Well, I am no accountant.....but even with NO deductions she wouldn't pay a straight 28%. It is a graduated scale, she would only pay 28% on a portion of it. Please....plus won't she get to claim D16....AND D18 if she is in school? ..Not to mention mortgage interest, taxes...etc. No way she would pay 28K on 100K.

In her last email, she ended it with "as the childrens' father, I'd assume you would put their health and best interest first"
I really want to respond "don't go down that road with me"
That would be really hard for me to hold back on....in fact I am not sure I could...but it would do no good. You can't make her see things any other way.
I know you both probably want to help D18 with school....but there is nothing saying you have to go broke doing it. My parents couldn't afford it so I made do...student loans and working...and 24K sounds like A LOT for school to me...maybe she SHOULD go to a cheaper school.
Sorry FLTC I know this is hard. I didn't have to deal with the aspect of having kids but I did have to deal with being in college when my parents went through it. It is hard on your kids just as it is hard on you, but people do what they have to do....maybe D18 should have to be responsible for at least a portion of schooling??
