Re: Married and lonely
I had a twenty year marriage in California. I was legally "entitled" to spousal support until I remarried or cohabitated... and then half his retirement when he retired. I could have stayed in the home, because spousal support and child support would have covered the morgage payment. I chose to take non of the above.
Child support for two was $1400 a month, set by me, and based on what I knew I would need...not based on what I was entitled to...and that is what the children and I lived off of until I remarried....my ex was a cop but made about $48,000 a year at the time of divorce (twenty years ago). I am sure my ex was thrilled at my choices.
Things have changed since then, but it is unheard of that child support of $150 is that low unless the mother is making much much more than her ex husband...all income is factored in as well as percentage of time spent with each parent.
