Oh he will kids are smarter than parents think

Ok, it's time to put on my ex investigator hat because this guy is a bad liar. He first said she could work but chooses not to, but then says she has a great career and he doesn't know why he has to pay child support. So, does she work or not? He also made the claim that the sister went to jail for a really long time for perjury. Well, most people go overnight for perjury, or at most, a weekend if they're booked on a friday evening and can't find a bondsman. Perjury is not the crime people think it is. Just look at Congress. Next, we have the claim that he was visiting his son, trouble broke out, and he tried to leave with his son. The dad confronts him, and they fight, but he's totally innocent. Ok, first off, you can't, in any state, just leave with your kid. It's called kidnapping. You can not just remove the child from the custody of one parent if that parent says no. You can not just remove the child from the property of the other parent. So if his ex is not allowing him to take said child, and dad stepped in, dad is basically stopping a kidnapping. Theres a reason neither one of them was arrested for the fight. The final thing here is he feels he shouldn't have to pay because they have 50/50 custody. First off, that's not a thing. No judge is going to give equal custody of a child. You can have shared custody, with one parent being the primary caregiver, but there is no such thing as 50/50. Given the fact that mom is the one receiving child support, it's safe to assume she is the primary, and the child lives with her full-time, while dad has visitation. So, yes, he should pay child support. He isn't responsible for paying for the daily care, shelter, feeding, and clothing of the child, nor is he responsible for the childs education. This is how custody law works. So after listening to this guy blabber on, i can see why she left him.

Unfortunately, I think you're right. That mom is extremely vindictive, and without a camera across the street, she might have gotten full custody while the dad would have gotten jail time and lost his job, as well. She doesn't care about Truth, nor her child, only winning. Hopefully she'll let go of enough of the bitterness to allow their child to grow up in reasonable harmony, and that the dad will learn to let that amount go, and focus on the fact he got joint custody against the odds, as well as has a decent job to pay for what he needs to pay.

This is the perspective you have to look at from men's point of view. Most not all men but most men wouldn't have a problem paying child support if the money went to a shared account that both parents could view. But as men we know the child support is paying your bills and lifestyle, because you still expect us to help out with school, sports, medical and ect. on top the child support that we're already paying.

As a mother who never received ANY support, I probably would have felt similarly, about funds sent directly to my ex. I just need to point out, with the vast majority of support orders, the money given to the custodial parent is rarely so much that it supports a “lavish” lifestyle that the parent would otherwise not have if the kids didn’t exist. If you had a very wealthy parent, or a huge disparity in earnings, perhaps. But, for the ordinary families, it’s honest not that large a sum of money.

Some of you missed that first part. They have a child with medical issues from birth. During covid he chose to keep meeting clients. Im in my 30s and covid caused me to get COPD (I'venever smoked). Im willing to bet he never took covid seriously and it looked like he didnt care about protecting their child.

You're right. I used to work as a paralegal filling in child support forms. It's strictly a mathematical formula, there's no credit for who was "right" or "wrong".

Just because you split up means you get out of being financially responsible for raising your child. Here is what the Judge probably decided, if she is unable to keep a significant amount of her salary after daycare then it may be better to remain at home. Also, special needs children, some of them, can not go into a daycare which is not equipped to handle skilled nursing. My brother and his wife has a special needs child so I know how this goes.

So what are his complaints regarding 400 bucks a month REALLY about ? She filed for divorce he said - but later admits it was not her packing up the (special needs) kid when he did not socially distance during COVID that broke the marriage. It wasn't going well before he said. he did not elaborate on how serious the condition of the child is - that can put a major strain on a marriage.

My oldest daughter’s father was very abusive amongst other things, including a narcissist. I left him when she was 2 and he refused over the years to not pay child support. When she was 14, he would always complain to her about things that should only been kept between the two of us like Child Support. She stated to him that he should have to pay child support and a vicious argument ensued. One of the statements he said to her was, “she left me. I shouldn’t have to pay child support.” It’s the craziest thought process that I see men saying like that is not their child as well and they don’t have to provide some support. Support will never be 50/50, but you can still pay something towards their monthly care. My daughter is almost 21 and has been no contact with him since 17.

