I know this is a 3 year old thread. I can say this because I've been there, you pay child support because it is both a financial and MORAL obligation (to your children at the very least).
Ok, I know the law.Yes, they are used to a lifestyle and so on, but she is not working at McDonalds and I don't run a mega company. I actually make much less now, being a single father. There are school meeting and day to day stuff that takes time away from my job. I pay half the amount of child support then if I just had every other weekend, but I lose way more money.I also pay 70 percent of extra stuff that comes up. Why should anyone pay child support if there living with both parties??
Because they're your children. My kids, my wife and I lived in the same house. If my kids needed something i bought it for them.
Too bad the child had to deal with the adverse childhood experience of divorced parents. All too common, full of finger pointing from the failed parents with minimal accountability.
Because you were likely the bread winner prior to your divorce. And, it is highly likely that you are lying about your current income as most divorcees do.
What the heck is this BS? It's highly likely that he's lying about his income? Based on what information do you have that this guy is lying? Basing it on your feelings? Are you jaded against divorced dads? What's your problem?
No, basing it on the fact that the OP is an illiterate moron. As a result, he is not believable in any way.
"There are school meeting and day to day stuff that takes time . . ." ?!?
"I pay half the amount of child support then if I . . ." ?!?
"Why should anyone pay child support if there living with both parties??" ?!?

OP sucks at typing = he must be a liar. Great logic.

But it's not the moral obligation of the other parent to pay child support?

Does the alimony/child support money go to the kids or to the ex wife? Does the wife have to show how the money was spent and that it went directly to the child?
A good friend of mine got divorced. His wife bought a nice sports car, started traveling all around (2 things she never had interest in while married) then had the kids go to very expensive colleges (my friend didnt have to pay for this as the price of tuition was stipulated in the divorce papers).
