GreenEyedLady Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 OMFG!!! Why all the hating going on?! Any of you going to be paying her child support?! Get over it all ready!!! Child support is awarded to the mother to support her child...That means shelter, food, clothing, medical etc... And now we're saying it's bad to finish school? I have 2 master's degrees. I did it on my own. And I am damn proud of it...I have 2 children. It can be done. And the father HAS to pay...a court will order it...They follow the law, not people's sense of justice...

And the father HAS to pay...a court will order it...They follow the law, not people's sense of justice... My mother had three kids as a single parent and did it (she got 2 masters with three kids as a single parent)! And you know what, all three of her kids have masters degrees right now to (one has 2 masters). And i was fortunate that my father paid three times the child support he was ordered to in order to make sure we could do what we needed to do in terms of our education.

Tomcat33 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Seriously, some comments brought about in this thread are absolutely disgusting, balanced adults quibbling about whether a man should or should not financially supporting his child and why the mother needs the support. Some are even hyper analizing the reasons why the mother needs support!?!? How about "because it is the half decent thing to do, considering that a man made a child and completely decided to skip out on its life" If that is not a good enough reason there is no better reason. And to think these are the "model citizens" people turn to in hopes of getting advice on their problems... GOD help us all! Link to post Share on other sites

And to think these are the "model citizens" people turn to in hopes of getting advice on their problems... GOD help us all! Very good point! No matter how many people might argue it, facts are facts. A child is entitled to support from his/her father just as much as they are from his/her mother. Forget the fact that the guy isn't there emotionally. Some men live in the same house as their kids and aren't there emotionally. Obviously our justice system feels that it is important otherwise they wouldn't be taking steps at better enforcement. Licenses are suspended, tax returns are taken.... If the law has found it to be important, then that is the way it pans out here in America. Give up on the rest, but the kids are entitled to it no matter what anyone wants to think or say about it. Link to post Share on other sites
