How do you figure 2 kids from a prior marriage into a child support equation?

18-20% is the usually percentage for the 1st child with 8% additional for each additional child - if he has custody of his teens they won't factor into how much support you will receive

My husband pays out 39% of his income for 3

I was kinda in the same situation you are. I had a hard time knowing the person i wanted to be with didn't want to be with me. I waited for a yr and now we are finally together. Read here https://tr.im/BK6eP

If i where you i would just leave her alone. Maybe contact her a couple days a week just to see how she's doing i mean 3 years you have to care about her and i know you miss talking to her. Let her see what you really meant to her. If she misses you she WILL find a way to contact you, And in doing that it will show you how much she really cares by calling you just to see why you have called her as much.

Being a girl myself as long as you chase her the more she is going to run. She told you she didn't know what she wanted. so in other words she needs time, so give her what she wants give her that space she asked for. Show her you care by giving her that. If it is meant to be she will come back to you. Everything happens for a reason. I know all this is hard to do but it does work it worked in my situation. Im glad i did all this. Besides doing all this will show you if it IS meant to be or not. Good luck and i hope everything works out the way you want it to, and if not then i wish you the best of luck starting something new

I think it's very sad that your main focus right now, enogh to come on here and ask a question about it, is how much child support you can "get out of your husband". How about focusing on how YOU are going to support your kids after YOU make the choice to leave and then what he is forced to be will be a nice addition for your kids? Crazy concept I know...

But yes the two he already has (which is a show of his character in my opinion) do factor into how much you get rewarded for divorcing him....

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/bKEMp

Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.

The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.

Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.
