Dude just don't like rap. I've seen people say the same about WU-Tang, and you need a college level vocabulary to understand most of their lyrics. Lol

I thought you were posting a quote from Tyrese.

The child doesn't need a $13k a month "lifestyle" when with the mother on account that their father has enough money to live such a lifestyle. Like I said, that portion of money splitting should be determined openly and upfront in the divorce proceedings. To add to "lifestyle" payments under the auspice of child support is nothing more than legalized theft. IMHO.

No person should EVER have to pay anyone $13k a month under the guise of that money being necessary for the other parent to fund the child when in their custody. I don't care how much money the person makes. It's one of the most unfair and asinine laws this country has and it baffles me there isn't a legitimate movement to change the law.
Money splits due to divorce should be determined outright and child support should be a reasonable amount to contribute to typical expenses of raising a child. No one thinks that $13k a month is being spent on the child, it's going to the lifestyle of the parent.
But when a kid is involved, I'm not so sure it would also be fair for the millionaire divorced half to continue to live the millionaire life while giving a few hundred bucks a month which is just enough to cover the child's necessary expenses. Even if you argue putting the remainder in a fund for the child or something, that's fine too. But I do think the rich parent should be giving up an amount to keep the child comfortable, not just enough to get by.

I love that song. CSB.
My kids about a year ago wanted to hear Miss Jackson via Spotify. Completely caught offguard by my 11 and 13 yr old wanting to hear Outkast's Ms Jackson, I was still down for it. So i started it and they quickly go "Dad No! It's by Panic at the Disco."
A 5 minute youtube views comparison and forced listening session, convinced them of the superiority of OutKast's song about co-parenting in the "female-favored custody model". The only lyric I was careful to turn down was "dick all in her mouth". A year later my 14 yr old daughter has it on her playlist.
TLDR. That's a fantastic and timeless song.

If the money is supposed to support the child, the amount should be based on the cost of raising a child in the area where the child lives.
The income of the father should be irrelevant.

Rap lyrics are the most real, clever lyrics there are, imo

Not so fast. The idea of support is "continuity of lifestyle prior to the split". That's why the support amount is tied to income. It's bullshite sometimes and fair others.
Simply put, men who work for a salary/contract easily connected to his IRS returns get's frickED. while a business owner/self-employed father frickS the system.
I know two guys in BR my age who pay half the support I do yet make twice my salary b/c their business 'loses money' every year.

Wanna another nugget of info. The entire Hollywood Cole concept is a MISHEARD Outkast lyric that J Cole thought was a shout out to HIM.
HE then adopted Hollywood Cole despite Outkast telling his manager the real lyric. And Lil Wayne even references it at the beginning of Right Above it.
And our own Cole Freeman was called Hollywood Cole.
He was saying "Who else wanna frick with Hollywood Court"
right here. Now ya know.

Well there's a middle ground between $13k and "a few hundred bucks a month."
Establish brackets instead of percentages. You make over x amount of money, you pay $2-3k per month. Something like that. $3k a month equates to a $36k yearly salary on top of that parents income and the income of whatever their potential new partner makes. That's more than adequate for comfortable living. That's all I'm saying.

Agreed.
I'll murder my wife and hide her body before I get divorced. No shot I got through a legal system that tells me when I can see my kid.

This is also bullshite. How can you predict that the lifestyle will remain the same for whatever duration the support payments are set for? What if the economy tanks, the supporter loses their job etc. According to the current laws you still have to continue paying the amount which was the "lifestyle" at the time the divorce was finalized.

And here’s an additional kick to the gut. The father has to pay taxes on the money he gives her every month. Meanwhile, she gets $156K tax free annual income. Yeah, that’s fair. #maleprivilege
