I second that!

I 100% agree with you on that. It's so great that you were able to keep it out of court. Sounds like she would stop at nothing to make you look bad!! Not cool!! The best part of your situation is that you came out the better person by FAR and are setting a great example for the kids!! I suppose THAT is what it's all about!!

The best thing about this thread is that it's made my work day fly by!!

AHHHHH I see what you are saying!! Boy... I sure am frustrating aren't I?? I was confused for a bit there! I had to go through the courts unfortunately because of my specific situation, but now I am totally picking up what you are putting down..... You should feel fortunate that you are able to do it on your own terms!!…
-
Right... I just didn't understand what you were getting at. So basically you think that I am being treated unfairly for having to be required to pay more than 1/2 the cost that they have calculated. And that no state should require more than a 50% contribution from any parent.... right??
-
I see what you are saying..... What my State does is take the joint income of BOTH parents and says that 34% of the joint income would go towards raising a child. So basically I pay 58% of that 34% calculation and he pays 48% of the 34%. I would think that it would be unfair of me to ask for 50% of that 34% because I make…

Wow I didn't know you were an expert on child support in my state!! That sure changes things. LOL I am responsible for 58% of what MY STATE says it will cost to raise a child. He is responsible for 42%. I could go ahead and e-mail you a copy of the court order if it would help clear things up. I don't see how making it…
-
Um, actually I said that I pay more AND raise the child. I'm not asking for more. IF I asked for more that would put HIM in financial hardship which could make it next to impossible for him to take his child every other weekend. That would not be fair to my son would it? So not exactly sure where you are getting the info…

A judge does not care "who said what". A judge in a child support hearing is there for the child and NOT the parents. The judge only cares about "who" is the father and the financial responsibilities. Even if he lied about what he wanted he's still the child's father and is responsible for financial support.
-
So by that logic, even if the man WANTS to be a parent and the mother does not, then she gets to abort the baby and not have the baby and give it to the father to raise? So really he doesn't have any choice.....
-
I feel like I should be quoting Ian Malcom from Jurassic Park: "Life finds a way" Bahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
-
And further more... the guy had a choice to put on a condom didn't he?? I mean geez.... make it sound like women choose to accidently get pregnant!
-
Which is why I originally said to pull out the philosophy books... LOL it's so funny!
-
RIGHT!! Come on weekend! :drinker:
-
Awwwww... it's always worth the fight isn't it? :drinker:
-
Yeah... did you catch the philosophy joke at the end?? Guess that one went over your head
-
So just the plain practice of "existing" in the womb would not be considered a choice to live? Do you not think a growing fetus is already choosing to live by simply existing? Does it have a choice to grow it's bones and little body? (Pull out the philosophy books folks)
-
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! :drinker:
-
I am pretty sure that the baby growing in my belly as I type is not nonexistent.... it's in there moving around and kicking.
-
:drinker:
-
So the argument is that everyone should have personal responsibility since they understand the risks involved? :wink: [/quote] condoms are something like 88% effective (can't google at work) when used properly. the choice to have sex involves a risk of pregnancy, no matter how small. period.* *I should mention the risk…
-
Wait wait wait... are you saying that when a woman on her period the pregnancy risk is decreased??
-
-
So if one parent makes 120,000 per year and another parent makes 45,000 per year then they should each pay the same amount? Just trying to get some clarification. I am re-married and receive child support from my ex for our child. I make more money than him and so my contribution to child support is MORE that what he is…
-
I agree with you. The State (or at least mine) is concerned with both parents and goes off both incomes. If a mom walked out then she is just as liable as a dad would be!
-
Good for you for NEVER saying anything about it in front of your step-son! It is NEVER fair to put them in the middle or make it their problem. I bet deep down he would rather live with you guys, but never would say anything because she would make him suffer. Glad he has you both!
-
Is the pill 100% effective against pregnancy? NO the only thing that works 100% of the time is NO SEX Doesn't everyone take sex ed?
-
I wonder what the child would think of this. It's like saying... sorry, your daddy didn't want you, so you get to suffer through your childhood and not receive the support you are entitled to. Fantastic.
-
Wow... just wow! The first paragraph of your post has got to be a joke. If not, consider what the child rights are. Because he didn't want a baby then that said baby has no right to it's support from it's father?
-
Right... exactly like I stated in the first place. I was just clarifying, and certainly did not think it was a person attack.
