$8000 a month, and he's actively involved in his son's life. as a woman, I even think that she's doing too much. She was getting 10K a month.. even with tuition, medical care, extracurricular that's more than enough. the problem is when is enough, enough? Big difference between lifestyle management and child support management: the baby's father supporting your whole lifestyle and the actual money being used to MANAGE and support the every day needs of the child. Makes it bad on us women who actually are employed and use the money for it's intended use - the child only.
