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

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

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

 DC>> That's another variation that I've never run into!

 SC> I temped in family court for about 9 months so I saw all kind of
 SC> variations.

I know of a case with a friend of mine where the great-grandmother has custody
at the moment... good thing too, she's a gem.. she's not too far from my age,
but married and had kids young, as did her daughter, as did /her/ daughter...
It;s an unusual situation, but it's what's best for the child..

 DC>>> they live in.  Far less than 10% of the dads ever get custody.

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

 DC>> Supposedly, I had "joint custody".  That was joke...

 SC> That is sad that the courts don't enforce their own orders in these
 SC> cases.

Sometimes, you have to help them do that. I know that was true in my case..
