It really makes me sad and makes my stomach turn. That being said, it's not always the case. And I think once the custodial parent puts the needs of the child first, nothing else really matters, certainly not the absent parent being angry. I do not depend on the child support that Aiden receives b/c it is inconsistent, but when it arrives, I put it to good use, usually in Aiden's savings account.<br /><br />I'm so happy that this article helped some of you out! It's always a tricky subject, but ultimately it DOES help the child out. And that's what's most important.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286253462703793396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-76410388963810379002011-05-26T19:24:04.635-04:002011-05-26T19:24:04.635-04:00Great tips!Most of the time making single parentho...Great tips!Most of the time making single parenthood work is all about focusing on what's most important --the child.

Whe...Thank goodness I never had to experience this. When my hubby and I split after Moo was born, he stepped up and made sure she had everything she needed. Now, I do wish my mom would have filed for child support from my father once he split because we struggled and he lived the high life. We went without a lot including health insurance for a while.<br /><br />Ultimately, it's not about being evil or getting even it's about making sure your child provided for.K.

It took me a while and then I realized that my son deserves to be taken care of by both his parents. His father claims that he isn't able to help financially but we've arranged that our son will stay with him over the summer. Granted that will save me a couple thousand dollars alone. But I wonder what will happen when my son comes back home?Laila @OnlyLailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557565180495514065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-4682235779111868932011-05-25T09:31:54.521-04:002011-05-25T09:31:54.521-04:00@MommyGlow Many of us choose to wait until the &qu...@MommyGlow Many of us choose to wait until the "enough is enough" point before seeking support--better late than never.

I got a cornucopia of broken promises, and I finally had enough. But, I did unfile after I filed the first time. Why? Because he got mad when I told him. Once I stopped paying him any mind I refiled and I'm glad I did. though I dont think Im getting enough support as I should, I'm getting something, and it helps to cover my daughters school costs. And now I dont have to nag him every week to support his child. You just have to be ready to say enough is enough.Alexandra Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757839708628559651noreply@blogger.com
