Introduction
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. Atlanta |

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? "Soprano" wrote in message ...

If you use the services, they take a fee, and can create hardships for
the father. You only have to use the service if absolutely necessary. If the father is ever out of work, they can put the father in prison, which is the "hardship" part. Best advice, don't use it, if you don't have too. Soprano wrote: Hi, I am new here. I have had child support papers for a year and never filed them.

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. |

Oh--you mean your ex is such an uncaring father that he would try to shortchange his daughter? That is really sad!! |

There are other problems which I don't want to discuss publicly anymore. |

He helps out in other ways and sometimes gives me a small amount of cash. He will buy groceries sometimes or dinner other times. Its a tough situation and one I no longer want to discuss on Usenet. |

You just gave the courts control over you, your daughters, and your ex's life. |
