the real joke here is the laws
concerning child support.
NO - - most child support payments are a joke. Most are not enough to cover anything significant.
Your child - - you pay for their support.

Yeah - - cuz most men don't want the full time responsibility of raising the kids.
I do admire the few that do.
most men are NOT given the choice.
and the mother fights against it
cuz it is her intention to make
a living out of child support
and not work.
now, who's the dead beat ???
It is your own gender that has screwed you over - - by their irresponsibility and doing everything they can to deny their children.
Love the clichés - - - that the best you can do?

I fought for ALL three of my kids in court,and I have custody of them ALL.
Good for you. I know several men who have won full custody of their kids.
It still doesn't change the fact - - the number of women who receive nothing. Who are abandoned to deal with everything on their own. Which far out numbers women misusing child support.

I gross $70K a year. After medical insurance, taxes, and child support I net $400 a week. She makes $50K a year before my child support bolsters her net an additional $27K a year
So what.
It is your child.

if you have a kid and split up pay your half equaly,take income into account and parental ablity and that and that alone should decide custody i think they should just give the judge a form for each parent in a divorce hearing stating income time avilible to the child but with out revealing which is which(ie a form that dosent state gender or reveal gender) so the judge dosent even have to take the gender in to the equation its not a mother or a father just a or b i dunno just an idea sorry for the rant

Here in Canada, the payer of child support claims it as a deduction to their taxable income and the receiver pays tax on the income received.
So it balances out accordingly.
Maybe the US will catch up with the 21st century some day.

My advice to my daughters was: "You have to be One before you can be Two". In other words - know who you are - what you want - be self sufficient.
Men have told my daughters I ruined them - - because I raised them to be independent - - when I should have raised them to take care of a man. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter received a total of $27 from her sons father - - who chose drugs over his son. She met him at a Baptist summer camp. He was a great guy - - he just couldn't grow up. She was told she had a medical condition and would never be able to have a child. My miracle grandson is now an amazing 17 year old.
We came together as a family to help her raise him.
