Me and my wife divorced after 5 years, 2 kids. They went by my W2 for child support and it was 1870.00 a month for 2 kids. We were divorced for 2 years and we reconciled and decided to get remarried. It took me 3 years after being remarried to get the child support order dropped with the use of a lawyer. I can tell you this and that is to not get DHR involved because they are ruthless and it takes a bunch of money and time to change what they have in place. We have now been married a total of 19 years minus the 2
Also to add to this, when the time comes for court and w2's/paystubs get brought up, don't be surprised if the mother drops her full-time job and grabs a part-time job. Meanwhile you keep hammering working full-time at your career job. This will mean you are paying way more child support (that may or may not be actually going to your child).
