Deleted because you are taking the thread off topic with your personal agenda.

THIS thread is about yankeegirl getting child support from her ex, not your opinion of child support in general

It is....Really.. I am even though the ex and I have maintained a decent relationship, its a shame the the damn dirty dollar has to come between us... to support this child.
I mean, if I don`t say anything, he will be fine with taking life the way it is now...us paying his school supplies, lunch money, clothes, wants, needs, and dreams as every 11 yr old has...

Anyone can be a Dad, or at least play the role..I think being a "true Dad" has alot to do, more with money....A true Dad is someone who is there for them, 24/7, teaches them about right and wrong, you will go out of your way to see what they want,Be there for him!!!!!

Being a true dad is a very very important job. Much more important than anything else around. More important that flying to the moon, more important than what most people think when they are thinking of starting a family.

I didn't have that good of an upbringing, much chaos in my life.... I was witness to men beating my mom, her issues with men, alcohol, and general dysfunction. Its rough when your 12 and some dude is beating on your Mom, makes you look at the world in a whole another way......

I'm lucky you know why, cause I'm here, many people don't surive things. It makes you think about all of the things in life that are important.

Mrs. Chow is my best friend. She is my rock, she is my life, I love her and she has a bigger heart than most people I've ever met.

Yeah, I know, your teeth are rotting out.. LOL, Thanks for reading this...

I agree. I mean like you said in the end you can still provide well on your own for your son, but he is still supposed to do his part. I can see why you 2 divorced :-P he is basically a child himself it sounds like.

Where did I say sent directly to jail? It is usually about every three months if support is not being met depending on how soon the judge gets tired of excuses and sentences you to jail time.
My point was if her ex is the type who will not pay, he will end up in jail. One should not declare they dont want them to go to jail or pay arrears knowing it can very well be the outcome.
Hopefully, he will get the point and start making payments.
