If you chose to a marry a woman who makes less than you then this is how it plays out for men. Choose better next time and you will be receiving that $4k per month from your ex.

Men need a divorce lobbyist at the federal and local level to change these ridiculous laws.

4500 for me at 40/60. I’m taking on the state and daring them to test me, put in jail for the system encouraging abusive dv wives to walk away with houses and half my pay.
The state uses gross pay’ like there’s no taxes, much less bills.
F that.

I’ve been paying half. Turning into a criminal. Good.

Should not be child support on 50/50. I dont have it with my oldest and Ill fight like hell to not have it this time around. Pay for things at your place, ill pay for things at mine. Split medical and extracurricular 50/50. If you cant afford life for them at your house, they can come live at mine more then. My STBXW lives with friends rent free, listed 0 bills in her divorce papers. Lawyer fully ready to argue she dont need child support since she admitted to having no bills at all.

It’s a scam

Illinois. 5k per month. 8 yrs for a 10 yr marraige. She was imputed part time minimum wage. (Healthy enough to commit adultery and film it, not healthy enough to work). No kids

Yup. That’s about my estimates, too. Sucks!!

But it will be worth it.

Sucks as an MBA it was the worst transaction of my life. I love women, hate marriage.

you are probably forgetting to factor imputed income and then switch the alimony before calculating child support.

$3300 for me with 50/50 and her never having been a SAHM and we prioritized her career throughout the marriage.
