Isn't child support all about your daughter and really isn't about you, what you want, your guilt, his issues, his other children, his EX, etc.

The courts believe a parent should be supporting a child. If the child does not live with the parent then the parent has to pay money to have that child supported. The fact that you are willing to raise the child without financial assistance does not negate his obligation.

It just feels like you are finding every reason to avoid pursuing the CS on your daughter's behalf. You are doing as the courts expect you to do and your child deserves the effort. Stop finding excuses and do what needs to be done.

We have already seen how he handles things when you do what's right. He fails to step up to it. There was a whole lot of cussin' and carrying on about the custody and visitation, and in the end he couldn't be bothered.

Let him try the manipulation that is bound to comebut you keep moving forward. He'll either step up and be a father to the child or he won't, what happens in between is just quacking.

Your daughter deserves to have someone stand up for her, and he's not going to do it.

Just my thoughts on it, hon.

Stay strong.
