filing child support

It's been six months of our separations, and I've just finally filed for child support because last he had told me he will not give me as much of support personally anymore since I don't want to take him back..And he starting to receive letters from it, and he is freaking out about it..he don't want me to do it because he's afraid he will be taking out a lot of his income for the support and he doesn't think it's fair. I don't want him to suffer either, but right now I'm in a situation where i need as much as i can get help to make it with my children..He thinks i just want his money for my necisities personally..He doesn't believe or understand that it is for the children not for me...How will i make him stop making me feel bad about it..

stop talking to him if he starts giving you a hard time. Hang up the phone, tell him to leave. shut off the computer, don't respond to e-mails - however he communicates with you on it, ignore it.

Tell him if he doesn't understand the child support process then he needs to consult an attorney.

You don't decide on how much you get for child support. The courts decide that and they have formulas that they use. No guilt on your part because it's not your decision. If you (your children) don't need the support, it won't be awarded.

Now, how to make him understand that?? I don't know... swift kick to the head?
