7. what I hear about child support
is that it is based on income, and I had a number of fathers tell me that paying child support is a lot more expensive than paying child expenses. One was celebrating that he no longer had to pay - because he was getting his kid or kids, and I said "but you still have to pay" and a bunch of fathers chimed in to tell me that I was wrong about that. The point is, that it may be impossible for one person to live on $459 a month, but it is easier for two people to live on $918 a month or three people on $1,377 a month. It is absurd to divide the income by the number of people and claim that is some sort of equivalence.
