are you happy paying it for your child? or do you see it as a burden?

it must have been a burden for my sons dad...my son is 19 and I have never seen 1 penny...

Oh man! What I wouldn't give to have a kid out there. I was raised with a good example of a father. Fate just dictated that I got no kids....ironically, I am the babysitter of choice around here.

The kids love learning art....plus the girls love that they can braid what ever they want into my hair...it works out smashingly!

Whooot whoot, state takes it automatically out of my paycheck, never an issue with me being late or not enough. If she doesn't get it, she can talk to the state.
No, not a burden, I am fortunate in that I have a decent job, pays well.

i think that it is a burdon for my baby's daddy

When I originally put child support on my daughters father, I had to do through the state, and he took check stubs up there where he had missed some days at work. So for 3 years I got $170 a month, and daycare alone was over $500, go figure.... So, about 7 years ago, when I began working for this attorney, he got a partner of his in his law firm to take on my case and took it away from the state. We found out that he makes over $70,000.00 a year +, and now my daughters child support is garnished from his check and mailed directly to my house. At first he was suppose to send it to me directly, and when he didnt, we took him back to court, and the judge put him in jail until he came up with all that he was in arrears, but now I dont have to worry about it. Some people are so stupid, with my daughter being his first child, in our state, at the time, she was intitled to 14% of his adjusted gross income, and she will receive it until she is out of college, not 18 or 21. My attorney put it in our papers, as long as she is in school, he pays. Why would you not want to take care of your child??? Makes no sense to me, but I had to make him, and he chooses not to see her either, something he has to live with each day, not me.

im sure its a burdan on my son dad, besides that he has 6 kids total, so of course hes in debt on paying, he should had thought more......

He should have practiced birth control.....not saying that in a mean way honey....but, birth control is every bit as much a man's responsibility as it is a woman's.

I have my support payment taken from my paycheck. I also believe that there must be a set amount of the support money to go into a fund for the Childs future.

I need to add that I don't see it as a burden.

I pay a lot more than some people having two children.I have two as well. And they pay half of the amount I do. And they make a bit more than I do.%25 more if not more.
