I am not so sure, often women will act like the 'victim' but that might not be the case, also another thing that I am not so sure about is the child support figures. I am not saying that the parent who is not taking care of the kid(s) shouldn't pay any but from what I have seen two people I know were paying for a shild seemed a bit high, especially when the person paying the child support was not even making enough to survive! If I am not mistaken, this one guy was paying close to $500 a month for child support (1 kid) where his net monthly income was under $1600!! This was years ago but in California, where one person can not survive on $1100 a month! And I knew the woman receiving the child support, I seriously doubt she spend more than a quarter of it on the poor kid.

Who is the real victim, well the kid at the very least!

Of course, you can always argue saying kids cost a lot etc. and I know but one thing I am doubtful about is that the mother who is receiving the support $$ really spending the money on the kid(s) and not on her personal shopping.

Why do you think I have remained a child-less bachelor into my 30s (and no, not because PP is my mentor)! lol...ok, today was my first day at work so give me some credit if it sounded like I was talking out of my rear!
