DC>> That depends on the guy and the relationship of course.

 SC>> The parent's relationship has nothing to do with the
 SC>> non-custodial parent paying or not paying child support. Yes, I
 SC>> know quite a few women who pay child support and even alimony to
 SC>> the men.

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

I know of several women who pay child support just around here. When my
nephew's ex threw him out to move her boyfriend in (no kids) he filed for
alimony since she made more money than him and got it. The other woman I know
from Canada had to pay her ex alimony for 5 years when *he* left her for
another woman and even moved out of the country to Florida. They didn't have
kids either. I don't remember how long my nephew was going to get his alimony.

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


 SC>> Now, that isn't right. Then again, I remember a incident where a
 SC>> guy paid 4 friends to go to court to say they were sleeping with
 SC>> his girlfriend at the same time she conceived. They didn't have
 SC>> paternity tests and DNA back then. He got out of paying the child
 SC>> support. And NO, she wasn't sleeping with anyone else.

 DC> Then again, even a blood test could at least rule out someone.

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 to
 DC> make payments.

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