Damn, $150,000 a year child support in LA? For a guy with a net worth of 200 million? That's nothing. My son lives in LA and makes about that. He lives in a tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath rental in Burbank with his wife and baby. No lavish lifestyle, no security gates. Fair would be four times that. I'm with her mom. You make a child you need to support the child, and that is based on your income. His income may go down, but his child support will be adjusted when that happens. It sounds like things are temporarily settled, which is good for everyone, but I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't revisited in a year, with a substantial uptick for the new mom. His paying child support, not spousal support. That kid will be fine. And there's nothing stopping the mom from getting a job and contributing. She is getting $150k per year for simply having a baby; she should be able to figure out a way to make it work.

Isn't the mom a celebrity stylist or something? I thought that was how she met/befriended him in the first place. If that's the case, I'm sure she could do all right for herself.

They met in a club and nothing I've read said anything about who she worked with, so I'm pretty sure the stylist thing was created out of thin air.

She's getting $150,000 a year for birthing one of the biggest drawing entertainer in the world's baby. She is raising one of the wealthiest 20 something's in the world's first born son. He is not just a baby, he is an heir.
It's his kid. There are laws. I don't feel sorry for him, or envy her.

He is not just a baby, he is an heir. It's his kid. There are laws. I don't feel sorry for him, or envy her. She had sex with a wealthy guy and now gets to live in a fancy house and gets a yearly $150.000 paycheck for the next 18 years. It's not like she really achieved anything. Other people have to go to college, work hard and pay off college and mortgage debts for the rest of their lifes and do not have a yearly income of $150K. This kid will have a good life, probably attend a private school and will be well off. If her mother thinks she needs more than $14K a month to take care of a baby, she should tell her daughter to consider getting a good education, work hard and be a good role model. Leeching on to someone elses achievements and money is not exactly the best path.

And he had sex. He's very wealthy. He can afford to give his kid a nice life. Does his kid need to acheive something to deserve that money?
I don't really get the resentment toward her. They had sex, and now they have a baby to take care of. When that happens, the parent is on the hook to financially support the child and the primary care giver to some extent. Would people rather she got nothing? Are people judging her from facing one of the consequences of sex, which they believe she shouldn't be having? This lady appears to get along with Louis, and he has been spending time with the baby. This is all best case scenario.
This lady is super private. Apparently she doesn't even have social media accounts. For all we know she went to college and/or works a good job (as a stylist?). Parenting is hard work, too. We know nothing of her values or personality or anything, really. Other than she had sex with a famous person and now she has a kid.

She's not super private. She's been photographed taking the baby out of the house nearly every day since he's arrived. She has an Instagram. It was wiped clean when she announced her pregnancy before the end of her first trimester, and she has only a handful of posts on it (which, one could argue, is understandable given the attention she knew she'd receive). Yet she/her camp have been accused of falsifying photos, leaking Google image photos and photos of her cousin and passing them off as herself, and other odd behavior.
As I said earlier in this thread, I think there is a lot of weirdness with this story. Child support figures are all what her family is asking; nothing has been settled yet. I think there is more to come on this. It's not over yet.

Oh, I had seen a couple places mention that she's mostly off of social media. I guess not. Though leaving the house and having an Instagram doesn't really mean that she can't be a somewhat private person. There still doesn't appear to be much out there about her. Hopefully it stays that way and they sort things out with as little drama as possible. We shall see!

I have absolutely no idea if this is true, but I saw a mention somewhere that her family has money too, maybe not on the level of 1D money, but they're comfortable or reasonably well off. Also read that while she and Louis weren't serious, it was a bit more than a one night stand. Supposedly they were casually hooking up here and there for a few months. Again, no idea if any of that is true, but came across some comments alluding to all of this on ONTD, but I don't know or remember where they gleaned that info.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I mean that: correct me, because I truly may be wrong), but isn't child support allocated based on ensuring that the child has a similar experience at both parents' homes? I seem to recall that most of the 1D boys came from working class/middle class background, and while I really haven't kept up with their current lifestyles, isn't it possible that Louis lives in a fairly normal house and other than some toys, lives a life that isn't too different than, for example, the home he's currently renting her? I guess what I'm trying to say is that I haven't seen reports of him, say, living in a crazy castle where the kid would notice the disparity, ala, Halle Berry and her daughter/ex, and perhaps they all agree that if Louis lives in a 3-bedroom house, so too should the mom, etc. Yes, obviously he flies private and all of that, but we have no idea if he's made allowances for her travel or whatnot. I haven't seen him pimping around LA in a Bentley, so I'm inclined to believe that he may live a lower-key life than would be expected. In which case, (again, correct me if I'm wrong), his child support is in line with the egalitarianism of the households.
I mean - does a court, if one were getting a court involved, allocate child support based on net worth or based on lifestyle? I guess that's what I'm getting at and/or wondering.
