Another friend got 2 kids. His take home pay slightly higher than yours.
The ex wife demanded too much: the whole flat (which she paid $0), $1k maintainance + $1k each per kid.
Judge also settled for no maintainence + $600 per kid
Is $1.5k per kid a month reasonable? That depends on your family income level and lifestyle during marriage.
For someone with $2k household income, $600 per kid may not be reasonable.
For someone with at least $6k income, $1.5k per kid is probably reasonable.
Dont just follow what your lawyer says. You engage lawyer to fight case for you, not to surrender in court for you.
Find another lawyer.
