I paid 432,000 to raise my son in Massachusetts via Child Support. He didn’t go to college or it would’ve continued plus half of the tuition. He’s a construction contractor now at 26.
Massachusetts has been out of control for a long time.
Of course it doesn’t help that the Feds pay the state for every dollar they can collect in child support. Quite the incentive to make it as high as is legal and they do.
Work and do it honestly; you pay $500k. Game the system and the state pays $500k when foster care, food allowances, rent allowances, nose ring allowances (okay I made that one up) are added into the total.
I guess everyone knows how the momma will say they don't know who the baby daddy is then give the kid to grandma to take care of so she gets $$$ to take care of and supposedly raise the kid with everyone living in the same house but using different mailing addresses. Total scam. The state knows about it and even encourages it.
