    child support help

    I am in need of help. My wife and I split about 1 year ago and I have been paying child support. We are not divorced yet. My problem is that they set the child support amount based on each parents income , I work and she does to however I have kept them informed of my new income and she has not .She is a stripper now so she gets payed cash. What can i do ? I have no problem to pay but I think it should be just. They want me to pay for insurance for the kids but at my company it would be 150.00 a week plus child support that is over 50 percent of my income. I have a household to maintain myself. She only pays 15 dollars a month for rent because she lives in a state based housing development and has not claimed her cash job. what is a man to do ... any advice would help. thank you

    First off, you really should get a lawyer and get a divorce, where they can set the payment on what she is doing for cash income, that she will have to report what she makes.  Have you explained to her that paying all of that will be over the amount and that you persoanlly can not afford it?  Sounds like your a very good person, but yes everything needs to be fair.
