Two sides to every story, who knows how he was provoked or what not. I can’t say I’d do this, they’ve banned pennies in Canada anyways, but I can see the anger a lot of fathers have after being alienated and cut out from the kids and still paying.
“Turning around and donating that money to moms and children in need,”
So they didn’t need the support money?

Childish on the man’s part.
But there are two sides to every story.
My sister was physically abused by her husband. Having lived with my sister, however, I knew she was an insufferable bitch who like to bait (and hit) men into provoking a response, including me. I punched her square in the face when I was 12, and she 18 after she slapped me because I wouldn’t do what she wanted.
Anyway, happy for the man he never has to deal with the wife and children again.
And vice versa.
Move along.
he sounds like a douchecanoe.
Unless the daughter is a libtard and is trained to ignore the evidence of her own eyes.
$800 doesn’t go very far.
This guy copied the pennies in the driveway from a few months ago over a different issue.
So they didn’t really “need” the money if they could afford to donate it. They just wanted to get it out of the father.
Well, not much info here. Maybe the woman and the kids are horrible grasping A-holes.
I hope she donated the money to some woke cause? Like underpants for transgenders.
Did the father get a say in how HIS child support money was spent all these years?
what were his visitation rules?
men are only responsible for half the cost of an abortion... her body her choice. i think there could be a legal precedent set.
why should men be held responsible by the state, when the state cannot interfere with a woman’s right to choose?
What a flaming a hole
Don’t want to pay child support??? Don’t make babies
Real men support their kids - no matter what.
My first wife and I divorced right after our only son was born. She descended into postpartum depression and then continued drifting down into more complicated psychiatric issues like schizophrenia and paranoia. She became a different person.
I was devastated and eventually it destroyed our marriage and she filed for divorce after only 5 years of marriage and a one year old child. She got custody of the our son, as was the custom 60 years ago. I was a mess for a couple of years.
But we were both young and inexperienced at the foibles life would present us. She eventually sought treatment for her mental issues and I just learned to get over it and move on.
But one thing we never did was to treat each other badly and always treated each other with respect. I tried to always take the high road and not scheme to get back at her. She seemed to realize that was the best route to take as well.
All these decades later, we still trade Christmas cards, birthday cards and even phone calls occasionally. We have cordial conversations and can laugh a little at our youthful mistakes. There has never been any acrimony or hate between us that I detected. The anger, resentment and disappointment we experienced as young divorcees has dissipated over the years. We are civil and friendly to each other now.
So it is possible to get the short end of the stick and still hold your head up high and not deliberately make matters worse. Our son is well adjusted because his parents treated each other nicely and respectfully and didn't play one against the other with him suffering the consequences in the middle. He tells us both that he recognized that fact and he appreciated our behavior.
Even when you think you are being taken advantage of, it's always best to take the high road and not do something that will escalate the situation and reflect badly on yourself. You will thank yourself down the road.
IMHO... the dad did a childish, selfish act that ensured his children feel like the trash he treated them as. Whether there were issues with the mom or not.. he should have thought about HIS kids and NOT his “isn’t this a funny F you” to his ex.
Buried in the article is the line She didn’t know who it was until he shouted, ‘It’s your final child support payment.”
So she didn’t even recognize the father of her kids? He might or might not have been an ass, but if the ex-wife didn’t even recognize him at first, she had obviously shut him out of the kids’ lives.
So he may have done this only to find out that it does not count.
Friend of ours had a child support order. When he lost his job and fell behind the police arrested him. His ex went to court to ask that the back support be forgiven and the child support be suspended until he could get a new job.
She was told that it was none of her business, it was the state who ordered the support and by gum he would pay.
End result was that she gave him the money to pay the back support so he could get out of jail.
The world of family court is an odd place.
