She is paying for him to go to private classes on weekends to further his education and prepare him for college entrance exams. Do you think this is easy on one income with no help from the father? Why don't you help her out financially if you are so concerned for her?

International CS cases are managed under treatises. It all depends on whether your country has a CS treaty agreement with China or not. Why are you getting involved in a private matter between the child's mother and father? My advice would be to butt out!

I do help her some (remember we aren't even married yet and have been dating less than a year) but I don't help her to the degree her son's own father should help and is legally obligated to. I also have a daughter of my own I'm supporting. I should point out, it's not like she and her son are starving or anything. But without the father's child support money they haven't been able to have have the kind of life they could have had all these years.

And more importantly, CS is for the children, not money to improve a mother's lifestyle.

Being single doesn't come with the same advantages of whole families, nor should the government guarantee a lifestyle for anyone regardless of gender or financial status. It's her Idea to send her kid to MIT, let her pay for it, else there's plenty of affordable colleges within her budget!!!!!!!! |
