Did you know that disagreeing with the claim that the First Amendment protects a right to rape makes one a religious bully?

Yes, there are vindictive raters "Grandma" a.k.a. "goawaynow" and I'm getting really fed up with it!

It is a sad fact that a much higher percentage of men default on support payments than do women.

Its not fair to stereo type all men, I myself pay child support. And I was a true and faithful husband. My ex wife decided to cheat on me..And so I divorced her and I am now remarried still paying child support. Men and women both should accept responsibilty as parents and as spouses. It takes two..There are men who are good fathers and good husbands, Just because they pay child support that doesnt make them evil men or poor fathers and husbands....

I don't know that anyone was stereotyping here. I certainly wasn't trying to suggest that all men divorced men are dead beat dads not that all divorced women are blameless in the situation. I know that that is NOT the fact. However, it is a fact that it is the fathers that are more often guilty of neglecting their financial obligations to their children. I don't know this for certain, but I would guess that it has to do with the fact that the mothers usually wind up with the children while the fathers are still expected to be the bread winners for them after a divorce. So, mothers are not generally given court mandated child support payments that they can skip out on. Is this fair? Not always. Unfortunately, that is just the way things work out sometimes.

Hey Anonymous Bob! Why don't you go attack Stephen King for a change? Ever read the Langoliers? He killed HUNDREDS of people in that one story whan that plane passed through that vortex into another dimension! And he's often setting terrible monsters loose on innocent people in his fiction! How can you stand someone like that to live???

Hungryguy, if that last comment was supposed to be aimed at my brother, then you really shouldn't have wasted your time. He gave up on AB around a year and a half ago. That is why he is now listed as annonymous.

Oh? Sorry. I didn't know he left...

@Glenn..Hun, just because her fiance is behind on childsupport doesnt mean anything. My fiance IS behind on child support just because of the fact that his ex didnt tell him that she was pregnant nor did she tell him that she had the child UNTIL he was a year old. That is when she decided to file for support and the judge made him pay back support from day 1. I knew this when i started dating him. Plus, she said he is behind on support, she didnt say whether or not he is currently paying. I think she was asking the questions for tax reasons. (i havent read the rest of the posts yet)and you didnt even answer her question. So why did you even say what you did? You went completely off topic. She just wanted to know if she is responsible for what he owes..And the answer to that question, is NO. She is NOT responsible. Plain and simple.

I wrote this because it IS something that she should consider. I don't claim to know all of the circumstances surrounding her or anyone else's situation. However, she or anyone else considering marrying someone who is behind on his child support should get all of the facts before she marries such a person. In the case of your fiancé it sounds as if he has a legitimate reason for being behind. However, not all people do. There are many men who are deadbeats and she should make sure that her's isn't one of them before she marries him.

That is so mean Glenn!! I have pretty much the same issue as her and my fiance daughter is 11 years old he has help in everyday with his daughter! His Baby mother got on the county and did not tell him so she has been taking his money, the county money, and he has her every weekend plus vacation! We have two kids(2yrs&9mos) together that he takes care of but I really don't want to marry him cause I don't want them taking my money!! So we have to go thru court and get it straight before going ahead with the marriage. I just think alot of these women are taking advange and the law points the finger at the dad like there horrible but don't invested these fraud died beat moms!!

Again, just because YOUR boyfriend has been trying to do right by his children does not mean that ever man in such a situation is. I am not saying that there are not reasons why an honorable man might be behind on his child support. However, to assume that this is always the case, to assume that those men who are behind on their child support are always the victim is naive. There are also plenty of men who do simply walk away from their responsibilities. I have personally know some such men. All I am saying is that a women should make sure that she knows what is really going on in such a situation before she marries such a man.
