It’s about time

The_Real_Raw_Gary · 2020-09-22T23:23:40+00:00

As a single dad who is about to get child support finally from my sons mom if you’re using the money to support your kid then there’s no issue.

But I am curious how this works. Like buying clothes for them and other things. I don’t know how it would differentiate me buying a bunch of clothes from like Walmart from someone buying a tv or a video game or something or even adult clothes.

If anyone knows how this would work I’d be genuinely interested. Thanks!

Pippin_LaFlow · 2020-09-22T22:42:05+00:00

I hope this is true 😂

willes6 · 2020-09-22T23:41:20+00:00

God I hope this is true. My ex-wife has bought a motorcycle and maybe $2000 worth of tattoos, but my daughter comes to me for clothes/school supplies and is always hungry when I pick her up.

Strong229 · 2020-09-22T23:14:28+00:00

Finally this glitch is being patched

egyptian_samsquanch · 2020-09-22T23:25:22+00:00

Man, I feel like this should’ve been done a long time ago.

PlankyTG · 2020-09-22T22:33:17+00:00

Where’s this scene from?

BorgClanZulu · 2020-09-22T22:28:12+00:00

Love this - can we do a welfare one next?

ChrisCrossbow · 2020-09-22T22:31:00+00:00

They're still gonna get traded for menthols and weed. We have to work on getting rid of those cards entirely.

l00pee · 2020-09-22T23:20:05+00:00

I receive child support and I'm a dad. I don't need child support, I make over 6 figures a year, but the judge really, really, really, did not like my ex. I use it at the ATM, then use that cash to purchase medical cannabis. Purposely. Please don't take away my pettiness.

imanapplelady · 2020-09-23T00:46:09+00:00

It will never happen. Child support is for household costs, food, clothes etc. No you shouldn't be allowed to get your hair done with it unless its back support. Its not like a parent can say "support wasn't paid so I cant cover football camp." No they pay it and maybe get the support later. From a parent who receives no support and my husband has custody and she's in arrears 48k. If we ever get that money I will spend it however I please

Shoose · 2020-09-23T01:08:32+00:00

THis is fake af man. Money is meant to reimburse the parent with care anyway for rent/food/living costs, so it doesn't work out like "hur der, you can only spend it on school supplies".

This isn't PPD, its swings both ways.

Shine_435 · 2020-09-22T23:01:21+00:00

Is that an ifunny watermark

ConnectHurry · 2020-09-22T23:17:16+00:00

Thank God, it's about time people started getting kids for something other than personal benefits

fajita0 · 2020-09-23T01:03:14+00:00

This is already a thing in Oklahoma

SoupCanNort · 2020-09-23T01:43:38+00:00

I've been raising my son solo for over 2 years...RARELY get a penny from the ex-wife in child support. Does the court do anything about that? Fuck no.

sarakroiter · 2020-09-22T23:37:44+00:00

I know my dad, who didn’t work and also didn’t have majority custody of us, was paid child support by my mum, who works full time and had majority custody. He then used the money to buy the latest Apple products while all three kids had to sleep in one room so I’m on board with this

thisplacesucks_ · 2020-09-23T00:25:52+00:00

As a man that pays child support. The money isn't for the child. Its to pay back the mother what she spent on the child. Its not everyone's fault you live in a fucked up state.

The_New_Blood · 2020-09-22T23:34:11+00:00

I'm sure it's not just for mothers.

TylerDurdenUMD · 2020-09-22T23:47:52+00:00

Minnesota tried doing this and the feds said they couldn’t “tell people how to spend their money”.

Snack_on_my_Flapjack · 2020-09-23T00:29:07+00:00

Now they need to make one of these for the pentagon!

AM1492 · 2020-09-23T01:00:21+00:00

I give my sons mom prepaid Visa cards instead of cash because 100% of it goes to her weed habit. Almost everything he has I bought.

BlueSkyDems · 2020-09-23T01:15:17+00:00

wow this is lame

soloska · 2020-09-23T01:20:11+00:00

Simple solution: Don’t have kids

HoldThePao · 2020-09-23T01:20:23+00:00

All the fucking morons feeling vindicated by this have no idea how moneys works.

Mythicat · 2020-09-23T01:41:50+00:00

Fun fact. This is actually the case in some areas of Australia as a trial for welfare recipients to prevent them from buying drug/alcohol so that they can pay bills and other things.

autocommenter_bot · 2020-09-23T02:15:50+00:00

youse are fucking idiots. welfare cards suck and hurt people, in real life, empirically.

