"It took her three months to get child support, she says, which is $750 paid to her every two weeks. Flowers says Neil is actually ahead in his child support payments. Sharon says she still hasn't received alimony, which will amount to $30,000 a year for four years. Flowers says the alimony isn't supposed to start until the house is sold. "

My poor son was ordered to pay over $4500 a month in maintenance and child support and he was earning less than $100,000 a year. The week after he was ordered to pay that the bottom dropped out of the Seattle dot-com industry, and he got laid off. After several months of the financial hemoraging, he finally got back into court and instead of lowering the payments, the judge told him to get a job. Ms. Bush should have filed in Seattle. The poor guys really get screwed here.

Gross$100,000

less $54,000

= $46,000 GROSS less ALL TAXES

In CT or NY Taxes would be over 55% TOTAL

By my calculations, -$100,000 LESS $55,000 ALL TAXES = $45,000

$45,000 LESS $54,000 = MINUS $9,000 INCOME LEFT

The story mentions "alimony". Unless things have recently changed, Texas is not an alimony state. I wonder what the address of the house is? I live in the Memorial area but not in a million+ $ house.
