Does anyone think $100 a month is too much, or too little in Child support?

My ex only has to pay $100 a month in Child Support, and he even complains that it is too much. However, he expects that he should have full control of anything and everything I do concerning my son, inspite of the fact he never calls to talk to him (his mom does), doesn't send the child support (his mom does for him) and doesn't even come pick his son up for visitation (again.. his mommy does that for him too!)  So, am I in the wrong in thinking he should just get out of my son's life now before it just gets worse, take him back to court or what?? Just SO FUSTRATED!

*****I forgot to add.... I'm also not allowed to claim my son with Taxes.. He is.. Even though I have almost full Custody... *******

I think 100.00 per WEEK is too little!  What crap!

It really depends on the child's standard of living. Child support is supposed to help make sure that after a divorce, the child's living situation doesn't alter drastically.

I am a Private School sending, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Homework Helping, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Academic pushing Mum. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it raising my child - I will do that, Thank You. I believe that a woman's place is in the home taking care of her house, children and husband. I am submissive and proud, my husband is head of my home. I am a proud, traditional Roman Catholic, as is my husband... Yes we are teaching our daughter that The Church is the only Church.               Aimee

IT DEPENDS HOW MUCH HE MAKES, TO SAY IF ITS TO MUCH OR NOT. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU THINK ITS TO MUCH, IT MATTERS HOW MUCH HE MAKES

$100 a month is a very small amount

He wasn't when they got married, you kow series of events and people change. My ex wasn't an asshole when we got married. NOW he IS a BIG asshole and a mama's boy(he moved back in with his mom yet again! (He's going to be 38 in Feb btw)!)

Quoting psychessun:

if he's making $400 a month, yeah, it's right or high. 

ummm, next time don't reproduce with a mommy's boy.
