No, I did not agree to this. The judge has a history of doing this - grossly favoring the wife. In some ways I got off lucky. One guy I know went thru the same thing with the same judge, and was ordered to pay $5400 to his wife, despite only making $3400 a month. He had to get a 2nd full time job. He said the judge said that "it is not my problem". Btw, his wife did not work, and was not ordered to. Nice, huh?

This has added greatly to my stress this year. How do I do things with the kids on that, and feed them, buy gas, etc.

It is very hard to not get angry and frustrated with these conditions imposed upon me.
