How many passes do you think you have been given, gr8Dad? I have lost count.

Word of advice SL? If you're going to be passive aggressive, at least try to respond without using quick reply. If I didn't realize you and I don't interact, I would've thought that jab was meant for me.

Me? Passes? Yeah, right. Oh, and I DO apologize and admit when I am wrong. Nice try thought. Don't you have an ex to deal with or custody to dispute? Oh, wait, no, what the hell ARE you doing here?

Do you have a problem with free speech, Gr8dad? WBC, Josh Powell, Christian religion, etc.- the threads you start and typically rally around do have importance to everyone (just FYI). This place is a "water cooler" and no experience is necessary. You can try to shut me up by saying I should stay in the corner and watch the adults, but you should read up. As you tell me to. You certainly speak of freedoms a lot, but you don't seem to allow others to have them very often.

I NEVER said that you could say anything, I just asked WHY.

I beg to differ. I happen to think CS is generally highway robbery. I understand her frustration in that regard. I think it really colors her situation towards her ex in a very understandable way. It would be nice if she left her kid out of it, quit giving her ex headspace every time he doesn't pay for something which she ALREADY KNOWS he won't pay, etc. But I quit kicking that dead horse a long time ago.

I have to agree with others. At this point your child is the most important. If you and the x are bickering, this will hurt your child in the end. Just pay for it and let him have fun. Sometimes we just have to suck it up and its hard to do. I have been in your shoes, and you will see with time that your son will grow into a wonderful young man if you keep the anger out of all of it. Your child cant help that his daddy is an ......

I don't know much about child support, but from reading the posts, I have a question. From some of the responses, it seems the parent paying child support has no say in how it is spent, as long as basic needs are being met. That does not seem right at all. That would mean if Dad had a large income and paid $3,000 a month in child support, Mom could feed the kid hotdogs and baked macaroni and refuse to let the kid have guitar lessons, and buy his clothes at yard sales and thrift shops? I would think the court would not look favorably on this.
c jane......If you are that upset with this situation, why don't you start documenting the things you believe are unfair and go back to court? Your child support should not be supporting your ex or his wife.
