DC>> I know of only one.  And, she only made one payment and nothing
 DC>> else since.

 SC>> I know of several women who pay child support just around here.
 SC>> When

 DC> That's a lot more than I know of!

Whoever doesn't have the kids has to pay the child support. If grandparents
have custody of the kids both parents have to pay.


 SC>> other woman I know from Canada had to pay her ex alimony for 5
 SC>> years when *he* left her for another woman and even moved out of
 SC>> the country to Florida. They didn't have kids either. I don't
 SC>> remember how long my nephew was going to get his alimony.

 DC> See tagline on alimony!

Where?


 SC>> There are quite a few fathers that have custody of their kids
 SC>> nowadays. I would think it is most likely because of drugs or
 SC>> child abuse by the mom. Or maybe the mother just doesn't want the
 SC>> kids. I know a few of them too. Those women do have to pay child
 SC>> support.

 DC> It's more than it used to be, but that depends on the state that
 DC> they live in.  Far less than 10% of the dads ever get custody.

I don't know the stats on it, but I see a lot of dads saying they have custody
on some of the websites I read. Maybe they just have partial custody. I don't
know.


 SC>>> paternity tests and DNA back then. He got out of paying the
 SC>>> child support. And NO, she wasn't sleeping with anyone else.

 DC>> Then again, even a blood test could at least rule out someone.
 SC>> They must not have been ordering them back then so much.

 DC>> And, I've heard of a similar case in which the group was ordered
 DC>> to make payments.

 SC>> I wish they would have done that for her and I'll bet those guys
 SC>> would have given back the money they were paid to testify against
 SC>> her not wanting to support a kid that wasn't their's for 18
 SC>> years.

 DC> The deep pockets always want to keep them full!

Yep.
