| The
ongoing battle of Child Support | |
| Child support is
not money to play games with. The person paying support does not finance the custodial
parents dates, vacations or otherwise. Child support is exactly what it is called:
Support for your children. |
| |
| Just
who are you hurting? | |
| One of dumbest attitudes
around is people who with hold child support just to "get back at" the other parent
or to simply retain what control they can of a failed relationship. The only ones
suffering in the long run are the kids. | |
|
| Fair
Share or Cash Cow? | |
 Here
in Canada there are new child support laws. People have been complaining that
the income of the custodial parent is not taken into effect in deciding the amount
of support to be paid. When it comes down to it, it is not relevant. It also should
not matter if the Non-Custodial Parent makes a million dollars a year. Each parent
should only be responsible for 50% of the cost to raise the child. An ex with
a good job is not a cash cow! Regardless of a parents income, both sides should
equally support their children. | |
|
| Is
this just a "Deadbeat Dad" problem? | |
No! Because of the growing trend of custodial fathers, there is a new trend on
backwards thinking -- Non-custodial mothers who do not pay, and are not even required
to pay, support. You have to know that if this mother had custody society would
be outraged at this lack of concern for financial support. Once again, is this
the assumption that the father is the larger wage earner? It does not matter!
Support is for the children, not the parents. Mom's without custody should be
made to pay support for their children just as Dad's without custody are. |
| |
| So
what harm am I doing? | |
| Non
payment of support can lead to substandard conditions for your children. A child's
self esteem is so precious, lets fight to preserve it any way we can. Poor living
conditions do nothing to boost a child, it will only in time drag them down. And
to top thing off, when the child is old enough to understand what has been done,
they will end up resentful of the parent who neglected their financial responsibilities. |
| |
| Enough
is enough! | |
| It is time to get tough
with the laws. It does not matter if you are male or female, doctor or gas jockey
-- you have kids to support! | | |
