Great, but give him the option.

Don't you think he'd be more glad if he were ordered to pay $1k and voluntary put $14k in a trust fund for the kid?

I am a good parent. My point is that if he WANTS to spend $15K/month on his child, he can do that. He should not be FORCED to do this. I'm sure he isn't thinking "I am so glad I have to spend this money every month!"

There is no conceivable way that you can spend $15K/month on a two year old child unless you are buying them a mansion for their bedroom and gold plated shoes. The point is that the wife is getting paid a lot of money under the guise of "child support."

Does it say anything aobut alimony?

Since when is it the COURTS repsonsibility to maintain someones lifestyle?

If I losy my job, who is going to pay me so I can maintain my lifestyle?

you're not a child who is about to lose a family.

Certainly, children whose mothers only receive $14k in child support must be even more heart-broken :brokenheart:

Lose a family? The child doesn't lose the family. He still has a dad and mom. He loses some structure, sure, but no one is going away. Please try again.

Hmmm...I wonder if I could sue a credit card company for alimony. My $100k+ credit line has accustomed me to a lifestyle that I won't be able to continue without even more money...

 

[pinion9]

It is a persons responsibility to provide an adequate lifestyle for themselves and their children. It should not be the governments responsibility to ensure that children maintain a certain lifestyle above and beyond being educated, fed, and given a safe shelter. These 3 things can be done for less than $15K/month.

Is there some reason why his kids are supposed to live a lesser lifestyle than he is ? How the hell do you know what his lifestyle costs per month ?

How much would Bill Gates have to pay in the same position as Joey? Gates worth about 53 Billion. Would a million a month cover the cost of one kid?

LOS ANGELES - After a little more than three years of marriage,
Matt LeBlanc's divorce has been finalized.

The 39-year-old former "Friends" star has been granted joint custody of his 2-year-old daughter with wife Melissa LeBlanc, according to court papers filed Wednesday. Melissa LeBlanc has two children from a previous marriage.

The LeBlancs filed for divorce on April 6, citing irreconcilable differences. They will be officially single again on Oct. 6.

Under the terms of the divorce, LeBlanc will be financially responsible for his daughter's education, nanny and other needs. He will also pay $15,000 a month in child support.

Calls to LeBlanc's attorney and his publicist after business hours Thursday were not immediately returned.

The pair married in a celebrity-studded wedding in Hawaii in 2003 with several of LeBlanc's "Friends" co-stars in attendance.

LeBlanc played struggling actor Joey Tribbiani in the long-running sit-com that ended in 2004. He reprised the character for the NBC spinoff "Joey," which was canceled in May after two seasons.

Now I have no doubt that the man can afford this...but doesn't that seem a bit...excessive? I can't imagine any child would cost $15,000 per month....He shouldn't have to pay for the other children that weren't his no?

Is it just me or is this "child support" more like "wife support" so his former wife can keep living the life she was when they were married?

it's income based. you make more you pay more.

i didn't know their marriage went down the tubes. i believe she was a bit older than him which surprised me at the time.

I read none, unfortunately. None available out here...

Anyway, he is forced to, or will be. To the extent that I understand the law, one is not allowed to miss child support payments.

That is because he AGREED to make the payments. It's like any other AGREEMENT that settles a lawsuit, it has the force of law.

But that doesn't mean he was "forced" to make the AGREEMENT.

You say you are a good parent. Tell me why you think a rich man should live a better life style than his kids ?

 

[Corporate Thug]

well, the way you get a $ value for child support is by using a program called dissolution master where the value of all the assets from each party is entered and the program spits out a number so its comparable when both parties "value" is considered.

Correct. He didnt agree to anything. Its mandatory. In fact, a custodial parent cannot waive payments.

I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing. for example, if i'm driving a mercedes, that doesnt mean that my kids are gonna get a mercedes from me.

Also, he does have joint custody, so i'm not sure if the lifestlye will suffer drastically.

You have proof that he didn't agree to the settlement ? Or do you even know what a lawsuit is ?

 

[dquan97]

There's an easy reason for this: child support is not counted as income to the recipient, unlike alimony, which is taxed. Both parties come up with a deal...for him: joint custody and dirt-free divorce, for her: tax-free income

Tom, just a quick example that i thought of. I dont have kids, and i dont want any in the near future. Obviously, lifestyle is much more encompassing than that.
