Are the underlined parts grammatical?
Hi!
Are the underlined parts grammatical?
Since she has better education and she has always had better-paid job than her ex-husband, she believes that the ex-husband must participate in supporting their children to the lesser degree than she does, namely, 35%.
Thanks

It should be "to a lesser degree". Also, it should be " a better-paid job" or "better-paid job s ". I would also write " a better education", though this one might be more debatable.
