I am willing to bet you don't pay 400,000 either. Again, it shouldn't be based on how much you earn, that doesn't make sense. A child is a child is a child so why would his child cost more than your child? It is supposed to be support for a child, and if the father has so much money that the child's life should improve with the income he earns then the child should be placed with the father due to the means with which he can provide said support.

I think Ray Carruth is a murderer, but I also think he was young. Laws like this drive people to do insane things. Fear is a hell of a motivator. The system is unfair and until it is reformed you're going to see husbands and father doing things they may not have done otherwise.

I see your point and I agree. But let's look at it like this....If I pay say 15% of my annual salary for CS and I make 60,000 a year. And he pays 15% of his and he makes 5 million a year, he's obviously gonna pay much more.

Now that seems unfair to the guy right?

Okay, well of the state says OK everyone, it's now only going to cost 2000 a month for child support for everyone....That's a huge chunk out of a person's wallet that doesn't make much compared to a drop in the bucket for someone who is rich.

I guess my point here is....There's no real fair way. Someone is gonna take a hit. With taking a percentage of a person's salary, it keeps the CS a constant. It takes as much from the poor guy as the rich guy.

Not a perfect system. But it's the system.
