Do you get or give child support ?

Give

I borrow others then give them back when I'm tired of them!

thank goodness!!

But I can't wait until I do!

We both earn money that goes toward the care and feeding of the children.

But no child support.

Nope

Well, I don't really get child support (like court ordered money he has to pay) but he helps out a lot and takes her out and takes care of her when I'm sick, well, if he can.

married

Once again, no none of the above .. i am divorced, and my ex does not spend one dime in child support , i take care of them just fine alone and can care less about his sorry worthless piece of donkey turd _____ (fill in blank here) anyways. I take care of them alone .

It's ok luv, after 5 years of it , just moved on and not even worried about it anymore, he has had pleny time to try to get involved and hasn't so it is on him now , i just going keep living my life. Going to school , makes it a bit harder.. but i can manage :)

No kids

But, if I had kids I would always do the responsible thing.I hate deadbeat dads!

mistake

I get it, but just barely....(Hope that answers the question)

The question was about child support. Not visitation, moral or ethical issues.

But my mom gets it from my dad sometimes.

Nope, married 47 years

Yes I do but the child support laws are so one sided. The female usually gets the most out of the deal. They usually get the Child, car, house, 1/2 the retirement, child support and yes some don't get child support but MOST DO, PLUS they get the benefits of having custody of the child, they get to enjoy the child growing, first steps, first teeth, there sickness, there health, 1st boyfriend or girlfriend, etc., teaching them to drive all the enjoyment of having children while the noncustodial, usual the male, get nothing but the bills and jail time. So all you people out there crying about not getting child support need to stop crying and look at what you have possession of "the child" compared to what you left your ex with!! Most men would keep there child without child support from the mother.

I could spend a good size of this page explaining what happened in my situation. My ex hide my daughter from me for 13 years I paid child support all the way up to the time the courts told me my daughter was dead or had been adopted and nothing more. They closed my case and told me I was done. I never stopped looking for my daughter and believe it or not I found her on Myspace now at the age of 16 (last time I seen her she was 3). My daughter and I have a great relationship but now my ex wants back child support for hiding out my daughter, home teaching her so I could not find her and many many many other thing that I have no time to mention. But needless to say my ex took me to court (my daughter is now 20 with her own child) and won all the courts could say to me was oops me made a mistake you now owe her $47,000 plus interest for 13 years WOW what did I do to deserve this and what did my wife and children (ages 2, 9, 14, 19) do to deserve sudden financial instability, what did I get out of the deal I lost everything with her all her growing up, all her sickness, teeth lost, I can go on and on. And now my family is on the verge of losing everything we have worked so hard to get our house, car, my credit, I can go on and on. I never did anything wrong but follow what the courts and child support directed me to do. And I am only one of thousands of loving fathers and the mess that we have went through.

Idk exactly how ur misfortunes came about but for them I am truly sorry! That is jacked up what state do u live in? Is ur daughter willing to testify for u? Maybe you can file for an appeal...the state of tx is pretty jacked up on this issue but most are but so are a lot of the parents! I was always worried that one day out of the blue he would show up only to piss me off cuz he was ordered to pay support bring some jealous skank who had jealousy and daddy issues bc those are the only kind of grl a man can attract who won't take care of his kids and he would use his visitation to hurt my daughter or kill her I heard rumors all over town he wanted to take my rights so he could give her up for adoption or sale her on the black market, kill her etc....and that's a lot of money for one kid! Obviously if u r takin care of ur four other kids I don't see how the gov would honestly believe u were so neglectful

Thanks but I already had my day in court :) I took his rights! A lot of stress and tears but my hubby adopted her! And we found out I was pregnant the same day! Maybe you can counter sue for emotional distress or make it a seperate case of distress all together. I think some support is owed yes but not to the point of financial distress and ruin!

No option for me. I don't ask for child support for my 2 because I am just glad my ex is involved in their lives. BUT my husbands ex wife doesn't care if he is in his kids lives or not it is ALL about the money. She is so evil. I don't understand this. So yes we pay child support.

Too Old.

Enough said

Because there still in my house and won't leave!

It was always gonna be a choice between designer label clothing, nice cars & motorbikes, freedom and holidays, sleep-ins and sufficient sex in my life...or kids...pretty easy choice for me, really!

I'm married, have a 2 year old son, and my husband and I are still together. He's an excellent provider, Father, and husband. I'm pretty lucky, I suppose. :)

Kids are grown and semi gone, LOL.

I get child support...from both my parents :)

You didn't provide a choice for Hell no. I don't get child support but raised my kids on my own, my husband died young. I couldn't collect social security for them he didn't have enough work time in.

Aw.. you sound like a very loving and caring parent :)

Of course I am, and a loving and caring Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Smart ass!

WHAT im Complimenting you....Im not a SMART ASS.

I'm sorry that I took your comment wrong, its been a rough morning, should have gotten off the computer until my mind was straight. My apology is sincere.

Thats alright :)
