He should search the old thread titled Child support standards in the DR and read my post #5
SHALENA
After reading your previous post, I wish I had read that about 9 years ago. Would have saved me a lot of money and grief. You have such a great mind Salena. Especially the part about feeding the tios, tias, abuelas. I would come home to find 9 people in the house and the 50 pound bag of rice is gone in 3 days, along with all the perishables. Oh, and the rent, I gave it to her early each month and once ran into the landlord, he cussed me out for not paying for 3 months. That's when I started paying for everything directly, everything, even her soap and vinegar.
It cannot be overemphasized how important it is to NOT give the woman anything. Just make arrangements to get direct support to the child.
