I am paying what is (IMO) an unreasonable amount. My ex's standard of living went way up. Mine went way down.
If you are male, the State assumes you to be a deadbeat dad. It doesn't matter what has been done previous to the State being involved. My wages were garnished even though there was no reason for them to be. That's my State law.
Also, to the poster that said that Child Support levels are not adjusted over the years and that it was wrong that they weren't, I would say that since they are so unreasonable in the first place, i have no sympathy for this view.
It would also help if the Special Master would look at the financial evidence before rendering a decision.
The Special Master in my case didn't do her job. My lawyer advised against appeal.
