There are a lot of posters that are quick to say how lucky your ex is to be paying so little for 3 kids. No one on here has any idea of what his income is, if he only brings home $1600 or less every month after paying child support that does not leave him much to pay his bills. $775 doesn't seem like a lot unless you are the one paying it and its almost half of your income and you are still required to provide food, shelter, clothes , etc. for the kids on your time. If you were paying most of the bills when the two of you were together, why would you expect it to be any different now that you are divorced? Maybe rent and utilities and a cell bill are his only bills, that will eventually change. He might have to replace a vehicle or want to purchase a home. My point is no one on here knows his situation enough to say he should be on his knees happy with the decision.

Only paying $775 for THREE kids is very low. And he probably doesn't make that much money, which is why it is so low.
