How much is she worth? The article makes no mention of that.

I can tell you from personal experience that the court system is biased against men. My child support payments are:

1) automatically taken out of my check even though i always paid on time and was not a flight risk.

2) are more than 2/3 of what this guy's are even though I cannot afford to pay such a sum.

3) are garnished from "after tax" income.

4) are not counted as income to my ex-wife

5) are not deductible on my taxes

6) bear no relation to her financial picture. My ex-wife is much better off financially than I am. And finally...

7) Individual states receive money from the federal government for the number of people that they directly have under their control for child support payments. The State has a vested interest in perpetuating this racket.

So sweetie cups, DON'T YOU DARE insinuate that I think that men should be able to walk away from their obligations to their children!

That is a canard used by dishonest people to perpetuate a corrupt system.

All of which has exactly what to do with the amount Neill is paying. Father SHOULD pay child support after a divorce, period end of sentence. The amount is 100% reasonable given his income level. Trying to hold up philandering Neil Bush paying 2% of his income in child support as proof that the system goes against men simply won't cut it.

I'm sorry you got screwed. But still, as far as I'm concerned, if he's making something like a million a year, no matter what the mother is making, I don't have a problem with him paying $1500 a month in child support.

I'm not defending the child support system, btw. The system is corrupt.
