's a little girl getting the short end of the stick from her dad while her mom does all she can to take care of her.

You need 120,000 a year to raise a kid?

You need 120,000 a year to raise a kid? Way more than that. Raising a kid isn't cheap, you know....with food, clothing, diapers, bottles, beds, cleaning stuff, high chairs, toys, child proof stuff, medicine if your kid isn't healthy, do I really need to expand on this.

Yea you do, if you can't raise a child with a dedicated 2.6k going toward her a month, you shouldn't have custody. 10k a month is ridiculous. It would be cheaper for him to have custody and hire a full time nanny

How the f*** did my parents raise two kids on one salary (with all the expenses that go along with dad's business) from the time I was born until I was 9 or 10?
Because I know there wasn't a $120,000 coming in here every year.

Also, the stuff that plenty of us had when we were kids are more expensive these days.

What this judge should have done is ordered Chalmers to pay half of his child's actual expenses (medical, food, clothes, etc.). Putting $10,000 cash in her pocket every month is a very inefficient way to ensure this child is adequately supported. Not saying that she would blow it on herself, just that the opportunity is clearly there. When you're talking about that large a salary for him, it becomes irrelevant because there's no reason this kid should go without anything in her life

Honestly I see both sides here.
He should be paying a decent amount to his kid...but the thing is it's for his kid. Not his ex. The tax free 2.4K she was getting before the change in payment plus the 1K she was making that would be be tax free due to the small amount...3.4K a month take home? That's apx 40K net a year. So you figure about a 50K a year job. I don't call that struggling. It's not breaking the bank but it ain't poverty.
Now I can absolutely see an increase. But now 120K take home a year. Like I said it's for his kid, not to support his ex. If she needs that kind of money to raise her kid?? A year?? Idk I've raised 2 and they would have been crapping in gold diapers for that money.
If the dumbass had just gone to the judge and said "hey I got a raise I'm giving 5 or 6K a month now in support" Judge would have signed off happily and would have laughed her out of court when she came back for more.
*edit - Ok changed my stance a bit. Even with that increase he's still making out. Went from 3.7 percent of his salary for CP to 2.5 percent. He's lucky it wasn't worse.

You need 120,000 a year to raise a kid? This kid will be able to get the opportunities that having a successful parent should allow you to get. Are you going to really be critical of the woman if the little girl's father is a millionaire and opts to not take care of the child on his own choice. He previously was only paying $24K a year, which actually isn't enough to adequately provide for all of a child's needs.

Ok I am sick and tired of people cashing in on each other. Love is not a game you play to exploit people. What does she need 10K for? She doesn't. This is BS. She should have the lifestyle she has earned, nothing more.
As for their child. I am sure Queen (what an unbelievably stupid name for a child) isn't going without anything. I bet private school have already been paid for her entire life going forward. She would also spend time with her dad, who I doubt is going to let her walk around in rags.
