So me and my husband are officially splitting up and I'm moving out, back to my hometown. His monthly income is $2,800 and I could only work on the weekends so I could have a babysitter for Axton. He says he will continue paying for my phone ($30). Upon figuring his monthly expenses including food, he has $1,500 left after all bills. We are trying to settle out of court if possible. I am thinking $500 isn't unreasonable for child support based on everything but he's throwing a fit about it. That leaves him with $1,000 extra each month that isn't used for bills or really anything but his newfound partying habit.

I would just take him to court honestly because they might give you more than $500 seeing as he makes that much a month. & also that way it's out of your hands and he can't say you're being unreasonable. Dealing with it outside of court might save you the hassle now but in the long run its better because if you don't go through the court and he gets mad at you for something later on down the road he doesn't legally have to pay you anything if it's not through the court and then you're fucked out of money that month.
I would say just take him to the courts and let them handle it that way it seems more "fair" to him. He can always say he'll pay you and you can never receive anything. Having the courts involved just makes it more legit in my opinion and the chances of him avoiding to pay then are lowered. And you'll also be able to do something if he's not paying his child support and the courts are involved.
Yeah in the state of Missouri it's 17% of their income which is actually $476. Which I would be totally happy with. It's more the fact that he doesn't want to pay anything but buy diapers and formula every now and then. There are a lot more that go into a babies care. @mamabearto2cubs @myjulyprincesseli @rapunzel_304 thank you, it's been a long time coming but I'm really dressed out, I've been a stay at home mom for almost a year so I have no money at all and it seems like he doesn't want to help any. Court may be the only answer.
Depending on her situation as well is how they determine the child support rate so she will receive way over $200/month if she's barely working. It's not just based off of his income. It's based off of both theirs.
Dang 500 for child support ???!! I didn't know they take that much .. Or is that what your asking for ?
tbh with his income they'd most likely only make him pay $150 to $200 a month.
Also should add that even at $500 a month child support I would have to work 14 hours a day on the weekend days just to make bills according to ours the last time we lived there.
you could possibly get alimony too if you take him to court. but that's based on how long you were married and if the marriage changed your lifestyle
