Thoughts on child support ?

Question

I have a 8 year old daughter with a guy lol we weren’t bf gf just happened never got together or anything since she was born we came to an agreement that her dad will give me 160 every two weeks for her.. she’s 8 now do you guys think it’s enough ? I want to have a talk to him about getting more ? What do you guys think is 160 to much or to little it’s every 15 days

Answer

Depends on how much he makes. That doesn’t sound like enough to me.

Answer

My husband pays 173$ a week for a total of 750$ a month for a 3 year old

Answer

She’s going to be doing clubs now and after school activities, think him helping to support her hobbies and school supply, as well as some clothes would be fair. I find you should get more now because she’s 8, $160 would of been if she was an infant or a toddler, though even then moms get more. Children need a bit more, because of extra stuff like school supplies and hobbies, picture day, what if she want to do Girl Scouts or competition cheer/dance, not to mention field trips etc. ￼
