But the men on here were saying that fathers never got their chldren and always have to pay the ex.......you appear to have your daughter and you didn't mention having to pay this ex so I assume you don't, both of which belies the gist of this thread.
Nope, I don't have to pay her - she's supposed to pay me. Can you say "deadbeat mom?" Sure you can.
I'm the rare bird though. I've got my daughter and I don't have to pay. The vast, overwhelming majority of fathers out there are in the opposite situation. They have to pay, plus they have their visitation impinged upon by the whims of the mother. Does the court take their side? No, it doesn't.
Try this one. My daughter lived with my ex-wife and my son lived with me (still does). I was required to pay $1000/month to her for child support. I received nothing. My daughter eventually reached the age of 18 the age at which child support ends in this state. My son was two years younger and remained with me. I had no further child support responsibilities according to law but she had none either despite my single parenting him for two years as a minor. Explain to me how this is fair and then explain to me how I am irresponsible or whining. When you're done with that explain how the laws aren't stacked against men in the divorce courts.
