Ru$$ell: How Much Do You Love Your Kids?

They say you can never put a price on love: how's $480,000 a year sound?

TMZ has obtained documents in the Russell and Kimora Lee Simmons divorce case. The docs, filed yesterday in LA Superior Court, say the hip-hip pioneer has to shell out $20k a month -- per daughter!!! -- in child support to Kimora.

And he's got to keep doing so until 2019 for Ming Lee and 2022 for Aoki.

20. That is absurd! What is her contribution to the rearing of their children? Is he expected to bear the total cost? That seems really unfair regardless of how much he makes, how inconsequential that amount is to him, or the lifestyle they have become accustomed. If she wants her children to maintain a wealthy lifestyle then she should become wealthy. If she can’t, well then that is just too bad. At least they will have a life of privilege when they are with their father.

Our child support system sucks! It is unfair and too oppressive. Child support should be determined by the lesser earning parent. Figure out what they will realistically contribute and have the greater earner match that if they spend NO time with their kids. If they spend a quarter of the time with their kids then that amount should be half, and if physical custody is 50/50, then no child support should change hands. Parents are jointly responsible for their children, not just the parent that makes more money.

22. When a man marries arm candy and not an intellectually and financially equal partner, that's what he gets! Unless you are smart and marry for real love and find someone like The Rock did! Too bad he couldn't make that last!! He has been the only sucker-free man in Hollywood in a very long time!!!!!! They are all fools with fools gold!!!!!

23. She certainly hit the jackpot didn't she. Why is she constantly bragging about being a big shot mogul who made it on her own. Why does she need his money then?

24. TMZ, Please, please stop reportinging on these black thugs. Really it is getting old. They have obviously made their own bed. "Throwin' up money in da air! Wearin' my 5 carat diamond studs! Buyin' a 15 million dollar mansion and a 5 million dollar one for my momma to! Got me a whole staff of cooks, maids, butlerters, drivers, bodygaurds, personal assistantants, hair dresserers, makeup artists and whatnot. But I be to Goddamn stupid to think about what be layin' ahead 5 years from now when I have blown throw all of my money. NO, YOU MAKE A WHOLE LOT A MONEY, YOU LIVE A LIFETIME IN FRUGILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR FRTONE LAST YOU A LIFELINE. Not so you can burn it away like a fart in the wind. Because there is a real long way to go between 25 years old and 85 years old.

26. Well I think the same thing is going to happen with Tony Parker. He has a 150.000 million dollar fortune but when Eva finishes with him he will be left with peanuts.

30. I really don't get this. I understand if the mom is broke and the daddy is filthy rich. I firmly believe that the child should have the same lifestyle as their wealthiest parent. But Kimora has money. I have tons of Baby Phat garments to prove it. If I were him, I'd play hardball with the company that HE GAVE TO HER if she is going to play hardball with the child support.
