50 Cent's ex wants more child support

But does it seem right for a parent to gain wealth and the child not to? It's easy to look down on this woman for wanting more, but typically, following divorce, the mother and children's standard of living goes down and the father's go up. Why should the father live better because his kids aren't in his custody?

Let's look at another example: a mother gets $500 a month in child support to supplement her $30,000/year income. The father gets a raise from making $30,000 a year to making $90,000 year (let's say he finished school or something). Should the mother still struggle with his kids while dad goes on lavish vacations?

Its ridiculous that this woman is getting $25,000 dollars to begin with. Just because a man is successful does not mean he has to share that with woman he is divorced from. He has a responsibility to support something he brougoht into this world, not a responsability lavish the kid (and more likely his mother specifically in this situation).

The point is that at $300 thousand a year she is well beyong the point of being supported. That is PLENTY of money for her and their son to live on, and buy nice things, and take vacations, and live in a huge house, and have nice cars. She is past that invisible sufficient standard of adaquate living by quite a bit which I think is great but just because he is continually making more doesn't mean he has to share more with her.

I don't know how it works in the US but here child support is legally meant to be 15% of the non-resident parent's net wages, minus so many sevenths depending on how many nights a week the child stays with that person. So in my mind yes, she should be getting more - 15% of his salary to be precise.

It may not be right that the ex gets wealthier just because he does, but certainly, his child should benefit from the parent's good fortune. If he doesn't want his ex to benefit as well, then he could always ask for sole custody or ask to be able to hire an auditor to make sure the money goes to the child.

Perhaps, at this point the Father could put money in a college fund, or other savings for when the child is grown and needs help starting his life on his own.

I can understand not wanting to give your ex more money, especially if you think it's not being used for the best interests of the child. Mom goes out every night, or she has 4 new cars, or she wears diamonds and furs while the child has just the basics, for example. But the child does deserve to benefit from his fathers success.

i dont think she should get anymore, just because 50 is earning more money now, good on him, his a good rapper, he deserves it, i mean, she gets $25.000 a month from him, thats enough for her and the kid to live on, she thinks it nnot enough probably because she wants to go out to the jewelry shop and buy $10.000 dollar rings

It's child support not spouseal support, and they were never married.She should get half of what it takes to take care of a child. And the child gets what his father give him in his own discrestion. No matter how much one party makes, both should held finachaly reponsibe.

firstly 50 needs to get custodial rites to his son seeing that all his mother wants is money.He already bought her a house , and they are not together.25,000 his a lot of money for her rite due to circumstances like greed she is not spendn al of it on the child. SO 50 SHANIQUA is coming after you with vengance so do the rite thing, because she not your wife and neva will be.

I think that his ex needs to get a job.Its a pitty that these woman have children before they have a husband.if she had been married she would have gotten half of what he had,but she decided to lay up and have children and think that it was enough security....WRONG!All it gets you is a little chump change.Smarten up sistas!!!!!

Some really greedy ho's make it look bad for us women. My cheap ass ex husband gives me crap for c/s cuz eventho he has to keep the family plan health insurance, for my son and his daughters health expenses, he cheaps out on the c/s cuz he has me on the insurance. eventho it doesnt cost him anything extra to have me on it since he's got the family plan anyway. But he in his ignorant mind feels that since he insures me,eventho it costs him $0, he is doing me a favor by keeping me on his insurance, so i should do the same and give him a discount on his c/s. PS My son is 13, he hasnt seen him in 5 yrs, I am living on a disability salary w/5 herniated discs w/pinched nerves, and when I got hurt lost my home and have been moving every 2-3 yrs when landlords raise rent and I cant afford it anymore. I would take him to court, except I need to keep the health insurance due to all the medical problems that plague me. pps Told him I needed more money in march when i went into the hospital for thyroid cancer, and eventho he is retired, getting a pension, working a job for "something to do",his words, not mine, has 2 roomers who pay his 600 dollar a month mtge and all his utilities, still wouldnt give me more every month. When I see this chick getting 25 grand a month, it makes me sick!!!!!!! LadyDi