The reality is that is his child and his responsibility. Be a man, grow up. I went through a divorce in 78, received $300 a month for 1 child and he paid the mortgage. Caller is getting off easy.

I didn't have sympathy with this caller until i heard that he'd been a victim of a false allegation in court. Anybody who does that (typically the mother) to get leverage in court and more custody time should automatically go to prison and pay a hefty fine. Many lawyers will even encourage false restraining orders against great fathers, which is why family courts are corrupt.

​@@williamjohn8633actually it's pretty typical for both parents to lie in child custody cases that require a judge. That's just fact, very rarely do decent people need a judge to create a custody arrangement for them, they normally sort it out for themselves with a mediator with joint custody as the norm. You are putting out your neck for the worst kind of people. And frankly I'm a little iffy on the "false allegation" story. He never specified what part of the allegation was false after all he says he was proud to get a few punches in, did she lie and say he swung first? Very strange for someone to have proven themselves innocent but to still be so dicey on what they are innocent of. Plus he's crazy inconsistent. That's not a defense of her family as I mentioned the group of people in this position are often the worst of people.

It sounds like she was worried about covid and their child with medical needs. He said needed to work (meet w client) which she read as risking the health of their child. So they were disagreeing about what was safest for their child, and he's sad about the $. But that was his focus the entire time and she was sick of it/ felt it was endangering their child. Some states the custody default to the mom, so when he shows up making demands...Again he's focusing on the $

Funny how "provide for his family" was so important during COVID he risked the kids life and their marriage but now suddenly 400 a month is too much of a burden. Where did that provider mentality go? Your own flesh and blood still needs medical care.

A lot of these anecdotal stories don’t have the full details for people to even determine what is “fair” in a divorce. To know for sure, you need to know: -Ages of the spouses and children -Length of marriage -Income of each spouse -Estimation of potential income of any spouses not working -Any above normal medical costs if children or disabilities of a spouse -Valuation of marital property, assets, debts -Valuation of non marital property -Type of custody agreed to/ordered by the court -Court ordered/agreed to division of all assets -Any alimony ordered and for how long -The specific rules and policies of the state Most callers aren’t providing this level of detail on a call.

Definitely the father of your kid

So many people in the comments seem to be confusing child support with alimony. The mother isn't getting the money to use for whatever she wants, she is the beneficiary on behalf of her children to help pay for their expenses. Now given that the guy mentioned his kid had health issues, I'm willing to bet that most if not all of that $400 is going towards his health expenses. Let's be real, $400 per month is not going to be enough to cover most kids living expenses between food, clothes, extracurricular expenses, school expenses, health insurance, etc., especially for a kid that has health issues.

My friend raised her two sons alone. Her husband lost his job in the economic downturn and refused to get "just any job." He felt he was too good for any low paying available job that was not in his field (construction/development). He moved to another state (IL) to get out of paying any support. She worked four part- time jobs and grew her own vegetables, oicked apples and made applesauce etc. to try to feed her sons. Because there was no formal divorce yet (she had no money to pay for a divorce) and no "friend of the court" decree she had no real legal recourse. All she had was the ability to get him arrested for non-payment and she decided not to do that because if he was in jail he would not be available to see his sons or help her out at all. This man was eligible for food stamps in Illinoi but she was not eligible as there was no divorce, no decree. The boys started working early to buy their own clothing, shoes etc. Just not fair.

He fought in court demanding a jury and wanted full custody and I pay him child support (which a jury would have cost me 30k which I simply didn't have the funds for that) he said the only way he would drop it is if I agree to no child support. I said you keep your money ill take care of what's important (the children). They lived with me. I paid for everything. I don't understand these guys today. I made a bad choice in partner.. but I always show respect infont of the kids... and I keep the kids out of the drama completely. They are innocent. I just live and learn and bootstraps and stuff.

