In addition to child support payments you may also be required to pay spousal support. Child support payments are general living expenses only, they don't include things like day care expenses, medical etc. It adds up faster than you think.
You do learn to live with it, but damn it would cost me less to have a live in nanny who cooks for me, cleans my house and have a live in day home care provider for my son.
I think there should be a cap on child support payments and before anyone calls me a deadbeat father.....I pay quite a bit and I'll always pay.
