This is so F__king true. I was at a rental house of mine doing some maintenance and the tenants sister was over complaining about her child support as the cost of weaves and nails had gone up. Poor kid doesn't have a chance.

Many years ago, our Mom divorced our Dad in September (due, no doubt, to the influence of her "swinging single" cousin); we were three boys, and that was too much for her to handle alone, so she took us to our Dad's apartment in late October, went home, packed, wrote a note and took off to another state to move in with her cousin.
Our Dad naively thought that he no longer had to pay child support to her as he was caring for us after that, but he found out differently.
It was about the following summer that he realized, if he wished to get out of paying child support, all three of us boys had to sign affadavits stating we wished to stay with him (she was living with some other guy at the time, and we did not wish to relocate and be in that situation).
Even after that, however, she demanded all the back child support (her cousin probably put her up to that).
Our Dad had to sell the house (he was unemployed at the time) in order to give her the back 8-9 months of child support for 3 boys that he had been supporting all that time; he didn't have much left of the equity after that.
We went through some lean times after that, and she was not required to pay a dime of child support (although I don't think our Dad even asked for it).

I'm sorry to hear of that. But I give you, your brothers and your dad my utmost respect. It sounds like you have found peace with your family.

I love hearing so many social zealots say "That's soooo wrong! She should get in trouble for that!"
My only response is...Did you ever really think irresponsible single moms would have used the money properly in the first place? Cut the bullshit and stop calling it "child support" cause that's the last thing its ever going to be used for.
I watched my aunt use hers for dumb shit for herself and my ex-wife got a pretty classy apartment when I started paying my $764 a month.

Every time I see my ex, she has a new hair color, but she can't buy our son a computer with almost 3 times the national average in support every month.

I'm homeless, my ex-wife has new clothes every time I see her, but the kids don't. The kids have worn out shoes with holes in them, but she doesn't.

You're homeless and paying child support? I will shed a single, manly tear for you. Disgusting.

Child support is not predicated on ones living situation, only on income differentials and number of children.

Definitely - it helps her get the next sucker ... on your dime!

My mother was kind of crazy needed to be center of attention so she adopted lots of kids. Older ones that fell into categorys where state would have to send monthly support. Kids had medicaid paying for anything like glasses ect.
I found out afterwards not only was total household income with all that plus dads income around 12k. We grew up poor I went hungry relied heavily on school lunches I went without glasses for years (I am 20/1000 eyesight 20/20 with glasses but I can't function without) had a single pair of pants. Our car was missing shifter you had to grab cable and shift with cable. Guilted older brothers into paying the mortgage.
So where in the hell did money go she litterally gave it away. Ran a animal shelter out of house of hundreds of animals coverage most the vet bills herself because it made her the center of her social group. Gave hundreds to bums or people just having hard time just for a moments recognition.
Every day someone trys to guilt me into calling mom (its always a long time between calls). I go the FUCKING CAT ate better than me because of her and how "high priority I was" I remember one time being sick missed school a couple days no school lunch. No fucking people food in house which of course mom didn't care because she was eating out every meal with friends. I plausibly considered eating fucking cat food I thought about how one might season or grill a can of cat food to make it palletable.

Once dated a single parent mum who used to spend her child support... I mean, her daughters child support on daily Mcdonalds, makeup and clothes.
She was desperate for a 2nd child as she wanted a "family of my own" as she came from a broken shitty home, and wanted me to stay the night and have sex.
When I said I respected her and wanted to wait longer, she dumped me saying I was being controlling, and she won't let any man control when she can or can't have sex.
I dodged a bullet there as I suspect she was hoping i'd impregnant her that night.
