Too many women have children for men that they hardly know, thought they knew but ignored the signs, or are straight $$$ chasers. I grew up Adopted and learned that children are a blessing. So, why are we as Black Society, using them as pawns?? Women need to learn that children do not make a man stay with you or love you more. Men, you need to learn that you should rap it up or snip your strings if you don't want children. Men are goin' to run up in it raw as long as u let them and will turn around and peace u out. That's dead wrong and not step up once the child gets here. Men should have enough shame to know that Child support should be less then what they should actually give their  child's mother. <br><br>I agree w/ Mo. We've got to do better as a whole.

I'm a single mother and I receive child support. Child support was my last resort. I believe there are people abusing the child support system but a lot of people really do need it. I understand that you shouldn't have to go to court to get support but it is what it is. I understand that you may not want that absent parents money because of pride but forget that. If you don't want it, think about your child. Put that money in account, so that when your child may need something or when they go off to college or etc... they have a little bit of money. I hear plenty of women who claim they don't need his money but aren't afraid to ask other family members for help. I see it  this way, both  parents laid up and had this baby and if anybody is going to help me, its going to be that other parent. I grew up with my sons father and never expected him to act the way that he did. And its not true that if you file for child support first that, you'll receive a larger amount. My son is the youngest and I filed last and receive the most. Why? I made more money. Also, I had more expenses to pay. I work, attend the University full-time and I'm still a soccer mom. My sons father is still tripping claiming he doesn't have any money but yet he just had another baby.<br>There are some greedy mothers out there though. I had a friend who lived with her grandmother (she paid no rent), had food stamps, grandmother watched her children and received medical assistance from the state and was trying to take this man for all he had. He was in the military, and had gotten married and I'm sorry but thank goodness the judge saw right through her. He wasn't the best father but the amount she wanted was crazy due to the fact that she didn't even pay hardly anything for the child.  I looked at her differently after that. My mother died when I was a teenager and I had no support. But I did it and I'm still doing it. I could receive more child support but I believe receiving something is better than nothing and that 's what I receive most of the time, nothing.

If a father is taking care of his child I feel child support is unnecessary don\'t be greedy let him do what he can. On the other hand if the father isn\'t taking care of his child take him to court.

As woman, we are the gatekeepers of life. If a man tells u he doesn\'t wanna have kids, but proceeds to fuck u raw then maybe you need to step ur game up as a Woman and take charge of your reproductive organs. Too many women have children for men that they hardly know, thought they knew but ignored the signs, or are straight $$$ chasers. I grew up Adopted and learned that children are a blessing. So, why are we as Black Society, using them as pawns?? Women need to learn that children do not make a man stay with you or love you more. Men, you need to learn that you should rap it up or snip your strings if you don\'t want children. Men are goin\' to run up in it raw as long as u let them and will turn around and peace u out. That\'s dead wrong and not step up once the child gets here. Men should have enough shame to know that Child support should be less then what they should actually give their  child\'s mother. <br><br>I agree w/ Mo. We\'ve got to do better as a whole. It\'s sad that I\'m a rarity, Black Woman w/ No Kids, and I can\'t find a decent brotha w/ no kids b/c I don\'t feel like dealing w/ all this child support/babymamma/irresponsible brotha bullshit. <br>Jesus Take the Wheel Because We Crashing :(</div>\

I\'ve experienced first-hand a life of watching my mother and step-father (who\'s been in my life since I was one year old) struggle HARD to come up with a family ever since they were younger than me (I\'m 22). I\'ve seen my actual father go off to various states I wished I could\'ve visited, graduate from schools that I can\'t afford, become a Ph.D and only pay my mother $86 a month until I was 18. My parents are now finally comfortable and happy and my siblings have an excellent life. I never had to do without, but I damn sure had to do with less-than. I\'ve seen my mother work at McDonald\'s while both of my parents attended college and us kids lived on bologna sandwiches and cereal...and that guy who\'s supposed to be my real dad never came to court. Didn\'t give a shit about my mom & her health department visits, food stamps, WIC vouchers and shit. He was having fun, doing him, just as irresponsible as he once was and putting many other sisters through the same grief, struggle and heartache. and not all women have a man who wants to marry them & their child(ren), not all women are as determined and brilliant as my mom.<br><br>where does that leave the kids? anywhere from breaking through stereotypes to breaking through your shit when you\'re at work.<br><br>I\'ve also been around ghetto bitches that figured their pussy could generate checks, so they elect to be a part of this corrupt system and sucker certain dudes into blessing them with mouths that they really shouldn\'t have. I don\'t personally know too many 19 year olds today that I could logically see as being able to adequately rear a child...but they\'re excited as all hell to plan hood ass baby showers, pick out crazy ass names for their youngins, and stand up in the state office fresh outta the hospital talking shit about JuneBug and DooDoo paying them $250 a month...<br><br>"...that\'s my Sprint bill, then I can go get Jaquinessha some baby Jordan\'s and get my hair fixed and sell Rayvon some of these food stamps..."<br><br>...and these niggas just got jobs at UPS.<br><br>Ummm...if chick and dude can\'t support THEMSELVES, then where is this child support magically coming from? don\'t give birth or drip off into somebody when you know that isn\'t what you want or what you need! <br><br>seriously, dudes stop your shit and get on your girl\'s case...$500 for an abortion, $20 for a morning-after pill, $5 for some jimmies or monthly deductions and dealing with this silly ass trick for the rest of your life???<br><br>its like nutting equates to jail sentences these days...lol what the fuck is this?! remember, all these children are gonna grow up...what\'s the generation going to look like with all these half-raised citizens? how are they going to raise their children? we gotta wake up and think about this shit.<br><br>...my mom always says that we shouldn\'t ever be standing in a welfare line for two hours over ten minutes of pleasure.</div>\

