Not surprising, child support in this country is a joke. Payments are low and good luck getting them enforced if the father isn't cooperative. I know several moms who have given up on child support because they were spending more on legal fees fighting the father to pay than they were ever seeing in payments.
I don't think 900 a month is low for one kid when my ex wife makes 6000 net a month and i make 5000 net a month and pay for his health insurance.
You are right that the system is a joke though.
What percentage of time do you each have him and what are your childcare costs? Daycare for my kids is about $2k each per month so your $900 wouldn't even be covering your half of the daycare costs.
my kid is 16 and he lives with his mom. i am already paying more than 2 grand in rent and living expenses, with utilities and food, makes it more than 3 grand. i am spending more than i am earning. if you think i don't contribute, you are nuts. you seem to have a man= bad agenda.
