I can only say....make friends with a family lawyer. Ask them to show you the financial forms that go into calculating child support........its very clinical and not very arbitrary at all. Divulging actual costs and expenses vs wants and whims. The court doesn't play favorites. It's based on expenses and incomes.
I can see the train wreck before even the pieces are flung all over the side of the track. Let's understand that even as a model or whatever Halle berrys ex WILL mooch off that money. Unless it is strictly repped and taken care of by someone other than said ex. Daddy can be a good daddy and still take advantage of a lucrative situation. In my opinion this is what's happening. Ex will mess up somehow, Halle will go back to court and get the whole thing revoked.
well he choose to procreate with her. she's "crazy" but still made all that money. he is perfectly sane but wants to live off her. he wants custody but can't afford it without halle. halle is a self made millionaire. gabe is a free loading bum.
Don't matter. Halle has the money, doesn't matter what's right or wrong. It only matters that she can afford it.
Why are parents obligated to assure a certain lifestyle? Its great if they do but outside of necessities why are they suppose to do anything? Millions survive and thrive on the basics like food clothes and a roof over their heads with the occasional extras thrown in. 20k a month is excessive. The baby can't survive without gucci loafers? Or is the yearly vacation to Ibesa or Milan instrumental to the child's upbringing? Not saying it wouldn't be cool if the kid gets it but I don't understand why she deserves anything. Outside of a good education I don't see why a parent should to provide any other extras. Rent in even the best parts of the US don't go for much more than 5k a month and I'm including utilities in that figure.
You are only obligated to pay it if you can, apparently. That's what I never understood gross amounts of alimony honestly. So that the spouse can continue to live the life they are accustomed to? Divorce brings change. Change means that things don't stay the same. In the case of a well to-do husband having to pay exorbant amounts of alimony to a spoiled ex-spouse, it's utter bullshit. How does she suffer if she can't buy Gucci shoes? Fuck all that. It's change...deal with it.
