If a utopia exsisted, yes. It doesn't. Some parents are able to come
to reasonable agreements that work for them. Some parents are not
able to reach a reasonable agreement and must have a third party
intervene. Whether it be a mediator or judge.

Yep they sure do. They just keep adding and adding on to the overall
expense to raising a child dont they?

Well, how much does the state require intact families to spend on their
kids?

Last I checked.... NOTHING.

Maybe we should start there.

Actually in a round about way the govt does. If you dont spend money
on your children by giving them clothing, food, ect they take your
child away or throw your ass in jail for neglect.

Untrue. You can provide food, clothing, etc. and not spend one thin dime.
However, that does NOT address the question. I understand the question to be
inquiring about the mandatory number of dollars intact families must spend.
So, the answer is?

And WHO'S the judge as to whether or not they need a judge? "Reasonable" is
a matter of opinion subject to the individual.

You are legally entitled to wake up tomorrow morning, but that doesn't mean
someone won't put a bullet in your head tonight. What's your point?

That's one dollar LESS than the ordered "child support". Again, WHY do you
need it?

So if you receive support you can never buy a lottery ticket or
take a
drink?


Child support should not be used for anything other than for
supporting the
child.

So I use the child support to support the children, and buy my lottery
ticket
with my own money.

Now........... how can you tell which dollar was which? They all look
the
same.
=====
The dollar spent on the child will come with a receipt.

So I can't buy anything for my children at a street fair, or some other
place
where they don't issue receipts? Can't buy ice cream from the ice cream
truck
because they don't issue receipts?

You think those things are necessities that your x should be paying for?

I think those are the sort of things that many, if not most, parents
occasionally purchase for their kids, whether the marriage is intact or not.

There are any number of things that I purchase for my children that I don't get
a receipt for - lunch tickets for school, for example (at 1.55 (elementary
school) and 1.85 (junior high), a nutritious bargain at that price) - I was
questioning the requirement that you can only buy things for which you get a
receipt.
