Women abusing the court system, being deadbeat and lazy, and milking
men for money is indeed a problem and I'm glad you pointed it out, but
those problems should be dealt with on a case by case basis and not
solved with a blanket argument that child support is inherently wrong
and should be abandoned.

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

In spite of the fact that it IS inherently wrong and should be abandoned?

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

Just because some people get screwed by
excessive credit card interest rates doesn't mean credit card fees in
general should be outlawed. In that case credit card companies would
go out of business and everybody would lose. If child support was
taken away like that more children would lose than gain.

****************
PROVE it!
**************

You keep pointing out the mental vs monetary needs of children. I
don't believe divorce hurts kids. I think BAD MARRIAGES hurt kids.
There is a big difference. Most kids are already suffering from a bad
marriage and divorce is just the end result of a bad marriage.

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

Therefore, most kids do NOT suffer from a bad divorce.

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

The
court allows divorce because, well, a government that forces two
people to stay together is not a free country is it?

*********************
A country that forces a covenant marriage IS a free country.

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

I'm all for
preaching that money can't buy happiness and that a child's mental
needs are first and foremost but what does that have to do with
collecting child support money from fathers so children can have
better financial situations?

Did I say she was whining and expecting government handouts and
guaranteees? Where in any of my messages did I say anything about she
or I expecting her life to have been a perfect "Leave it to Beaver"
family life all this time?

The whole purpose of my original post was a simple question concerning
a deadbeat father who hadn't paid his child support.

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

And if this "deadbeat" escapes such oppression, MORE power to him!
[For what it's worth, sad day indeed when a man has to take sanctuary in
CHINA (of all places) to escape oppression in AmeriKa.]

Not to mention, he would be a great source of money for her first children
as well; since "child support" can be spent ANY way she deems fit. But then
again, he would be HAPPY to pay since he advocates "child support"!

Sorry, but I do not agree with women just because I am a woman...
I also don't disagree with men, just because I am a woman.

So, your girlfriend who decided to divorce this guy did this knowing
that her lifestyle and that of her son would be reduced...Why exactly
is it that you are not looking at her decision as a contributing
factor
to not be able to give her child everything she wanted to begin with

Nobody in an intact marriage is entitled to anything...the only
thing those kids are entitled to is food/clothing/shelter...and
shelter
is up to the parents...as well as clothing...If your girlfriend thinks
that it's up to her ex to give their son all the extras, then that's
her problem...She probably divorced him because he didn't overspend
and she wanted more and more money, as so many women do...
Then when they divorce they use the poor child excuse to attempt
to live the life they believe they are entitled to.

And I don't want to hear the "child is entitled to a certain
lifestyle",
the child is actally ENTITLED to live with both their father and
mother,
and in this situation, it was the mother who took that away from him.
Seems that it's ok for her to take his right to be with both his
father and mother away, but feels cheated when the father
takes away the "lifestyle" she expects for her son.

By the way, good for you for paying child support and being
so concerned about your children's "monetary" lifestyle...

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

His post made NO indication that he was concerned about his children's
lifestyle. And why the compliment for him merely doing what he is LEGALLY
REQUIRED to do?
[My question is based upon the premise that we are using the classic
definition of "child support".]

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

You should've been more concerned about their "mental"
well-being before deciding to divorce their mother...

For the record, NCP is code for "father".

Oh, I believe there is EVERYTHING wrong with "child support". And so would
the government people if they were consistent in their position.
