He can send his $368 dollars up his butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let him complain. I have to listen to my youngest son's dad complain about it and he doesn't even pay it!! I have to hear it without even getting any money! Or you could complain right back...tell him how much you have to ADD TO IT to be able to get your daughter everything she needs! They somehow think that their couple hundred dollars a month pays for everything a child needs..... Don't get me started.

Do you spend an amount equal to the support and the amount he otherwise spends from your own funds to support your daughter? Is he also required to provide insurance and pay for medical expenses in addition to the support? As a custodial parent would have to provide a home, food, utilities and transportation for themselves, whether or not the child lived with them, it is my opinion that this should not a part of what child support is used for. Assuming that the $368 is a monthly amount - that comes to $4416 a year, and assuming that you provide a like amount, that provides $8832 per year to provide for your daughter - a pretty good sum for one child!

Well I don't have an ex but I find that really stupid that he is complaining about that. I mean she is his daughter and what's so hard about giving money so that she can live well? She should be his first priority right now and it's just plain stupid that he is complaining about that. If it's about he not having enough money then he needs to get another job so that he could stop complaining.

I don't have kids but I've heard this complain from all of my friends. I don't know what on earth it is that makes a man think that just because making a baby is free that apparently raising them will be too. Makes no sense at all! I wish the court system would be friendlier to moms and make these dad pay up a more livable sum! My mom was a single mom and my dad I think gave us all of maybe $500 in the 27 yrs I've been on earth. He lived out of the country but was here (in the same city as me but never near me) 24/7 but because he had an out of the US addy, we couldn't make him pay a dime. What got me the most upset was watching my mom work 3 jobs while he was more than wealthy and supporting his extended family!

Let him complain and smile when the check comes in.

Amen Honeydew. I have one that feels the same way, and there are days when I want to tell him to bite me as well. In the end, it is just their way of getting back at us as punishment for getting divorced or whatever goes on in their small minds.

Yeah, he is a real moron and not too smart. Doesn't he know that he would pay way more than $368 if he lived with you and was a resident parent? My spouse works full time and we have to spend well over $1500 on a tight budget to care for our family, one third of which goes to our child, maybe more! He's getting off easy! No way that money pays all the stuff that your child needs! You deserve way more. Don't cut him a break.

ugghh yes thats stupid,

I have never had that problem as I got married and stayed married to the same man for thirty four years. I was just incredibly lucky in my choice of a mate. I can see how' irritating it would be to hear your ex complain all the time about providing for his child. she is his daughter so legally he has to provide for her. and that amount of moneyis just pathetic. he should feel lucky to just have topay that 'much. Now I hope I do not offend you but if you had even a part time job you would make more than $368 a monthm plus you would be rid of his bit*hing all the time. I know you might have to hire a baby sitter but would it not be worth it? just a thought.
