I agree with the Assassin theory.

In the end really, they all make as much money as plot demands. About the only time even close to a shortage of money has come up was when Marigold bought Momo's new chassis, and Marten bought the 8 string guitar. Despite having multiple jobs Dale lives pretty cushy, supporting his mom, living alone and able to afford anime and high end tech toys. And he has enough free time to play WoW and keep up with Marigold, who seems to spend a lot of time in the game.

As far as Mrs A goes, it's quite possible, even likely that her the house was part of the divorce settlement. The same with medical coverage for their kids, either for insurance or out of pocket. Being as how the divorce was Mr A's fault (caught cheating), a judge is more likely to side with Mrs A and give her the lion's share of what the split is, especially if she was made primary or sole caregiver of one or both children.

AprilArcus:
I don't think that's how divorce law works. In general two partners keep whatever was theirs going into a marriage and evenly divide whatever they accrued while married. Child support is then awarded after custody has been determined. If they bought the house while married, it was equally theirs, and Claire's mom likely had to buy her ex husband out of his share, or agreed to keep him on as a silent partner for the sake of Claire and Clinton's stability.

I am sort of confused by this whole line of speculation. Do we have any reason to believe that she doesn't work a relatively high-income job herself?

ReindeerFlotilla:
As a self employed person, I can say getting by ain't easy. But QC wouldn't be the first bit of fiction to gloss over the difficulty of making ends meet and getting enough to eat. I don't what costs are like In Northampton, but I'm guessing things aren't quite at a Friends-level of make believe.

I doubt it would be too difficult for a professional adult to make a decent living in Northampton. It's not like there's a recession on.

Is it cold in here?:
Health insurance is more readily available and covers more in the QC universe than in ours. For example, The Pugnacious Peach has insurance coverage for her glasses while working at a skilled but low-end job. (Wait, am I right about that?)

Clinton's hand could easily have been covered by accident insurance.

Claire's transition: don't all the gatekeepers need to get paid before treatment can start?

The fact that we haven't heard about Clairemom's job is (weak!) evidence that she doesn't have an interesting one.

Division of assets in a divorce depends critically on variations from one state's law to the next.
