child support

I was married for 12 years and had 4 daughters. He turned into a terrible alcoholic, BUt he always worked and made pretty good money, BUT me and the children literaly almost starved. When I discovered Food Stamps, my kids thouight we were rich.

I divorced him. He was ordered by the court to pay child support, but never did pay much . One month I got a check for $10.00 which I framed. You can't buy toilet paper for 5 females for a month with $10.00

They are a lot more strict on enforcing the court orders on child support than they were than, which is a GOOD thing.

Children should never be used as pawns in the adult world if a parent is so terrible that you have to tell them how to care for their own children they should not be left unattended with them period but everyone needs to try and remain civil and work together for the benefit of the children.

Everyone parents differently.  I do not spank children.   It doesn't do any good, and it only teaches them that it's ok to hit.  My kids dad beleived in spanking, so, when he had them, he parented the way he wanted to and as long as it wasn't borderline abusive there wasn't anything for me to do about it.
