Today, my mom and dad went to court to negotiate child support for me and my brothers. During the meeting, my dad was asked, "Sir, are you saying that the only reason you want your sons to live with you full time is so you don't have to pay child support?" To which he responded, "Yes." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband told me "The only reason I stay with you is because it's cheaper than paying child support." FML
Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, while driving my kids to school, my son said, "Why don't you find another place to live, so we can just live with daddy?" Then my daughter added, "Yeah, 'cause we LOVE Daddy." FML
Today, after a fight with my parents, I told them I was running away. They said, "Good. Now we have less to pay in child support." FML
Today, my dad finally told me why he never paid child support to my mom when he was supposed to for the last ten years. His reason? Because I'm a girl and I wasn't that important. FML
Today, I told my father I registered for the Marines, and that I'm leaving for bootcamp next week. He asked if this means that he doesn't have to pay child support anymore. FML
Today, I had a client argue that he shouldn’t have to pay the full amount of court ordered child support because the kids aren’t “fully his”. He swears that when a woman has multiple partners, trace amounts of DNA are left in the womb, creating kids with several fathers. Yes he was serious. FML
Today, I told my son and daughter that their father and I were getting a divorce. They each responded with something like, "Yay! I want to live with Daddy! He buys better presents!" Their father has literally never bought anything for them, one of the many reasons I'm divorcing him. FML
Today, my eldest son told me he wishes he lived with his dad. This after I, two years ago, managed to get myself and my children out of the abusive situation we were in. Why? He didn't want to tidy his toys. FML
Today, I found out the only reason my parents want me to live with them is because of the tax refund. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's awful and so stupid! He obviously doesn't realise that it's way more expensive to be the resident parent anyway, so the jokes on him!

ugh, unfortunately all it takes to be a father is fertilizing an egg...it's a shame some people can't be banned from procreating :(

At least your dad didn't tell you to "Hurry up and turn 18, so I don't have to pay this shit anymore." when he never paid my mom child support in the first place and worked under the table, so his wages wouldn't get garnished. Gotta love them deadbeats!

The court only wanted $75 a month from him too, but apparently, that's just too much. Oh and on top of that, he would never see me or even call to wish me a happy birthday. I'm pretty sure he even forgot how old I was once and even asked what day my birthday was again. I consider you blessed lol.

To be fair, he only said that (aside from the child support), he'd be okay with you not living with him. Not that he'd be okay with never seeing you again.

Tell him that you don't want to pay for his funeral... some dad you've got OP ;(

I'm right there with you... I know it hurts but you're better off without him.

Wouldn't it costs more to raise a child full-time?

My mom was too busy getting drunk and high to be bothered to appear in court when I was 3. I think somehow that's better than your situation, OP. Sorry your dad sucks so much.

Just say you don't want to pay for his funeral.

In pretty sure having kids live with you costs more and takes more effort than paying child support
