Okay I was reading the replies to this guys questions.. And well P.
Fritz you seem to be the most negative on the issue. I to am a Single
father of a Son. Who does not recived Child support... However that
said I have requested and applied for it.

Main reason for such an endavor.. it's not because I'm looking to get
rich. I am quite confortable on my own. And we live a confortable
life. My reasons behind are much more evil then that... She is also
the parent of my child. Just because she decided she wanted to be
single, and not have to worry about her children, doesn't mean she is
not responsible for them.

If this were a woman asking the same quesiton would the answers you
all seem to be giving be the same.. No.. you would first be condemming
her for even thinking she has a right to child support, and then after
that you would start to spout off how dumb the system is.

Myself.. I have set up an Education plan. I have made it clear to my
ex, any monies she gives me for my our son. Thats where it's going.
However I do feel she is obligated to hold up her end of th bargin...
Especially considering she is the one who decided to bring the child to
term, and have it. Apprently in other arguments men don't have the
ability to have any control on this matter...

So if she right to decide to do such an action, wouldn't logic dicate
she also has a responsibility to care for her child?

Now this whole notion of saying don't do it because we men should
consider ourselves lucky to have such a order come out in our favour,
is just plain dumb. How is something like this going to become the
norm in society if we don't push it all the way through. Not just
being content with the "Luck" (And I use that term Loosly).

I can't honestly see her be responsible for arrears since you
specifically opted out of such payments at the start.. That could of
been for a variety of reason, they are not important.

What is important is that if a Single Mothe is entitled to Child
Support, then so is a Single Father. End of Story.. And this thing
about her gaining custody.. I think is also hogwash...

She has had no Physical contact with her children... Most is the odd
phone call, maybe a card here and there... I can't imagine any Court,
even if they are Pro Mommy, taking them away from Dad to go live with a
mother that one of them hasn't known since the age of 2.

Monsar I personally think you should go for support if for no other
reason your trying to build a College Fun for your Daughters...
According to the Law you are entitled to recived such support,
therefore it should be paid.
