A check from the Michigan State Child Support Disbursement Unit for a whole $8.77 I mean seriously, why bother wastin the paper an the stamp? How bout the 21K he still owes in back support????



Ok, here's the premise of this thread. What's the smallest child support payment u've ever recieved? I'd really not like to see this thread turn into a bi@tch session but more of a entertainin, u gotta be kiddin me kinda thread? Alright, all u single parents, what's the smallest payment u've ever recieved? Let's see who's gonna win the prize for this one.

Nothing. Does that count

I've never missed a payment does that count.

on my... laminate it, keep it,
I got one once for 4.00 bucks, thats what I did with it, still have it.

Suz, that sucks duck butts!

Beachbum, Good on u! Wish more parents did so.


Lady, U got me beat! U've got this contest so far.

Ummm, well.. My sons dad is a Dr. and I spent my entire pregnancy on government assistance, not a penny from him, and gave birth alone.


Flowers might have been nice.. orrrr. a hallmark card.

nada...i stopped counting after $35,000...

I'm just really curious to see what's the smallest check a child support agency has ever sent out. Ya know, a why did u bother with the paper an stamp kinda thing.

Actually, I was just making a joke. No, I don't get child support but that's a choice I made. My circumstances are different than most. My ex and I share custody, one week on, one week off and we make about the same amount of money. So, he pays expenses when my son is with dad, I pay when he's with me. Out-of-the-ordinary, we split down the middle (uncovered medical, school expenses, his health insurance costs, etc.). While I do buy most of his clothes (which I'm working on his dad to kick in a little more for that), mostly, things work out pretty evenly and it our system works out well. There's little animosity and we co-parent far better now than we did when we lived together. So, it's all good.

I got a refund on something from the government (taxes, maybe?) of an overpayment for 50 cents once. I threw it away, wasn't worth the gas it would've taken to go to the bank to deposit it

Ahhhhhhhh Earthy heres some

$0

aww thanks.. good thing it wasnt that yorkshire dude, that would have been WORSE!! lol

ReddBeans spend the $8.77 on a nice big bone for your dog It will make his week after them nasty kids teasing him

I Read my horiscope one day.And it said I would be coming in to big money.Well I went to check my mail,I had a nine dollar child suport check in there.

It's good to hear some can actually co-parent so well. I wish it could be that way for all of us.

I'm just gonna cash it an give the money to Tyler. He's been wantin a new Lego kit. He can get himself one of those lil 3 in 1's.

It's not easy, and there are moments when I wonder what the hell I'm thinking. But most of the time, it's ok. My ex even lives just down the street. It makes it easier on my son to just go back and forth as he chooses. But, it is, admittedly, a little weird

My Ex GF's EX husband owes her more than 60K on back child support. I kept telling her to take his driver's license away (Through the court system) and she kept giving me this sob story how that would make him not get a job (and trust me the man is employable, he has delusions of an eBay business while mommy and daddy put him up in a house in Venice beach.) I got pissed off one night and went off on her for an hour about how she was empowering him and it was time to stop with the excuses and sick Child Services on him. One thing led to another and the new judge on the case seen her Ex Husband for what he was and Mom and Dad now are facing having to eat his responsibilities. The court flatly ordered him to get a job. His reason for not getting a real job?

Get out your tear drops and tiny violins,

"I don't like the corporate environment."


He was making over 100K a year and suddenly he wants to live the Bohemian life style in the face of his responsibilities? men like him make me want to beat on men like this and take their money from them so I don't kick their butts again!

My ex finally got a moment of satisfaction when the Judge LAMBASTED her Ex husband in court openly and told his defense attorney to either explain the gravity of the situation to his client or his client was facing not only loss of drivers license but jail time if he pissed the judge off any more. He did not want to hear any, ANY excuses. The judge gave him one year to provide proof he had a job. If not, well, he had a year. The funny thing was the judge also seen that the parents supporting him was undermining everything and it boiled down to if he doesn't get his act together the money is coming out of mom and dad's pocket because their supporting him means they accept financial responsibility for him. Needless to say men like this make it look bad for the rest of us.


Nobody like whining cry babies!

Due to a problem at FOC, they withdrew too much money from my check for a few months (I OVERPAID). So now they are sending me a check every two weeks for $40.

It's not much, but I have to admit, I enjoy cashing the check every two weeks.
