...paying child support? Why is it always about the money they have to pay to support their children? Are they really so ignorant that they do not realize how much money it takes to care for a child? I have known those who pay more for a car payment (without complaint) than they do child support and they are still complaining!
Does that irritate you as it does me?
Halfway** That is the way it should be! Good for you and way to go Dad!
CK** If the dad is making over $50,000 per year then $12,000 per year to care for his child does not sound like too much to me! Sorry.
Mrs. Cleaver** They are only going to take half of your check if you are behind in payments.......WAY behind! Usually is it less than 20% of gross for one child and upto 28% for mulitiple children. Is that too much?
That money is spent on childcare, school supplies and fees, healthcare, food, rent, utilities, clothing, etc........What on earth do people mean when they say they do not know what it is spent on? Please! REALLY!
CK** Obviously you have not been to a grocery store or taken a child to the doctors in some time. $12,000 a year will not even cover rent for a year in most areas.
Tstewart** Sorry you are going through this. My ex did not pay a nickle as he was "self employed". The self employed finally caught up to him and he paid a fortune in back child support (with interest).....so much so that he was finally threatened with jail and had a both his professional and drivers licences revolked until he began paying on a regular basis. I know the courts can be frustrating at times but you really can not give up! It is adding up on him and he WILL end up paying every penny (with interest) My ex ended up paying until our youngest was nearly 27 years old. He just prolonged his own "agony"......Hang in there!
