  this has to be the dumbest thing i’ve read today.

  it should be mentioned that i am not attacking you (the person who said they had to pay child support) … i’m attacking a system that would allow this. what in the taco bell shitting hell was going through a persons head when they wrote that law?

    Sometimes it’s not the wording of the law but the way it’s implemented. Sometimes the law can seem quite egalitarian, but that doesn’t help if the mother is always assumed both the default custodian and less income. Thats no longer as true as it used to be but judges can be old fashioned

  What the law says and what happens can be very different unfortunately.

  My (adopted) step father got custody over my mother for my siblings and I. My mother was on disability, so we got SSI checks (like $40 bucks a month per kid, in the late 1990’s.
