Whats your take on Child support?

Maybe people should think about that before they get knocked up.

It is a sad thing that some ex's don't think they should have to pay child support. That child's welfare is also your responsibility. That money should go towards putting a roof over their heads, clothes on their back,food in their mouths,medical expenses, school supplies, just whatever is needed to help support that child. After all, the other person did not created that child on their own. It is both partners responsibility,not just the one who has custody. Anyone who thinks other wise should be ashamed of themselves. Are you going to make your child do without just because you no longer care for their father or mother? More children have to do without just because someone wants to drop the ball and make the other person suffer. When actually it is the children who suffer. If the parent is receiving child support and just using it for their own pleasure, at least those kids will grow up and know that you did do your part.Always keep your receipts You never know when you might need them..

Your right and someone should have to account for what the money is used for. I really think that alot of people are underpaid and need ever bit of money they get. I am the mother of a son who has paid children support for over 10 years and has just a few more to go. I know he pay's $670.00 for l child when there use to be 2 but the older boy reached 18 and he still has to pay the same amount as they have told him cost of living has gone up. He pays $270.00 for another child by another woman and he and she agreed on this amount as he was already paying the $670.00. I feel that there needs to be a better system when it comes to child support and it needs to show where money is going and how much the other person is living on and what the person paying is living on. I think it needs to be more fair to both parties.

It's funny how a lot of females are blaming guys on here for making a baby. In this day, a woman can get knocked up, and have a judge make the father pay for it, while the woman sits back and enjoys welfare. The entire CS system is bullsh**. It's designed to profit the courts.

A former child support agent testifies to the corrupt system she once worked for...

first let me start by saying i wish i got some, my ex-hus. wont work a tax paying job so.....but i agree that if u are receiving a large sum, i think that the person paying should be able to use part of the $ and pay a power bill or something like that, so the primary parent don't have such a large sum, it is unrealistic to believe that everyone does exactly what they should with the $. but i think it should have some regulations and show proof of bill paying, groceries etc, to help take care of the child(ren).
