However, I still think it's complete BS that a father who BEGS to have his child more often is simply told no, then told he has to pay more because he doesn't see the child often enough. It's like you get punished, then you get punished again for getting punished in the first place.

Dont get me started, Michigan is the worst.

Didn't you listen when ur parents, friends, brothers and sisters told you DON'T GET MARRIED AND DON'T HAVE KIDS? I'm guessing not.

You have to live with your ignorance. lol

If you are going to get married, marry a chick that doesn't have legal citizenship here and barely speaks English. Or a chick that doesn't work....

Ya, so you can pay a shit ton of alimony on top of child support.

Like my friend with the Mexican wife, who after a few years decided that she wanted a Mexican boyfriend.

Here's to staying un-married and childless.

Here, here... I sometimes wonder why men do it at all anymore? What's the incentive? Everything seems so hard when it comes to relationships and family these days. BTW fwiw, I don't see why women do it either. ..

Yeah... the I wonder why anyone does it anymore.... better sentiment.

No one wins in any of these scenarios. The biggest problem, the KIDS lose.

It's terrible! My ex girlfriend tried to get child support out of me for her daughter and the court in Mi actually heard the case!!! Of course, she never tried to get money from the dead beat father of the child. I had to prove that I had not supported the kid for more than half it's life and that the actual father was in the picture.

You guys realize myself, and women like me, detest the vile women that do this bullshit too.. right? It makes my job harder because the court almost makes it difficult for me to do right by the kids. Fuck everyone else in the scenario - do right by the kids.
