Answer 1

The child support must be reinforced in order to protect the welfare of the child who will always be the victim of broken marriage.

Answer 2

You make a child you support a child. The laws both in UK and USA should be strengthened.

Answer 3

From a single mom who gets no support this is my take.

I don't need his money.  I can and do take care of my son on my own.  No we don't have a huge house or a great car or take disney vacations.  But he has a roof over his head, good food, clean clothes and all the neccisities except a father.

If I can't take care of  him without support I should get a better job or give up some of the extras.  For years I only had what I call welfare cable.  (it helped with reception I got local stations and like Oxygen fuse and a few others for about $10 a month.)  Child support should not be to pay for the house to have cable etc.. I don't need nor did he cartoon network, he doesnt need a DS or PS2 yeah he would like them but he doesnt NEED them.  We don't eat out a lot but so what.  We are doing great. Any money i got in support would help but it should'nt be about paying rent and those kinds of bills you have to pay those with or without a kid.  Child support should be just that to help pay for clothes, food and stuff.  i don't know any kids that needs $100.00 worth of food and clothes a week.  I believe it needs overhauled and I don't even get any.

I would rather see support money be used as that the parent pays 1/2 of child care if needed, pays 1/2 of sporting things scouts etc... or go into a fund for the child to have when he needs an education or car at 18 or whatever.  Yes a man/woman should support their child but not to the extent that the other parent doesnt work and the supporting parent is in the poor house and can't pay their own rent and utilities because over half of their income goes to child support.  It needs to be more fair.

I mean too many people are using the child support to live off of for the family not just that child.  The parents should both buy clothes and stuff.  Maybe the other parent should go buy food to take to the house.  IDK it's a fine line.  I just see too many kids not getting anything out of the support that it should go to.

Answer 4

Step 1. Pass the Equal Rights Amendment [ERA]

This ONE single act would, over a very short period, change Marriage and Divorce laws for the better. 'Child Support' as we now know it, 'Legalized Extortion', would cease to exist. Can you just imagine the look on some shrews face when the Judge looks down from the dock and asks, "How do you intend to take care of this child?" and her mouth falls open and nothing comes out? With equal rights comes equal responsibility: no more spousal support and if SHE doesn't have the means to take care of the children, SHE can't have them!

Answer 5

I'm not opposed to them.  My sister has been a recipient of child support when the jerk pays her.  And the thing that happens when he doesn't pay her or makes money to be garnished is that my nephew suffers.  Thankfully he doesn't even know his real father and hopefully never will.

Answer 6

I dunno. I think that the child should come first, however it they are over 18 or something they shouldn't get support.