I think people also need to think about who they are having children with. <br>Women especially will have sex with a guy, who is just a friends with benefits or a one night stand and expect to make a family off of this dysfunctional relationship. I am not condoning abortion or adoption but to raise a child on already dysfunctional circumstances and then wonder why a father isnt doing right by your child. <br>Child support court now treats everybody like a number b/c they are used to dysfunctional messes being people hating each other b/c they never got a chance to get to know each before having a child. Child support court is a business, they claim to help but take out money for fees. Mothers never get the full amount the father pays. In a civilized world with civilized circumstances, people would be able to settle child support outside of court. Being a women,<br> Ladies get your stuff together and stop having babies with men you do not know. Men grow up and protect yourself if you do not want to pay and have shorterm benefits with longtime consequences. We have got to do better as a whole. Our kids generation is only going to get worse and the children are leading by example.</div>\

When I was growing up no one got pinched for being a deadbeat.  Damn a man or woman who begrudges taking care of their own children.  I know it can be frustrating to see a trifling mother spend child support money on her hair/nails, but I tell dudes all the time "you knew she was trifling when you made a baby with her, so you get no sympathy".  And if a woman knows her man is irresponsible in general, she should be prepared to go it alone financially when that baby comes.  My mom took my father to court once and when he refused to pay, she kept it moving and took care of us on her own.  It saved her a lot of grief and aurguments to just move on.  People break up families, not child support.  My 2 cents.</div>\

No, I do not have him on paper. I make pretty good money and we don\'t need him. It would be wonderful if he did contribute, but I\'m not one to make anyone do anything they are not willing to do.

Only because every situation is different, i know guys who take care of their kids religiously AND stick get stuck paying child support because homegirl wants to be spiteful. Thats the unfortunate side of it. On the other hand, I also know a ton of sperm donors, not child support should rightfully be kicking them in the ass. But its a scary reality, i know i see my friends and family who are victim to child support sucking their funds and it makes me look at females in a different light sometimes. I mean if a man and woman have their differences and split thats one thing. But if hes being a man about his and is taking care of his child, i think its real wack for a female to use child support as a means to cripple him.</div>\

Here lately I have been looking into it only because my children\'s father has developed a wayward penis and I feel like my children should have dibs on the payments. When ( i say when for a reason) he gets someone prego I am not going to be second in line!! He barely does for the children now. His mother and I raise our children I\'ll be dammed if he goes and makes another baby and decides to straighten up only for my efforts to be in vain! I could care less if he has another child I just don\'t want mine left out in the cold</div>\

But I think its worse when men leave their baby momma and think they are free to go and live a brand new life while the child in  the end suffers. It does take two to raise a child(ren)...and in this econmy especially...so men still running away from their responsibilies is a mess and need to be handled. It just sad because I wish there were more men and woman having children together and staying instead of the baby momma/daddy crap.Its SAD!!<br><br>Disclaimer: I do not have children but I know alot of my friend, family, and men who are in this "child support" fiasco.</div>\

For me personally, if I was in that type of situation where I had a child out of wedlock with someone and we weren\'t in a relationship, I\'d rather he be there and spend his time raising our child than go after some court ordered monthly payment.  I\'d rather have a broke baby daddy that called every day to say good night, picked up/dropped off their child at school, spent quality time with their child than a monthly check from a man that doesn\'t do that.  Time and bonding is indispensable.  Now, if he didn\'t want anything to do with his own flesh and blood, then I can see where Child support comes into play.</div>\

Because I wasn\'t gonna be stuck like chuck if things didn\'t work out trying to fight to get it later.  Not to mention the fact that I already knew we weren\'t gonna last too much longer as a couple.  Trust me when I say what he pays does nothing for me & my son, but we are both his parents. . .so we both need to take a part in his financial support. <br><br>As for all the comments about women using the child support money to buy stuff for themselves. . . how would anyone know that??

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5158526" class="dsq-comment-message">Hello everyone,<br>This is my first time posting but I had to give my opinion on this subject. I\'m a single mother and I receive child support. Child support was my last resort. I believe there are people abusing the child support system but a lot of people really do need it. I understand that you shouldn\'t have to go to court to get support but it is what it is. I understand that you may not want that absent parents money because of pride but forget that. If you don\'t want it, think about your child. Put that money in account, so that when your child may need something or when they go off to college or etc... they have a little bit of money. I hear plenty of women who claim they don\'t need his money but aren\'t afraid to ask other family members for help. I see it  this way, both  parents laid up and had this baby and if anybody is going to help me, its going to be that other parent. I grew up with my sons father and never expected him to act the way that he did. And its not true that if you file for child support first that, you\'ll receive a larger amount. My son is the youngest and I filed last and receive the most. Why? I made more money. Also, I had more expenses to pay. I work, attend the University full-time and I\'m still a soccer mom. My sons father is still tripping claiming he doesn\'t have any money but yet he just had another baby.<br>There are some greedy mothers out there though. I had a friend who lived with her grandmother (she paid no rent), had food stamps, grandmother watched her children and received medical assistance from the state and was trying to take this man for all he had. He was in the military, and had gotten married and I\'m sorry but thank goodness the judge saw right through her. He wasn\'t the best father but the amount she wanted was crazy due to the fact that she didn\'t even pay hardly anything for the child.  I looked at her differently after that. My mother died when I was a teenager and I had no support. But I did it and I\'m still doing it. I could receive more child support but I believe receiving something is better than nothing and that \'s what I receive most of the time, nothing. LOL, I received $16 last month.</div>\
