Yes, My divorce was in Mississippi. State law says I pay 20% of my Gross adjusted income(2 kids). I bring home $2,993.00 after taxes each month as an Asst. Principal. $633.00 of that is deducted for child support. I also pay their medical, dental, and cancer coverage which costs $215.00 per month. I don't mind paying, but at $848.00 per month, I rent just a $450 apartment and pretty well much stay in debt. My ex-wife on the other hand maes $75,000 per year and pretty well much has no debt. Can I request that child suport be reduced since she does so well. Just a couple of hundred dollars would help.

Have you ever thought about a second job?

I don't worry about the people in my past. There is a reason they are not in my future.

OK Guys looked to get a little help........didn't realize I had entered the "Men Club Haters Annonymous" My ex make right at $80,000 per yr and you chics are evidentally just are out to see how much money you can rake guys over the coals. Look my wife cheated several times and left me with very nice surprises if you kno what I mean an I shell out over 800 per month. Thanks for the wise cracks. Get a 2nd job huh? I'm an administrator. School systems and LEA's do not put up with that. You know ladies, you guys are not always the victim. Sorry for landing in your "FOM" Club. (fellowship of the miserable)

Everyone here is concentrating on what you have each month after you pay your rent and child support costs. What I noticed is that your ex is making 75k a year and you're making approximately 45k. What I'm trying to figure out is why you're paying child support when she's making 30k more than you a year? This just doesn't make sense to me, but everyone else wants to focus on the fact that you want a few extra bucks when you already have 1500 each month.
I'm not sure about anyone else but I know that what he hasn't said anything about are all his other expenses. Such as electricity, phone, water, etc. Not to mention that this person may still be paying off college loans. Since they didn't mention ALL their expenses, let's focus on what they DID mention, which is the disparity of the incomes.

It all depends on how the state calculates child support. If it isn't an income share state, then her income doesn't matter at all. Nor does his parenting time.

Yeah, It's called "living". car note, utilities, insurance, clothing,etc., etc. some little something called car gas. I bring home $2,300 after taxes and after child support is paid. My ex brings home $5,000 per month plus the $800 she gets for child support. Do the math folks. So, let's get this right, "I do everythng right, she does everything wrong, and I still come out bad. C'mon guys get over your ex and make sense. Not all men are bad.

You can go back and request that child support be modified. Are you paying all of the medical or is it split? My state gives credit to the one paying these expenses against the total child support. Does yours?
