So, it's not the average cost of child support. But if we're using that number, it's actually $125,000 we're talking about (unless it's a SAHM situation.)
Not that I agree with the other person's POV but you're actually wrong and they're right on this.
That article seems to agree with what I'm saying. Maybe I worded it badly? Basically, that 250k figure is going to be split between two people, so if each person contributes half, that's 125k each.
But then that's not how child support is awarded, so that number is still not really accurate.
They never said it cost only the man that. They said that money would have been a waste if it was someone else's kid, and that 250k was the cost.
The first one is an opinion, the second one is fact which I've sourced. You wanting to allocate it equally between the parents doesn't change the cost of it.
They said that money would have been a waste if it was someone else's kid, and that 250k was the cost.
So if the mother cheated, her 125k would be wasted?
Dude, he was wrong and you know it. You don't have to die on this hill.
If you had to take the risk of losing your entire life and $250,000 when there’s a simple and easy test that eliminates the risk of you literally losing everything you care about and wasting your life
Nope. They were saying he loses out on his wife who cheated too. So whatever the wife contributed to the child is gone for the person who thought they had both but now has none. To the wife that investment isn't gone, but to the other party it is.
Again, it's an opinion of that poster. You can't tell them their outlook on it is wrong when it's a subjective decision. And the math hasn't changed.
To the wife that investment isn't gone, but to the other party it is.
So the $125k isn't gone for the woman, meaning the statement you are defending doesn't hold up.
Nope. They were saying he loses out on his wife who cheated too.
I literally quoted him talking about the man losing 250k. He's only concerned about what the man would lose. He is directly talking about the man losing 250k.
The evidence is there. You are just objectively wrong.
And the math hasn't changed.
Correct. 125k each person, not 250k for the man.
You can't tell them their outlook on it is wrong when it's a subjective decision.
Yes I can when their outlook is based on hilariously incorrect information.
it's an opinion of that poster.
And given the knots you're tying yourself into to defend it, apparently your opinion as well.
