No journalistic slant there, huh? Let's blame the kids as being spoiled brats.
Their mother is in a $4,000/month apartment; and on welfare? This sounds like welfare fraud first off, secondly the father will be paying nearly half of his take-home pay for child support. This is NOT Mom's money, never was and never will be. This is money paid to Mom to raise the kids. If you had a similar situation at work; you'd be required to provide receipts and justification for every dollar. However, in child support cases, Mom gets to spend it on anything that enters her mind (sports cars, jewelry, boyfriends). It's not at all uncommon.
"Mom gets to spend it on anything that enters her mind..."
You forgot breast implants and meth......
