[quote:Anonymous Coward 1001302:MV8xNjU0MTQ3XzI3MzI5NDMxX0U2OERDNUFF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1502149:MV8xNjU0MTQ3XzI3MzI5MTc3XzZENDk2Nzc0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1554261:MV8xNjU0MTQ3XzI3MzI3MDQxXzRFMUE4Qzg2] My daughter is 22. At the time I left her father she was less than a year old. He worked under the table as a painter. I signed an agreement to only collect $199.00 per month from him and continued on with my life, attending college, getting married, creating a family, etc... I gave him liberal visitation even though he never paid support. LOL, he used to tell me my husband and I made enough money, he didn't need to give us more. The state of WA caught up with him so he left the state, moved to Hawaii, just dropped out of my daughters life. He recently moved back. Still works under the table. He owes thousands because he never paid his measly $199 a month. It ticks him off most that he can't get a fishing license because of child support debt. I had to work and attend college and raise my daughter with zero assistance from her biological father, you know, the one who helped create her. You all can bitch all you want about having to help support your children and I'll tell you what, if you don't want to give their mother money then take fifty percent custody and support them that way. It sure would have been nice if her bio dad would have taken care of her half of the time while I was attending school and working. He rarely even stop by to see her. Doesn't matter now. She's doing well, we're doing well. No hard feelings. Losers will do what they do. And remember when you start bitching about how much you have to pay... childcare alone is $800.00 per month. [/quote] Your story sounds a lot like mine, although I'm still in the middle of child support hell. Mine refused to pay court-ordered medical until I took him back to court. I'll never see all I should and putting him in jail is pointless as that just stops what little does trickle in. When he runs short one month, it is child support that does not get paid because child support isn't reported to the credit bureau. He is remarried and has a new kid. He is paying private school tuition for that one and college tuition for his new wife. New cars for both (she has NEVER worked), yet he claims not to be able to afford gas to come see his daughter ($25 round trip). It will never get better because he will never grow up and act as a parent. He picks her up for photo-ops or to visit his family at holidays, but that's about it. When he needs to impress someone and play the part of the good father, then he does. But, when it comes to the hard day-to-day raising of a child, he's absent. [/quote] I can relate to both of you here. Whom you quoted and you, very much so. I just find it sad how the nickel and dime affect goes into play when the romance is over despite a life that requires responsibility on multiple levels for the proper raising of a child (by both parents, whether near or far) goes by the wayside. Raising a child isn't free and that isn't just a statement about money! [/quote]

I want to know just how bad it's gotten.
Other countries, feel free to chime in with your fucked up child support system.
