10 % is $5,400 so 30% is $16,200

I have three children...besides the around 30%, I pay medical, dental, and vision issurance, buy school supples, clothes, take them to their T, get them haircuts, pay for field trips, pay for instrument lessons, rent another once instrument...and on and on...

I'm not sure what kind of guy your ex or soon to be one is...If he is a man...he will go above and beyond just the child support...so I would be concerned about trying to dig any deeper...if he is not reporting income to IRS...it will catch up to him...Give him an opportunity to step and be a man...

I don't think I'm unique when I list this all out I think there are a lot of good fathers that are heavily involved with their kids in terms of relationships and financial needs...(yes I know there are enough that aren't...my own dad wasn't able to overcome his issues to step up to the plate to be a dad)...
