20 k a month is a lot for the OT poors but it is low for these kids


It's fricking $240k a year in theory solely for the kids.

If he can't "adequately support" two kids part time with $240k/year then he is spending that money on things other than those two kids (like himself and his other kids). Spears probably already pays for most of the kids' large expenses anyway.

Sure $240k/year is a fairly small percentage for child support when you make $34 million but he is clearly asking for her to support him and his other children if he needs more than $20k/month.


You're missing the "at her level" part of the equation.

At some point, I think there are diminishing returns on lifestyle enjoyment with high incomes, especially for children. The effective quality of life between the two is not comparable to your example, I don't think.

Sorry for the kids but it’s not Britney’s fault that her ex is a loser who hasn’t done shite in years.

Child support should be about the care and maintenance of the children, not equalizing the home environments by docking the breadwinner to support the leach, regardless of genders involved.
Not always this simple though


People always go to cases like this, where it is obvious someone seems to be a douche


But what about this scenario


Couple marries

Wife could have gone to med school and gone on to be world renowned surgeon

Instead, in agremeent with the husband, she is a stay at home mom and raises the kids

Husband makes million at his job, obviously more able to put in time due to wife raising the kids and giving up her career in medicine

They are married for 15 years

They divorce


Wife is now supposed to have to live simply a conformable life?

Huh?

There is no chance that $20k a month is an EQUAL SITUATION to what Spears is making, that's just fact.

In the words of Obama, you didn't build that.

He makes millions and they can afford child care. She chose to skip med school.

Absolutely absurd and scummy, but I can say it's at least funny to see a man going after ridiculous amount of child support.


Technically he's got a case. Her income is substantially higher than it was when they first split.

If a divorced dad goes from $70k a year at time of divorce to $150k a year 2 years later, he's damn well going to get hit for more child support if baby mama i still a secretary at a law office making $42k. Happens ALL THE TIME.

The worst thing about child support IMO.

I can't deduct it and the baby mamas don't have to claim it. I would but I just these days b/c we all get along too well to complain about money.

Thats bullshite though. They chose as a couple they wanted her to stay home and raise their children. An admirable choice. She, at that point, not due to being a whore that this board is all so afraid of, forfeited her career and earning potential in the future.

His argument was they made the joint decision for her to be a stay at home mom for the betterment of the children. Not that she chose to skip med school and be a gold digger living at home.

I'd say the worst part is having to pay it in the first place.

$240k is 0.7% of $34 mil. Just putting that out there.

It is a hell of a lot of money, but I kinda agree that someone that earns that much should probably pay more until their kids are gone.

While the money seems absurd to most of us, its really not. When you are making $34 mil a year for as long as Spears has then you are living multi levels above what the average person can think about.

Correct. In those cases, it would be completely ridiculous to say she should only get the benefits of necessity in divorce
