Wow, great reponse! Thank you very much for the quick reply. To answer your question, I would gladly pay my wife's share of support (provided it was financially possible), since it would cause the least amount of change in our family's life. Daycare is roughly $400-$500 per child. My wife has only a high school diploma behind her name with no specific trade, so she would not be making much more than minimum wage. That's why we made the decision to tighten things up and keep the young ones at home. It has worked ok for us. I was just worried that my income would be used to increase the gross income of the two parties.
