[quote:rinks361 35248060:MV8xNjU0MTQ3XzM2Mzg0NjY1XzREMTRFQUNB] I just started paying $375 a month in child support, even though the mother and I are still together, just not married. I'm forced to pay support, even though I've been taking care of our daughter since she was born. We were both surprised that we had to go to a child support hearing, as she never filed for support. We did file for welfare so we could cover our daughter with the needed health care required as she is ineligible for health insurance at her job and my insurance costs $375 a month at my job, which is very unaffordable with having a car note, insurance, rent, food and utility bills on a monthly basis. Apparently since we weren't listed as living together before the child support order went in, the state went after me for support. This wouldn't be too bad, as the mother returns the money to me so I can afford a place to live. What is total, utter bullshit is it costs me $120 to ensure my daughter has enough formula, diapers and personal effects to last her a whole month. Why the government feels I have to pay $375 a month (plus have their share of that for themselves of course) is beyond me. We tried to fight it in the child support hearing but were told there was nothing we could do and since we didn't inform whoever the hell we are supposed to inform that we are living together, the support order had to go through (even though she didn't process anything through on her PC yet, considering we just gave her our pay stub information). Now we are going to try to appeal to the court and see if we can have it cancelled or at least lowered. We don't like it that the state forces this on parents who are equally raising their children just so they can take even more from us. :redface: [/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.
