How far will $1500 a month go in the interior

Alimony in Argentina is a bargain...

It's supposed to be about 20-30 percent of your income. Which, if your income is us-based, a small fortune.

Yes definitely

If you truly believe that, then there is your answer ... $1.5K is a sum too great for what you are trying to do ... Support your child and it's mother to some degree. Because a person has to care for a child should not mean they get a free ride in life. Yet, they do need some help as a single parent providing on their own. This is always a tough one to balance out. It becomes tougher when the recipient of the assistance is diverting some of the funding for personal use. Now if it were me as the recipient in this situation ... Any money I had left over each month would go into savings for the child's future, or for a future month / time when the child needed a bit more than was covered by the usual monthly funds. To keep myself in good conscience ... anything less would be stealing from my own son. But that's me, not most people.

NO! That formula does not fit every situation. There will be low wage earners who need to give a bit more than the percentage because life is not free and perhaps they may need to get two jobs and something else on a weekend. And for the person who is making 7+ figures a year ... it would be absurd to hand over that kind of money to care for a child's needs. The formula is wrong ... if that is correct.

If you are wealthy why wouldn't you want your children to enjoy that very same lifestyle? This is what I find almost obscene. Parents had an option, children didn't. Not only parents destroy their world but now think they should be contempt with whatever you hand out, because you are too greedy to give tgen access to the very same things that you have.

If it were actually spent on the children sure, that's great.

The children can enjoy the same lifestyle ... if they stay with the parent who can provide it.

The problem lies with the children being with the parent who cannot provide the superior lifestyle.

There is no reason to keep the other parent up in style ... particularly if they are the one who wants to call it quits.

Part of leaving someone is relinquishing what you enjoyed and had ... There is no God given right to take with you what is not yours or what you have not earned, I know courts do this to people all the time, but it does not make it right.

Sorry guys. You know that children need to be with their moms when they are very young. The minute you split up you just think about making it as cheap as possible no matter what. Money talks.

 

[EL_TIGRE_de_Tigre]

There are two issues here ...

#1-The well being of a child / children and #2- Financial assistance to a person who leaves another.

#1 -Children need to be with both of their parents for proper development. A child needs both a father figure and a mother figure in their life.

If the children are important enough - STAY TOGETHER and MAKE IT WORK!

However, if the man and woman cannot put the children first and selfishly part ways creating an either or scenario to care for a child in a one parent household ... It should be noted that the bond of love and the ability to nurture can be fulfilled by either sex of our species. There are many very capable, warm hearted males who outshine their female counterpart in this endeavor.

#2 -Mind you this is not a one way street ... as there are many wildly successful females out there too ...But be that as it may ... before the couple came into being ... each part of the couple provided for themselves ... there is no justification for it to be any other way after the couple is dissolved.

Women who have money far and above what their male partners are capable of are just as unmoved to give it away after the relationship ends. Greed, if that is what it is ... is a human emotion and not just associated with males.

Money has no voice - It is the stubbornness of the dissenting partner with the voice ... They are calling the shots for both people. The DUMPER is not always the one with the brighter financial picture. So if the DUMPER is less well off, they have had ample time to consider it all without anyone forcing them to make any particular action against the relationship.

In that case, let me suggest you look into setting up a trust. Get advice from someone who specialises in such things. You can set it up in a way which can aliviate your concern.

Good luck.
