I have no issue with child support as long as it is a reasonable amount and used to pay for half of the child's living expenses. The problem that i've seen is that there are cases where the amount a man has to pay is absolutely obscene.

I assumed no one knows about alimony since no one will tell me how its works, what it's for etc. How different is it to child support? Does it work out by % of income? Geez, if child support is a sour point here on this thread then alimony must be even more sour!

Well, I don't believe in alimony unless it's limited to only 1-2 years while the ex wife picks up some skills. After that it should be squashed.

In regards to the Op, a majority of people are living it tough and he's not the only person living with financial hardship. Most are and my bet is he's better off than alot of other people out there.
If the Op is a genuine professional then he knows what to do to drum up more income to help himself. It's all a balancing act and doing afew odd cash jobs on his days off would'nt do him any harm. Alot of people do 2-3 jobs; whats wrong with him doing a fulltime job and a casual job on the side? Wish I knew what he did for a living, I could help out with suggestions and steer him in the right direction. I do run a business so I'm not intirely blind.

Prenups are good for as long as children don't enter in to the relationship, then it becomes nil and void. Co-Habitation Agreements usually have a specific time frame then it has to be renewed depending on the law in your state. Here, the maximum life of a Co-Habitation agreement is 5 years before it has to be renewed.
Personally I think these should be entered in to before marriage however I'm a big believer all couples should enter counselling for 3 months before marriage too. But thats not the issue here, child support is.
