What do you think a acceptable amount of child support is,,to a man who has had SEVERAL chances to be a father their their child/children... And he refuses to see him and wants nothing to do with him/her? We didnt get prego alone..

Question

My sons biological father has had several chances to be apart of his sons life,he refuses to see him,help out in any way,and doesn't feel obligated to help financially with his son. For the last 2yrs hes paid 70$ a month child support and my son is 5 this literally helps do nothing.. Daycare is at least 400 or more a month. I didn't lay down and get pregnant alone and I was on birth control. I sent through my pregnancy without him labor without him and have been raising him alone until I got married to my husband who we love dearly and is daddy to him. But I don't feel he should get off Scotch free!!

Answer

He should be required to pay half of everything from the largest to smallest of things. We need to stop teaching BOYS that it is okay to run away from responsibility.

Answer

Acceptable is exactly half of what it takes to keep the child healthy, clothed, fed and doing activities. You pay the other half. This includes home expenses bc a child needs a place to live.

Answer

Child support goes off what they are making . They look at what he makes then make sure he has enough to survive and gives you the rest . So for you to be getting only $40 would piss me off so much ! You need way more than that . I would take it to court !

Answer

I have a $400 child support order. I have received $240 since April... he is joke. I ignore him.

Answer

680$ a month my ex husband is great though we are really good friends . He has my daughter every Thursday  and every other weekend except when there is a math test he gets her the night before to tutor her. I think it's based on income and the child's age. I got divorced when my daughter was 5 she's 13 now . I told him to save it for a car for her once high school starts.

Answer

My sons dad is supposed to give me $85 per month. $25 of it is to reimburse me for a life insurance policy I'm required to carry for him by the courts. So really it's $60. AND I've never seen a penny!  It's ridiculous!

Answer

I think it depends on how much they make. I always get annoyed when people go back to court to get more money and leave the father not being able to pay his stuff when he has half custody and takes care of the kid. I've seen it plenty of times it's annoying and they go out and get their hair done and nails and spend it on concerts and have no money left over to get her kids food or new clothes. Uggh sorry I went on a rant lol. But anyways $75 isn't enough. My son is 20 months and that wouldn't even be enough for him.

Answer

He should give the child up if he doesn't want to be a father. Give full custody to you.

Answer

My father had to pay $750, and that was at his lowest income. I think at least $300 a month.

Answer

I say ask him to relinquish his parental rights and dont bother with child support....
