To the LBH's- what will it take to wake him up to that fact? I left him, and he gladly helped me out the door...

Uhh, well, here's British Columbia's child support estimator:

My guess is that wherever you are, there is a similar page which you can direct your husband to for reference. Plug both of yourselves in there. If you are splitting 50/50 then you should add and divide by 2, and he should contribute the difference based upon the income disparity.

If he balks at this, it's a 5 minute trip down to your local enforcement office. I've been to mine, and it has shaken my wife up quite a bit.