Sorry reality doesn't align with your shitty internet boys club.

imanapplelady · 2020-09-23T03:24:56+00:00

And if it were paid on time it would go to their needs. But stepmama has been handling that for years. Her little $50 a month shes supposed to pay per child isn't even enough to cover school lunches. Let alone the rest of the things they need monthly. I dropped $200 on cross country fees last week. That's one child's fees and gear. She chooses to not work and the original order was high because the judge said they would adjust it when she got a job. That took 3 years. Even if she paid $800 a month it would barely touch 1/2 of what is spent on raising her children. Phones, car insurance, and wifi would almost eat all of it. If your child's other parent isn't caring for your child, by all means, be mad and ask a judge for an itemized statement. If they have a home, clothing and food, the rest is none of your business.

bsga22 · 2020-09-22T23:38:47+00:00

I wish this was real, I was talking about this over a decade ago.

thndrstrk · 2020-09-22T23:50:59+00:00

Doubt this is real

amjel · 2020-09-22T23:53:49+00:00

Okay, but devil's advocate... Just use different money for the other shit.

safely_beyond_redemp · 2020-09-23T00:49:02+00:00

It's all fun and games until your ex gets addicted to meth and you are the one paying for her habit at the expense of your kids.

SecretIdentity012361 · 2020-09-23T01:41:00+00:00

The only people saying this is stupid are the women who are currently sitting in some bar with a guy they barely know on their thousand dollar cell phones that was funded by their kids father that was supposed to go towards some new clothes and school supplies..

God I hope this turns out to be true. Because it really needs to be.

SecretIdentity012361 · 2020-09-23T02:22:54+00:00

So lemme get this straight..To all the people who are hating on this, you're telling us you're perfectly ok with your childs mother spending half of your paycheck you just sent to her on everything else BUT your child? Are you f'kin stupid?...Unless, of course, the ones bitching about it are the same women who are currently spending their child support on everything else but their child? Are you scared you're gonna have to actually buy your child new clothes? Buy your child a bed to replace the one you broke humpin' some dude on it you met at the bar last month? Are you sad you're not gonna be able to get your hair and nails done every week? Are you scared you're gonna have to sell that Benz you're driving around?....

Whether this is true or not, it's the greatest idea since sliced bread. I've been a first hand witness to this kind of bullshit. I've watched a mother buy herself a new wardrobe as her child sits in the cart in tattered clothes. I've secretly bought and paid for new shoes, socks, and other things for a child that isn't even mine because their mother is a selfish, unreliable, bitch. I've endured toxic friendships for the sake of one or more children. I'd pick up other people's children after school because their mother was at home drunk or still sleeping. And I did those things while their father is half a continent away working his absolute ass into the ground to give their mother that money that she rarely, if ever, ends up spending on his kid.

Of course a lot of my time is spent documenting such things in order to help the father gain full custody of his children when he finally comes home. Nothing better than witnessing the face of a POS mother sink to the floor when the judge tells her they're giving full custody to the father. And then watching them kick and scream as they're being detained for going berserk.

demonic_pug · 2020-09-22T23:24:21+00:00

First thoughts:

Why am I only hearing this now, from this toilet of a subreddit of all places
oh yeah, probs fake

Codenamerondo1 · 2020-09-23T00:40:21+00:00

I mean, as long as it’s managed better than the EBT limitations I’m on board.

ImportantApe8008 · 2020-09-23T00:47:50+00:00

Literally doesn’t matter. People sell and trade food stamps regularly, and those have way more restrictions than this ‘child support card’ ever could.

vikarux · 2020-09-23T00:51:36+00:00

I'm so glad I was married to a smart woman.

bumblebritches57 · 2020-09-23T01:12:01+00:00

is there any evidence this is real?

NoviceApproach · 2020-09-23T01:18:17+00:00

I have been saying this is how it should be for decades

D_bAg_Tr0LL · 2020-09-23T01:35:24+00:00

Dont believe it until it's all over the news

2020-09-23T01:57:38+00:00

Whoever owes the support gives it to person A then loads the card of the receiver.

JackdeAlltrades · 2020-09-23T02:16:29+00:00

Yeah. They have these for black people in Australia. Best part is when they refuse to buy school or college supplies because they're not essential.

LimpWibbler_ · 2020-09-23T02:17:14+00:00

My neighbor's neighbor used it for heroine. Atleast she used the food stamps for food.

OneTrueDude670 · 2020-09-23T02:18:49+00:00

Friend of mine pays out the nose on child support. Before all this covid stuff happened his ex quit her job and went on a "spiritual journey" across the United States funded by his child support money.

yeetuslefeetus1549 · 2020-09-23T02:24:10+00:00

they could return the items and ask for a cash refund or store credit.

WartOnTrevor · 2020-09-23T03:07:41+00:00

OMG. I hope this is real.

