well it's more than that ;)
they don't say how much he pays but mentioned that the 2 parents pay about the same (dad pays a couple hundred dollars more)
So based on that I would guess these kids are getting about 8,200 a month for in total.
"they don't say how much he pays but mentioned that the 2 parents pay about the same (dad pays a couple hundred dollars more)"
But, I think the situation here, and why it went to court, was that originally the dad was paying $0.00 in child support. They just each went about their lives with the kids and only if a big expense came up would either have to part with a specific amount of $$. Then, even when the mom started working part time she supplemented with other income from investments, etc. and still did not get a "child support" income from ex-hubby.
Now, she wanted to stop working all together and have him provide a monthly (annual, whatever) "stipend"; and I guess she'll get it now. But, as the kids are older, and as the father does have a great ability to pay, I suppose it's ok for these people. But what I really got out of this article is how really bad a way that is to life one's life as a parent.
