@Ashanti. Smell a rat both ends up.

No matter where you take the point of liability to start from, the amount of money is not a serious sum amount of money to a man in his position, even if he is not earning the kind of money he used to. If it is a simple issue of an absoulute amount it cost to raise a child, all things being considered.

The whole issue about whether it is based on current earnings or earlier is absolutely irrelevent to the child and all about either the woman looking money for herself and him trying to protect what he has, with a child in the middle. That is why these things are so nasty,because yes there are many men who do not accept responsibilities and other women looking to eat and drink of off men.

I know a brother who has his own business who is paying his child's mother £600 a month for his 4 year old daughter, much of it going to keep her lifestyle,combined with a very flexible part time job and taking various classes for which she is paid. Not mention all the holidays which her daughter desperately needs to go on[right] for which he pays for etc.

So these things often have nothing whatsoever to do about the welfare of children, but what the woman in question can get.

Ja....