Match69 · 2020-09-22T23:38:38+00:00

That makes so much sense is surprised it hasn’t been a thing for a while

VitalNumber · 2020-09-23T00:23:02+00:00

Should be like an HSA, submit receipts for reimbursement.

SuperFamousComedian · 2020-09-23T01:26:19+00:00

I hope this is fake. All the support for this in this post is kind of a bummer.

billpecota · 2020-09-23T00:25:39+00:00

Downvoting be damned, but this post is bullshit. I am a male, and have 2 boys, well they aren't kids anymore, the youngest is 21. I never gotten any real child support at all. There is some back owed but she doesn't work. At the time tho, back in the day she got a tax refund and it came my way. I didn't spend that money directly on them. Seeing how I paid her share outta my pocket, all that is is reimbursement for the past. She even complained to child support and told her that he doesn't have to spend any of it on them. I spent more than my fair share of income on them, and decided to either save it or spend it on whatever. Let's say it takes $1500 bucks for all expenses for them in a month, i paid it all my self. Then keys say I get $ 750 at the end of the month in support. All that is is reimbursement for paying twice as much. I can spend it whatever the hell I want to. Thats just an example dollar. Just trying to give an example. I know everyone here is probably tired of all the passes they get, but I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with this statement

Hoodratshit1212 · 2020-09-23T00:14:54+00:00

This doesn’t even exist.

brockbridges540 · 2020-09-23T00:28:52+00:00

Hey, if this becomes a trend I predict massive numbers of women giving custody to the father's.

red_rover33 · 2020-09-22T23:15:45+00:00

This won't change anything. They'll just use this for their real expenses and use their money for wine.

ironadmin · 2020-09-23T02:12:35+00:00

Man fuck this sub.

The number of people that use the money as intended far outweighs the few that don’t.

This reeks of the “welfare queen” dog whistle and forcing people on assistance to use food stamps which is fucking dehumanizing.

GabePip · 2020-09-23T00:14:10+00:00

Is that an ifunny watermark poorly cropped out?!?! Unbelievable

xlem1 · 2020-09-22T23:31:38+00:00

This kinda shit does not work and actively hurt the welfare system.

UltraCynar · 2020-09-23T00:11:04+00:00

Pro tip to Americans. Treating your poor like criminals with these judgement cards(this is fake but people want it to be real here for some reason) makes it harder for them to improve their quality of life and obtain employment. People on assistance have better outcomes when treated with respect and trust by just allowing them to have the cash without strings. This in turn saves money as well by removing costs for these judgemental programs which can go into skills development instead.

FancyMyChurchPants · 2020-09-23T00:08:25+00:00

This is bullshit. I only ever get back child support which is owed to me. Meaning I have already spent the money on my child and the deadbeat only ever makes involuntary payments. This means the money is mine and I do what I please with it.

fleeb_wrap · 2020-09-23T02:00:39+00:00

This post is dumb af. And what’s worse, all the comments pointing out why it’s dumb are at the bottom.

Y’all have a heck of a sub here.

2020-09-22T23:36:02+00:00

Muahahahahahaha!

TheAmericanBanter · 2020-09-23T00:27:07+00:00

Where I am from, the workaround is that these get sold for half their worth (or less) in cash.

MuayThaiYogi · 2020-09-23T00:45:56+00:00

I too hope this is indeed true. And, it is about fucking time.

murphywithane · 2020-09-23T02:14:16+00:00

Food, clothing, diapers, medicine, doctor bills, day care bills, and toys should be the only thing allowed to be purchased. Can't tell you how many times I saw people use it to buy cigs and beer when I worked as a cashier..

notkhaldrogo · 2020-09-22T23:28:50+00:00

Do you guys actually raise children? Like, kids have needs outside of food and shelter. Plus I have never seen an actual person spending child support on dumb things.

I guess I'm just poor.

zodar · 2020-09-23T01:12:43+00:00

iShrugs · 2020-09-22T23:49:22+00:00

The lack of love so many parents have for their children is fucking appalling. They're often their sole source of guidance in life and results in precious angels growing up to be trash just like their parents. We need a cultural, political, and spiritual revolution in our country, if not globally. This dumpster fire of a species we are can't be allowed to continue in this style.

CurlyHairJosuke · 2020-09-22T23:20:12+00:00

And I doubt a lot of them are smart enough to just resell stuff they buy lol

jakethedumbmistake · 2020-09-23T00:03:19+00:00

The first time, now it’s sickening.

Forest-Temple · 2020-09-23T00:22:47+00:00

I wish this were real. This is how all welfare should be paid out. With a card that only works at grocery stores,.clothing stores, and rent.
