$5000 is plenty

I think that the woman should not have the control of the money at all. It is the CHILDRENS money. No child needs $28,000 a month. He should pay alimony to her and on top of that should pay child support, that way the woman can do whatever she wants with the alimony and the children can be taken care of with the child support. Child support should not be used as a ploy to get back at an ex spouse but used for the care of the children. However, alimony is made for getting back at the ex spouse who couldnt keep it in their pants!!

If she's using the money for herself, hell yes it should be cut. It isn't for HER. And it isn't for a kid NOT his. Now, I wouldn't begrudge the kid not mine something here and there out of it, but his/her OWN dad should be supporting the kid.
$5,000 a month = 60,000 a yr. That's a middle-class income all by itself and should be more than enough to cover a roof and necessities for the kids...and then some. Maybe she'll have to move to a nice, smaller house with the kids rather than the mega condo/mansion she could afford before....but boo hoo.
She'll still be ahead of the vast majority of people who WORK for what little they do have. Or can't work and have to get by on disability/etc, which is about $8,000 a year.
So WHAT if he's a cheat??? It means he made a mistake. It may even mean he's not a nice guy, but that doesn't somehow make it acceptable to rape his wallet for $300,000 + a year to cover her lipo and boob job and a kid that should be being taken care of by their OWN dad.

I think 5,000 is a very reasonable amount to get in child support- there's tons of women who don't even get 1,000 a month. teah he's a loser for being a cheater but you can't get paid for that, if you could so manywomen and men would be rich. The other question is was she doing what he said she was doing with the money? if so that's probably why the court did that

Come on lady, you could support 4kids with 5000
a month and they would be well taken care of,and
further more did not the judge supposedly lower
the support due to the mother not using all the
money on the kids. Sounds to me like the mother
was just worried on how much money she could
get and not what really was needed to take care
of the children, as she used part of the support
on other things.

How would you spend 28000 a month on 2 kids? How did a judge expect her to do that? No, a judge will not cut support because of how it is being spent. They only use the calculation method required for that state. Someone's financial circumstances changed. Also, whether or not someone cheats does not affect support. Child support amounts are not determined to punish or reward anyone.

I think this woman should grow up and stop trying to get revenge for being cheated on. I mean honestly does she think she is even going to make a reaction come out of him if she continues to hurt him money wise. he is rich like you said. why even be greedy and ask for more. yes he cheated on her but maybe she wasnt there for him, sexual wise or emotional wise. it is not right to try to seek revenge just because she got hurt. i say you tell her to focus on these kids and making their lives happy and healthy. lets not think of getting back at the dad, for some stupid thing he did , lets focus on the kids and the future of these babies, and it doesnt mean money, it is time. time with mom and time with dad. yes i know how much it cost to raise a child (for the record i have three) but the imporant thing is love and caring for these kids. I know I dont get no where near $5000 for child support. i think if i can do it she can too. she just has to show how much she loves these kids by trying to do something for these kids, but taking this guy for all he has isnt going to make her feel good in the end. shewill be swimming in money but drowning in her own sorrow and still hurt. i say she leaves him alone and gets on with her life!

I think that the spite and vengance between the ex husband and ex wife are overshadowing the more important issue, the love, caring and well-being of the child/children. $5000.00 a month is enough to cover food, clothing, shelter, and extra curricular activities and SAVE for the future. Focus on what really matters.

If she's not using the money for her kids, then I don't blame the judge for doing so. Who cares why they got divorced? The money needs to go to the kids, not breast implants or Botox.
Nice Frenchie by the way!

5000 is MORE THAN ENOUGH to care for 2 children...Let's not be greedy. Just because he is a cheater doesnt mean he needs to take care of HER the rest of her life.

in one flash of a moment I would agree with you- 28k is alot of money for support. 5K is alot- definitely the money should be used to help support ONLY the kids but surgery and trips just for ones self- well I can appreciate why it was cut to 5K