She could work - so WHO is going to take care of his special needs son. (she has family, so maybe he hopes they would take care of the boy so she can work). That the child stays with him 50 % of the time does NOT mean she does not still shoulder much more of the burden.

$400 is nothing. That's the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the gas your wife uses to drive them to school and doctor appointments, the mortgage she's paying to keep them housed. I think he's probably just very hurt by the divorce, which I totally understand, and I feel for him. But you know he was happily paying way more than $400 a month to take care of them when they all lived together.

This video should be a pre requisite to getting married. Top advice, especially the part about when you give the courts the right to decide your future.

He needs to get over it. Child support is determined by % of time spend AND relative income. He still has not gotten over the bad relationship. YES pay your child support or you can end up in jail/wage garnished and it's just a responsibility to your child. He also just has to find a way to make piece since like it or not you're stuck with each other in raising your child. That's not going anywhere. This guy sounds like a mess.

$400! He got off lucky.

You can be better or bitter. Love God, yourself, your son and others. Thank God you have provision to comply with the court order. Please trust God with your future.

This is the cheapest most narcissistic thing I’ve heard all week. Child support calculations aren’t rocket science. Even at 50/50 he probably makes a bit more than her, therefore, he pays his portion so the children could stay having a similar quality of life. Before he mentioned $400 I was thinking $2500-3000k a month or something. If $400 is gonna make or break him saving for a house maybe he should rethink his strategies. When people deflect so much in a conversation it just tells me they’re hiding a whooleeeee lot of something. My main red flags are 1) saying she filed and he was good. Generally men bring this up to say that women are horrible BUT if you were miserable in your marriage wouldn’t you want to leave too? This guy sounds like he probably did nothing with those kids or at home but was happy to just bring a check. It’s 2022 and everyone works. Get to washing dishes after dinner buddy. And if he made enough for her to stay at home and be a money hungry leach he def wouldn’t be paying $400 a month 😂😂😂😂 like what is she gonna do with that? Buy a tiny toy violin to play for her ex husband when he calls a talk show to cry? 2) you go to see your kids and get in a fist fight with your ex’s dad? Lol okay. 3) The second he brought Christianity into a non Christian conversation I knew he was full of hot air. I’m happy for his wife. She’s probably better off without a crybaby man child.

@@The-Oneness11 50/50 is great for women, because it gives mothers a break, and gives fathers the opportunity to step it up as fathers. I've heard to many fathers say they were mediocre parents when they were married, but when they divorced and got 50/50 custody, they had to 100% present for their kids 50% of the time. This forced them to take parenting seriously, and put 110% effort into parenting. In turn, the mothers get a break, because they don't have the kids 90% of the time. 50/50 equal shared parenting empowers women, and creates equality.

HIS STORY HAS CONTRADICTIONS. He told at front she is not willing to work for income then 7:50 He said his wife has a great career.

It could be that she had great career prospects, and HAD a great career, meaning past-tense, but NOW, in the PRESENT, she is unwilling to work. The system is unfair, and both parents should be required to work, default 50/50 custody, and no child support. That being said, I know the system is incredibly unfair, so I would consider myself incredibly lucky to beat the corrupt and evil system and win 50/50 with only $400/month in Child Support. I will still fight hard for systemic changes: Equal Shared Parenting, Default 50/50 custody with no Child Support, Child support caps, and Accounting for the Payer's living expenses BEFORE applying a child support calculation. Child support should be payed AFTER the parent's living expenses are deducted. It's much easier to support a child under your roof than pay for them to live under another's roof.

He sounds incredibly bitter. Everything is detailed when he's pointing a finger at her and her family, but vague when it involves him. I don't know how it works in AZ but in UT, he would get credit against child support for providing health insurance for their son (reduced by Mom's 1/2 share of the child's portion of the premium) and may even be able to require her to pay half of all of the childcare costs he incurs while the child is in his care. HOWEVER, if he's refusing to put the child with a family member of hers for free care (or even the ex herself) that's on him. I hope he's in a better headspace now.
