[QUOTE="donna723, post: 389528, member: 1883"] It's really shameful how child support is handled in a lot of areas. In my case, even after the court order was entered and they finally started taking the CS out of his paycheck, he still didn't pay the other things he was supposed to. Our divorce decree stated that he was to pay half of all our sons medical and dental expenses that weren't covered by insurance. Of course, as the custodial parent, I had to pay these expenses up front and then it was left up to me to have to collect it from him. And of course, he never paid a dime of it, even after our son had lots of necessary dental work done. The child support office would do nothing until he owed at least $500, and after he reached $500 in arrears, they would send him another useless letter that he ignored. And if my son ever needed medical care, the form I had to sign giving permission for him to be treated also stated that by signing, I was agreeing that I was [I]personally[/I] responsible for the bill! I always wrote a little disclaimer next to my signature saying I was responsible for only HALF, then I'd write his name and address and say that he was responsible for the other half. I don't understand either how anyone could choose NOT to be responsible for a child that they brought in to this world and have no interest in their welfare. My nieces ex never paid one dime towards their oldest sons support until he was four years old, and then he only did it because he had to or he'd go to jail. He never sees him and he only saw the younger one once, right after he was born - he's 21 months old now. In their case, the kids are much better off for NOT having him in their lives but they still need his financial support. And this jerk has a third child too, an eight year old girl that he fathered before he hooked up with my niece, and he's never supported her either! [/QUOTE]
