Sorry rob, I tend to skim through and fail to pick up peoples points at times. I saw rehctub's post and what I wrote just came to mind.
But again, what Iam really annoyed at is, for each month she receives $40.00. Yes, there rights and wrongs with the system and this is one of them. I would like ask the government how does this amount help and bring up a 17 year old, let me tell you, they cost a hell of a lot
and its coming out of my pocket and Iam the one wondering where is his responsibility. The feeding, nappy changes, up that three in the morning, sore teeth and the list go's on. I did his hard work for him and he's "is" getting off scott free. He makes 41.000 a year and some how he gets away with $40.00 a month. yes, he has two other children, and i bet he spends more than $40.00 a month on them.

I have a cat that costs more than $40 bucks a month. I'd better stop it there.

The biological father should pay for the following.

1 All medical and dental.
2 All school expenses.
3 And I will be happy to pay the rest.

Now I will go back read what you wrote robert.

Every ones situation is different and in my case, he wants no contact with her. Yes the bad situations that you speak of, isn't fair, but most of these cases are for family services but the money must be maintained for the cost of the child's up bring. When I said the system is fair, I meant, its the best we have got. The child support percentage is currently 13.5%.

Rectum,

I dont see my responsibilty as being any further than wiping my bits off while walking out the door. I can just about guarantee I pay a shed load more tax than you asswipe. So you are not paying for squat on my behalf.

Women should be allowed to give birth only after signing a waiver not to pursue the sperm donor for CS. Otherwise get rid of it.

Charming.

Such a pity we can't apply SCOTTY's sentiments retrospectively to his mother.

Mate, Quit while you are ahead because you are just digging a deeper hole for yourself.

Many an innocent loving father is struggling to support two families because he has the decency to respect the values of a human life that he has had a part in creating.

The next time you get the urge may I suggest you visit a brothel, although I doubt you will find many 'biker moles' there.

You will be hard pressed to find anyone that supports your values, essecially one who pays maintinance becasue your type are the very cause of the way the system treats people now.

As for your tax comment, silly you, you contributed the most yet learned the least.

"Such a pity we can't apply SCOTTY's sentiments retrospectively to his mother."

CJ, you've outdone yourself.

R0bert, I don't have anything meaningful to add except you always strike me as someone who's clearly been done over, but who handles it with intelligence, grace, courage and sensitivity. I hope some of the male career-victims on this forum can learn from you, but I suspect it's a long shot.
