I can't even finish the phrase from Method Man talking about the $55,000 Kelis was awarded in child support and spousal support from Nas recently. I saw that 75 percent of that money is for spousal support and the other 25 percent is for child support.
You can search on Youtube for the NC-17 rated clip as Method Man and Redman voice their opinion on child support and spousal support.
Removing the "derogatory lines" out of straight frustration. I agree 1 million percent with the underlying message that Method Man and Redman are saying.
Long term spousal support is wrong.
My thoughts: If you were making an income, then spousal support should be a
one-time payment equal to your total earnings from the previous tax year. If you
were not making an income, then spousal support should be a one-time payment
equaled to what the richer party spent on the spouse the previous tax year.
College fund as part of child support.
My thoughts: I don't know if this is standard but it probably should be. As part
of the child support package, I would like to see men have to dedicate money to
a college fund THAT THE MOTHER CAN'T TOUCH and only the child can reclaim on
their 18th birthday. If the child should die before their 18th birthday, the
mother should then get the money or have the money split between the mother and
father.

Yanno, I am kind of ambivalent to these situations, probably because by much work, self denial and the grace of God I don't/won't have to deal with it. I posted on another blog: "In the case of baby mama’s/daddy’s, I don’t feel much sympathy if you feel you’re getting the short end of the stick, whether you’re paying too much or receiving too little. There is too much inexpenisve contraceptive that could keep you out of the situation." I would like to say as a single, child free, tax paying adult, if you make these folks pay their court fees I'd really appreciate it.
@Athena...lmao!
The only responsibility a man has is to his children. It is not his responsibility to support a woman after he has divorced her. The provision of food, clothing and shelter only applies to a wife. This is a case of man's laws trying to trump God's law and get greedy. Why is is that the child support is less than the spousal support? It's not his fault that Kelis is a one hit wonder. My bad two hit. She needs to do like any other American woman who ends up divorced...GET A JOB!!!!
@Meeka...I'm with you on that. She has no motivation to get another job or even to get married again when she's got her ex-husband giving her that much a month for "spousal support." The system is beyond broken and needs fixing.
