Yes, because marrying strictly for money is the way to go. Good luck with that. How many women do you know you make comparable salaries especially to the oilfield here in Louisiana? Most women who work full time here make $30,000-45,000 a year.

I bet some divorced dads in here won’t disagree with me.

I make a lot more money than my wife now. That wasn't always the case. It's never been a big issue for us

Does your ex work?
Yes, she does since the divorce. She quit working to be a "stay at home" mom when our daughter was born. Her work provides better insurance than I can get, but she still wants our daughter on my policy. Just spitefulness, no logic or reason was used in that decision. She got a lump sum in the settlement, along with monthly payments for 3 years and of course, child support. I'm pretty sure all the money she got from me, is now gone. She ended up selling one on her cars awhile back, and barely buys anything of substance for our daughter for Christmas or birthday. I bet she spent less than $100 on her Christmas last year. Don't get me started on all the men she's been through and instilling into my daughter's life.

This is actually an argument that would be used against you to give your wife more money.
Especially if she says you have more disposable income to give the child thing.

shite gets real when you respond that way. Typically conversation goes South and I don't her from her for a couple of weeks. I consider it a win even though I end up spending money that I would have spent anyway.

Get Paulie Walnuts to pay her a visit.

I’m not great at buying that stuff. My ex lives to shop for my daughter. I split those items with her so I don’t have to go shopping or look through amazon.
I’m a guy. I’ve had the same style of shoes for 5 years. When I try to shop for her, all I see is random pink shite and I have no clue.

The way I understand it is that the child support is to simply get her back to even with you so the children's lifestyles don't differ when with you or with her. I could be wrong. Don't die on that hill. College, cars, insurance, weddings, grand kids are all coming later.

Nope. Doesn't work that way in Alabama. Child support is based entirely on income. Plug numbers into a formula and that's what it is. The point is, she had a bunch of money dropped in her lap, and spent it on frivolous items. Now, she has her wages and my child support.....for two more years! LOL!
My daughter will never go without, but mommy is in for a change in lifestyle when her income drops $12K/year.

I looked at it like this.... The child support and any help was always for my child. I knew how much my ex made. I knew what her house note was. I paid a little extra to help her out to make sure my daughter had everything she needed. I also never nit picked over me having to buy clothes once in a while. My ex and I always got along so we could talk it out. We split big expenses. I've also seen friends who wouldn't give one nickel over what they paid in child support. I always thought they were kind of petty for being that way and ultimately, their kids paid the price.
My advice is to use your judgement and try and get along with your ex. I know some women can be total psychos when it comes to dealing with them (men too) but it pays dividends to try and get along. If you think she's not managing the child support well, you need to address that. But, if she just needs a little extra, help her out. In this case, I'd help her out with the school clothes.

My daughter is of the age where she can choose which parent she wants to live with. She recently had a blow up with my ex about the "boyfriends" she been forced to spend time with, then they are gone and new one comes along. It was at the point where my daughter was about to live with me. Apparently, mommy has a new one now for several months and my daughter has yet to meet him. I guess the ex got the message. I thank God, that my wife's kids were grown when we met. No real drama on that side other than the awkwardness she experiences at family gatherings.

Yea most women, why settle?
Demand better, don't settle and marry up. The ones saying don't get married if you don't want to get divorced, stop marrying for looks only. Or marrying because someone is fun.
Find someone with a brain and ambition, who is mentally stable, moral and is overall a good person.
Y'all marry these women for looks and because they are fun loving and overlook all the flaws. Then act all surprised when she fricks you during a divorce. Then you come on here blaming them when it was you who chose poorly.

20 years ago but i didn’t give my ex anything really . Married 25 years. Gave her the house, owed 4 years on it. Low note. Paid her car and credit cards off. Paid my 18 year olds car note, ins, bought her food, clothes anything she needed directly to her.put her through college. But never gave the ex any monthly support or cash. She had to finally get a job.
