Straight from the NC law site. you can agree. The guidelines for the state are apparently, just that, guidelines and per a judge they can be worked out between the divorcees.

Thing is, I agree that it's the children's right. They deserve to be taken care of and that there is financial means for them to be taken care of. No question there. But it's not like social security where they receive that and it's to them but this is payment to the other parent in need to take care of the children, they do not get direct financial payment. So it's not really that the kids have a right to the money, it's not their money. it's for care.

Don't get me wrong. I am not against Child support but I think it should be based on who has the means and who has the kids. If I have them primarily, I don't expect anything from her. Why? because I have the means financially to support them fully. She doesn't. Why would it be fair for her to pay?
