Nope, wrong again. There are GUIDELINES that show roughly how much a child costs per month in connection with what the combined income of the parents are.
You bottom statement was true. The point of the OP was, the non custodial that pays support gets to deduct that support while the custodial does not get to deduct the financial obligation of the same child.
