I pay 2415.00 a month due to income % and I’m still told it’s never enough for a 6 year old

Oh please. child support does not cover half of everything. The amount is based on their paycheck, not by what half the needs are. If you have a lot more money, and your child needs something, you get it. It's about the child, not the money.

isn't child support based on income? child support is to help, not pay for everything.

Your whole post contradicted itself when you said 50/50. Child support is definitely is not covering 50/50.

50/50 if you have primary custody you need to budget for that child

I've raised my nephew almost 12 years now and he will be 13 in July. last year I filed child support against his mom and his dad. not because I need the money because they're out living their lives and I'm being mom again.

I was very Blessed with my boys’ dad who paid child support and also helped with things outside child support. We figured it out together. We were still a team for our boys

Courts have percentages based on both incomes. The custodial is responsible for distributing the funds appropriately. If extra is needed it’s up to the individual decides if they do or not

in some cases it is not child support. it is the other parent support.

the problem is most of the time child support doesn't cover half of what it costs to raise a child. my kids dad and I set child support as low as they would allow and if I needed help all I had to do was let him know. But, in the same breath, he and I also remained the best of friends and did what was best for our kids together always. so I've always considered us lucky to not have all the drama and to be able to continue to do it all together for the kids.

child support in most cases does not cover 50% of the child's expenses and its a reimbursement for what the custodial parent has already shelled out.

I get 132.65 a month. She is now 17. That 130$ doesn’t even cover her lunch account at school. So yeah, she may ask him for an extra 20$. But I understand what you are saying.
