Go to www.childsupport.com and see if they have a child support calculator for your state. If they don't, I think www.alllaw.com does or www.findlaw.com does. See what it comes up with.
It is up to you if you want to involve the courts or not. If he will voluntarily pay you what he should or what you feel is fair or whatever, like if you think 200 per child is ok, then go ahead and accept it. If not, you do have the option of hiring an attorney to help file for child support or goint through CSEA (Child Support Enforcement Agency). They will help get you a court order for child support and will enforce the order. Ultimately it is up to you.

no,I don't. My husband tells me that back in 1975 his father was paying 250 per child(they are 2 brothers).he thinks was he offers is an insult. Do you think he's right?
MY ex lives in TX now and wants to see the kids. I don't have a problem with that but I think everything should be according to what a judge rules. I don't trust him. What if he stops sending money whenever? there's nothing signed. Would a judge think I am being wrong by wanting more for the girls. Is my husband wrong? Should I just say to my ex" let's just go to court and resolve this there?

You sound a bit too nice!!! It's a good thing for your ex, but what about for your kids? He helped created them too so why should they suffer because he didn't want to pay, ya know what I mean. You need to go to your local Office of Support Enforcement (or whatever it's called where you are) and have them help you. They will set up an amount based upon both of your incomes. They track the payments for you. This way he won't be able to come back on you and say lies. I don't know him to say they he would but people do strang things when it comes to money. This money is for your kids to live on. Sure, you can accept his offer for now, Verbally only. Do not do anything in writing unless you have legal aid. Don't be a sucker.
You've gone this long without his money. What's it gonna hurt to do it the legal way. This doesn't mean you need to go get a lawyer, yet. Go thru Legal Aid or thru the local child support office.
Good luck! Hope you can work it out fairly for the kids sake.
