[QUOTE="donna723, post: 140279, member: 1883"] In some cases, Wynter may be right about the back child support. I know when I divorced, even though there was no question that my son was my ex's child, I couldn't collect one dime in back child support for the time before the court order was signed ordering child support! He paid a little bit, WHEN he felt like it, IF he felt like it, but never paid the full amount until the order was signed and the child support was taken out of his paycheck. He delayed paying the full amount for six months! He hem-hawed and nit-picked and drug his feet about signing the papers and got away with paying almost nothing from January through June of that year! Yep, they can do that! And not that I would have ever done this, but how fair is it that if I had also refused to support our son, I would have gone to jail for child neglect! Here the State is pretty useless in helping single working moms collect child support. BUT ... if you receive any kind of State assistance for the child, any kind of welfare or food stamps or day care expenses ... the State will go after the father with a vengence to get reimbursed for what [I]they[/I] had to pay out for the child! They will track them down with bloodhounds if necessary! And they don't give a rat's rear if "daddy" has enough left to live on when they get done with him ... they will get [I]theirs![/I] So, hopefully, if she's been receiving State assistance for child care, the State will make him pay back support so they can get that $$$ back. And I would expect that "daddy" will make a half-hearted attempt to get custody and start slinging accusations around because he'll be thinking that he won't have to pay child support if HE has the baby and he'll be dumb enough to think that it would be cheaper that way! Does this guy have any idea how much it costs to raise a child these days? Apparently not! [/QUOTE]
