Child Support

After over two years of filing for divorce, waiting an attorney fees we have come to an agreement between the two of us that I guess we can live with. Except for the issue of support. I have a horrible lawyer and would never go there again. My problem is I have decided to settle on joint custody with child support set per tables. My ex's lawyer says 76.00 per month my lawyer says $369.00 per month. But my lawyer says I should just stick with what was set at the temporary hearing which is 200.00 now. I guess if I felt that my ex was paying his half of things for the kids I would probably be okay with that but he hasn't as of now, so I'm not sure what will change that. I asked for 1,000.00 per year for clothing expense and he refused saying he would provide clothing at his home, I provide at mine and there will be no packing. I have not lived with him in 2 years and he has not so much as bought them a sweat shirt let alone "clothes." Anyway. I don't feel I should settle, I cant believe there is that much of a difference. His lawyer is taking out overtime and bonus which has been there for the past 14 years although it is not weekly it is seasonal overtime, it is still overtime he has every year. Is it worth it for me to go to court or am I being greedy? If I don't get it now, I guarantee you I won't get it at all. Any ideas here?
