You are not legally required to file for child support through the courts.
You and your ex *can* sit down and come to an agreement together. Why put
control of such an important issue in the hands of total strangers who feel
that their formulae are more important than the parents of the child?

Hi, I am new here. I have had child support papers for a year and never
filed them. I am a Christian and I feel like an atheist doing this. I
should say I am a Christian convert, which makes it hard. I divorced my
husband. Slogging through these papers is hell on earth. We have a 6 year
old and I have full custody of her but he can visit her whenever he likes,
we live in the same county. We live in Marin County, CA. The Child Support
people here are friendly and helpful.

You are right. However I know the former head of Family Support Services
for my state and His Grace advised I do it for my daughter's sake. I
think I will listen to His Grace's advice.
