While I think it is rediculous to pay 21k a month in child support, part of what is missing in this thread is the fact that the child is growing up in a broken/dysfunctional home. Maybe by forcing men to pay the outrageous child support, they will think twice about getting a girl pregnant and walking. While I don't think that is the driving force behind the demand of this woman from P.Diddy, it was obviously greed, restricting child support to the bare minimum is not the answer either. It doesn't rectify the problem that someone (man or woman, I don't care which) has walked away from their responsibility of raising a child. The judicial system is broke, but the fix is not to reduce the amount of child support across the board. That just makes it broken a different way.
