His money is being spent on other people's responsibilities though. Why aren't the other fathers on the hook for child support?
Child support money becomes household money once it reaches the moms hands. Really ain't shyt a man can do about it.
A father can get joint custody tho and it’s really not that hard. I got it when me and my ex wife got divorced. They base child support off the amount of nights you have a child so since I have her half the time I don’t pay child support. Let’s be honest. A lot of men like the freedom of only getting their kids every other weekend. But they shouldn’t be complaining about child support if that’s the case
This ain't true at all...Getting custody involves more than just money..
Let’s be real... in most relationships, the women takes on the role as the primary parent in the child’s life.. A lot of men just give financial support and certain times where they spend it with their children which is why when the relationship ends, the women continues to be the primary parent while the man continues to provide the financial support. That’s why women typically get custody because they are the main parent in their children’s lives.. whether they have a job or not, so the children are usually put with the parent that is their primary caretaker unless there’s other circumstances that makes that a bad idea...
If both parents want custody of the children then each has to prove that the child would be better taken care of for all their wants and needs with a particular parent.
Most men aren’t fighting for that..

My dad had to pay child support and that money which toward the light bill, paying the rentChild support money becomes household money once it reaches the moms hands. Really ain't shyt a man can do about it.
I know dudes who tried to get custody, I didn't work out for them. The burden of proof is significantly greater with men tha it is with women in court. If you cant afford a good lawyer and the mother isnt known trash then good luck.Yeah I live in the us and when in the hell did I say the child support office deals with custody?
So why was @Deacon Frye saying something completely different from what you’re saying? Clearly circumstances differ in each case.
Most men aren’t fighting for custody so stop it and it’s not because they think they can’t win. It’s because they don’t want to or they think the children belong with the mother.
It really doesn’t work like that. It only goes to a judge if the parents can’t work it out in mediation. Even if it does go to a judge the judge determine that it’s in the best interest of the child to either split the time or one get primary custody. So one of the parents has to pretty much not be shyt if they can’t get joint custody. Every parent has the right to see their child just as much as the other
Yes,This is old isn't it?
Yea you said disagreement which doesn’t necessarily mean they attempted mediation thru the court. A disagreement could be just that: a disagreement. If you had mentioned mediation we wouldn’t be here right now. At the same time I know there’s fathers who get dealt a bad hand when it comes to this shyt. I’ve seen it. But I also have seen fathers just cry about child support and barely spend any time with the kids. Bottom line it’s in the best interest of the child for both parents to be there equally but a father needs to know he needs to get the ball rolling right away and not wait. I’m talking about those who aren’t marriedMy post clearly said if there is a disagreement, which means it wasn't worked out in mediation, it goes to family court. The child support office/judge has no say on visitation, they can only apply the standard visitation order unless the parents agree to deviate from it.
You also need to understand your situation is/was different likely because you were married. It doesn't work that way for those unmarried and I know plenty of divorced father's with the same issue. I don't know what state you are in but in the majority of them the family court/judge puts the onus on the father and his attorney to prove why they should have joint/full custody. It ain't just granted because the father ask for it or even if he can prove his situation is better. You should consider yourself lucky because 99% of the time it don't work out the way it did for you. And I'm a part of plenty of support groups for single fathers that shows this is true. I'm also part of political groups pushing for reform regarding child support and visitation. Alot of us have the same stories, I know more than a few than have spent more than 50k in their efforts to do so. So please stop with this bullshyt that men don't want to be full time fathers like there isn't plenty of us trying to do exactly that. How about you join the efforts in pushing for change instead of sticking your nose up because you got lucky.
