This guy is a sucker for sure, i can here it already, "me Luv you long
time, me have babies for you, you give me plenty money!".

Maybe he doesn't understand that she takes pride in herself and doesn't want
to depend on any man for her son's well being? he's here to save the day,
what an idiot!

Pay for what exactly?

There's a difference helping to support a child's basic needs and financing
a costly lifestyle.

Okay "suffering financially" was an exaggeration on my part, I'll give
you that much. But different people have different views of what
financial success is. In my circle we are pushing our kids to work
towards getting into one of the top colleges and performing to their
full potential in an educational environment that fosters that.
Sometimes this takes money. Living in a good part of the city in a
good school district takes money. Weekend professional coaching to
help prepare our children for the SAT exam takes money. Sure, these
are luxuries but they are in the interest of the child not the
parent. If more Americans focused on the academic needs and
opportunities of their kids instead of sports and recreation and video
games we would be more competitive with the rest of the world.

But again, this post was NOT about my girlfriend whining about not
living the good life. This was not about my girlfriend wanting money
for the spa and new shoes. This was simply a post about a father who
has a LEGAL obligation that he is not fulfilling. Failing to fulfill
that LEGAL obligation impacts the environment and opportunities his
son has. Period.

***************

It does nothing of the sort! A NON-cause has a NON-effect.

***************

What is so controversial or wrong with asking a
question about that?

This is a totally stupid argument. So you're saying women owed child
support money should not try to get that money that is owed to them
legally and simply accept the consequences because they shouldn't have
gotten divorced in the first place? The decision to divorce is a
totally separate and non-related issue from the fact the father owes
money to his son.

******************

Then that'd be a first, because "child support" orders show the mother, NOT
the child, as the obligee.

********************

It doesn't matter if the money is a loan, for child
support, from a lawsuit for damanges, etc. Why does my local TV
station post the names and amounts of the top deadbeat dads in the
city?

*******************

Because the liberal media has the financial resources to do so. Oh, and they
HATE fathers too.

******************

Do you think it's not a big issue to many people?

She expects for her ex to pay what he is obligated to pay by the
courts. If that money would contribute to a better life for her child

*********************

.......... or herself,

*********************

then that's more the reason to want it. Is that so hard to
understand?

Amazing how you can read one paragraph from a person you've never met
and make such a broad assumption.

Nowhere did I say anything about the "child being entitled to a
certain lifestyle". That your fictional writing again. What the
child is ENTITLED to is what the father owes. The court says that,
not me. All I'm doing is asking a question to try to help a single
mother and her son get that entitled money.

> By the way, good for you for paying child support and being

So again, you've written a little fictional story about it being my
decision to divorce my wife and it being my girlfriend's decision to
divorce her husband even though you have zero information about either
of us or our past marital situations.
