Child support is all relative. It really depends on what the parents are making. The way they try to figure the amount is so the child’s standard of living won’t change once it’s parents are separated.

I agree that Homer was placed in the more stable home. What I don’t get is why famous people think they need that astronomic child support payment. Sure its nice to have $19,000-$33,000 a month child support but come on parents do it all the time w/ less every month…..it DOES NOT take that much to support 1 child in a single month even if the custodial parent didn’t work it still leaves them well off.
i have friends who support more than 1 child on less than that and they are comfortable.

i know i know they are accustomed to the finer things, i’m just saying it isn’t right.

Well if Anne is all that unstable, how stable can he be to have married her? Oh well, I hope it’s what is best for the child.

Child support in most jurisdicitions is figured out by a complicated formula, which includes how much parents’ incomes. It may not be any more percentage wise than other parents pay it just looks like more.

holy crap… 19,000 a month?????? i wish i got that much lol

$19K a month? That’s chump change compared to what Diddy dishes out to all his baby mamas.

I think $19,000 a month for child support is ridiculous. Some people don’t even make that in a year! What the hell does a kid need $19,000 a month for? I think it’s for the dad!

Ummm am I insane or 19,000 a bit much for monthly child support? Is that a typo?
someone help me drag my jaw off the floor!

Anne really seems to march to the beat of her own drum (if you know what I mean,lol). I truly hope that the little fellow has love and stability in his life. Poor guy was given the challenge of carrying the name Homer Laffoon thru life. Hope they do what is best for HIM.

I’m glad this is the outcome. It’s what’s best for Homer.
