Funny? Or Unwarranted Entrapment?

I have mixed feelings... in one sense it's really funny, but then I find myself wishing they had nabbed violent offenders or armed robbers instead of someone behind on their bills. But maybe that shows that I may view defrauding child support as a lessor crime - and of course I don't!

Like I said, I have mixed feelings. You?

I remember when I paid mine to the bitter end. Even though she wanted and had another man I still paid dearly. They had a great time buying 4-wheelers and cars with that money.
If you would have come to my house and looked in my refrigerator you would have thought I was fasting.
But praise the Lord, just like Job i have been blessed five fold in all things and her and her lover later turned husband is now with another and she also after she got out of jail for drunk driving...
But I believe whether law or not it is the responsibility of a man to take care of his children..

He who laughs last..... lol

I only have a few years to go myself. It is a bit irksome knowing I pay a but load of taxes, write my check to nice child support people, she gets it, pays NO income taxes (because of the earned income child deduction tax "credit"), and gets her nice multigrand welfare, errrr, "tax refund" check every year.

Yes that's true and also in this state the guy has to provide health insurance as well..
It's almost like, we're the ones to blame, which might be the case, but a lot of the time it is the female who tears the marriage up also.
The World of Justice!

you know...some people actually need that tax refund check, it has paid for a lot of necessary things.

I raised three kids on a lower income without any child support (exception of about 6 months once). I thankfully did get earned income credit and my girls do qualify for FASA that is paying for college right now....and thanks to all who paid federal taxes when I couldn't afford to, and made this happen. They will soon be paying a boat load of taxes, as they will make a lot more than I do.

Oh yes, my wife and I also paid for every single cent of college. Our parents didn't help. OK, there were a few hundred in grants we both earned which took a TINY bit out of the first semester of the first year, but the rest was all loans. I am also not paying one cent toward my sons college either.... Unless you pay for yourself you will not give 100%.

I think it depends on the child and how well the parents communicate their expectations.

We plan to pay for an Associates Degree or two years of college...

To clarify, I do plan on helping him in other ways such as a new laptop or even pay for his books (and maybe even a little spending money), but his tuition will be all on him.

I agree. When you are raised without any frills or extras in this life, you think differently about money...and appreciate it. My daughter almost cried when we went over her school bill and realized it was paid. She is determined to make something of her life. I have agreed to support her financially if she does her part.

I told my girls straight up, I can't afford to send you to college...you will need to get scholarships or apply for grants. The school let me know about 21st Century Scholars when the two youngest were in the 8th grade.

My oldest is just now deciding to go back to school in Jan...after realizing you really need an education, she is only making $12 an hour @ her job. I hope she makes it ok, she isn't the most disciplined and doesn't live with me.
