No shame

Today, I got a letter in the mail, my mother has applied for a reduction in her child support payments for my brother and me. She's paid $10 child support in 16 years. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Wow.. Parent of the Year right there. :-/

"Welcome to the 21st Century"?! The the biggest load of bullshit I've heard #7!! This woman chose to squeeze these two kids out of her uterus, therefore she is just as responsible for raising and supporting them as the father. And I guarantee that if it was the father who was stiffing them on child support and ignoring their existence, you'd be calling him a deadbeat father. OP, you're better off without her in your life.

thats terrible :(

fyl for not knowing simple grammar. when will people learn how to use "I" correctly?

FYL for not knowing how to read the 4th comment above you.

well my dad doesnt pay child support and his 'new' kids are spoiled rotten.

Sry to hear that but I totally understand. My "friend" had two kids with this chick and yrs after they broke up got with a chick with a kid. Guess what kid got spoiled and which kids where on assistance and had charities helping them.

If ur mom was told by a judge to pay a certin amount then she has to pay it until she is tild other wise.... Ur dad could go after her for that if he wanted to ( if there was a set amount she was supposed to pay)

Says she's from Australia though.

I feel for you OP. My daughters dad feels that paying $188 a month for support is too much. What I have to spend on her doesn't go on income so why should he get to only pay what he can afford? He owes me $6000 and has only paid it willingly (and not even the amount he has to pay) maybe once or twice. Where I live, if you make arrangements with FMEP, they won't garnish your paychecks and will only take from GST or your income tax refund. He calls me a deadbeat when his knickers are in a twist (which is at least once a week) lol it actually is kind of funny. Call the person who is raising your child, and providing for her, a deadbeat when he doesn't see her often at all. Maybe once every couple of months (and that's being generous)for about an hour at a time. Deadbeat parents suck, and not only for the other parent who picks up the slack but the kids suffer too.

She should pay double
