Tayken: I disagree, now that I had to apply for subsidized Daycare because the ex wont pay. So the way I see it is, you the taxpayer will pay instead of the parent, that doesn't make sense to me.
I do agree that no parent should be living off child support and should be supporting themselves, but imo it makes a difference to the children. I for one would love to feed my kids a better diet, and have them participate in after school programs. And yes the $800.00 a month owed to them each month, would do that.
Or better yet, mandate the 50/50 custody/access, so each parents supports the children equally, both financially and emotionally. I for one would gladly give up any CS I may get through the courts then FRO, and let the other parent financially support the children 50% of the time. I've done the Math, I would be better off financially, if it was split.
Rockscan: I hope that by having a Dad that didnt pay support hasnt soured or hurt your relationship with him. But I feel for your Mom.
