It's not usually on this scale, but this is what the typical father goes through. The child support system in this country is out of control, and run by man hating women.
Here in Minnesota they have the gall to call it the Family Justice System, when the correct term is actually Money-For-Women-And-Fvck-The-Father System.

Im sorry you do not understand the diffrence between child support and getting paid for a job.
The guy gets paid to put out records/clothes and other crappy stuff. If people didnt want he would not get all that cash.
Child support is there to pay for the support of the child. NOT to support the mother wich is what is happening here.
IF it really took $250k to take care of a child then that is what you should pay. But it does not take even a fraction of that.
the judicial system is out of control. Fathers rights have been erroded over years.
the judge that approved of this amount must be on crack. How do you get through law school w/ no common sense?

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.

again your jealousy is showing skoorb.
The guy has a talent (i have to agree the music and clothes suck) and worked hard to get where he is. Its not like he won the lottery and is now living good. The guy had to work hard to get where he is.
The women got knocked up and took advantage of a broken legal system. Child support is supposed to take care of the child. it does not take $20+k to take care of a child. The mother has to contribute also.

The "fix" is to determine the amount it requires to raise a child with the minimum amount of sustenance, safety, and shelter and make a set amount based on that.
Otherwise getting pregnant by wealthy men will become a gambling sport with an assured payoff.

yes the system is broken. But forcing someone to pay $21k for child support is not going to fix it either in fact its part of the problem.
The idea of child support to help take care of the child. Again a person does not need $21k to take care of a child. heck $5k is MORE then enough.
Part of the problem is the Family court system is that men are not treated equal.

Thus, ensuring that rich people with ambiguous morals can father all the children they want and not worry about the consequences. The system is still broke, just in a different way. We require tests and degrees to do dangerous, important, etc work, but any asshat off the street can become a parent. At the fundamental level, the system is broke, the fixes you are suggesting just make it a broken system in a different way. So, why change it with your fixes, what makes that any better than the completely screwed up system we have now? Why waste tax money changing the system unless it helps solve the fundamental problem which is that there are people out there who have no idea what is entailed in having sex and becoming a parent?

I'll make it simple then: both people did comparitively little for the vast sums of money they've come upon. In essence they both lucked out. One did it nefariously, but if that 21k was being extorted out of somebody else I would have more sympathy for them. Sure, puffy "earned" the money, but he didn't break his back for it or invent something spectacular. He lucked into it in a very short period of time. 21k to him is nothing. It's peanuts. Easy come, easy go. I'm far more distraught over crawford's brother (recent thread) who now has to find a way to replace his car.
But don't you see Skoorb? They're both results of the same system. Puffy can afford to pay his child support, unfortunately others of us aren't so lucky. By validating her greediness just because Puffy can afford it you screw the rest of us.
Did you know that it's very uncommon for child support amounts to go down? Even when one loses their job? If Puffy somehow went bankrupt tomorrow, he'd still have to pay that child support. Is that still fair?
