What about school fees, bus passes, shoes, clothes, kids weekly
spending moneys? None of the above is deductible from any child care
money pay ed to the mother! Have a look at both parts of section 7 of
the act governing child care payments and expenses.
Hun, I think you missed her point. Do you honestly believe a young child
would pay for school fees, bus passes, shoes, clothes, etc... if he/she
was given child-support money directly? If not given, then had a total
say in how it was spent.
I don't know about other people's children, but mine has this attitude
that since I'm their mother I must provide for them. Hense, if they were
given money that was suppose to go towards their actual care and they
spent it on Pokemon cards, I would still provide for them.
While at work the other day, I read through some of Oregon's description
on child abuse... this is the legal definition. And not providing the
basic needs of a child is considered child abuse. Now kids are taught at
an early age that if their parents are not providing these things to them,
then that *is* abuse. So in terms of giving a child child-support money
to buy those things for themselves... and if that child decided to go a
blow it on Pokemon cards, CDs, games, etc... then the CP could be
investigated/charged with child abuse.
The above is just one reason why I would not support giving child-support
money to a child. No matter what their age is. As long as the primary
parent (CP) is going to be held legally responsible in making sure the
child is provided for... then it would not be right.

Hmmm... can you read? I don't like being rude, but the above had
nothing
to do with what I said below. The topic at hand was giving
child-support
directly to a child, and what they may end up doing with it... not what
child-support IS suppose to go towards.

Thanks for admitting it that it's nothing more than an income suppliment.

Well giving the money straight to the child does have to do with what I wrote.
If the money was given to the child do you really think it would be used on
food, clothes, housing all of what child support it for? It is to help raise the
child and not meant to be used as spending money for the kids.

An income supplement is supporting the child, if the mother or father does not
make enough money to raise the child on their own then the money helps out. And
don't give me the crap that if the father has more money he should automatically
get the child because thats not always the case nor is it always best for the
child.

There are plenty of studies that show that children fare better with their
fathers. Provide one to the contrary.
Balderdash. The purpose of child support is to ensure that the child's
standard of living does not suffer as a result of the dissolution of the
parents' relationship. It is not to establish equity--or parity--in
division of costs.
> >And that it is not Child Support.
>
> How so, when it is spent on the children?
Right: no custodial parent ever benefits from child support payments.
It was my *son* who needed the kitchen remodeled, the Jacuzzi tub in his
mother's bathroom, the new Mercedes--none of which she could afford
without the exorbitant child support payments I make.
And if the sole purpose of child support is so noble, why then is it
based upon ability to pay, rather than need?

Heck I'd like you to provide even one study that shows that the child is better
with the father. If a mothers rights group did the study it would show one
result and than if a fathers rights group did the same study. Some dad's are
assholes and should not get the kids, yet they will still scream that it is
unjust that the mother got them. Don't you agree that not all fathers are
created equal? You may be a good dad but what about Joe Blow down the street? It
would all depend on the individual families, some fathers are abusive as are
some mothers, some are alcoholics, some are work-a-holics, some are drug
dependant. A mother might get the child if the courts determine that the father
spends more of his time working,drinking or shooting up than he spends with the
child and the same could be said for the mothers. I am in no way saying that a
mother should always get the children, what I am saying is that we can't take
your divorce and custody battle and have it fit ALL families divorce and custody
situations. Sure more dad's get the bitter end of the stick and the sooner some
of these older judges get off the bench the sooner we will see some equity in
divorce and custody situations.

How is it not supporting the children when it is spent on the children
on behalf of the non-resident parent?
--
Pat Winstanley
Which studies are those?
Or do you mean studies that show that a child generally does better with
BOTH father and mother than either one on their own?
I don't think anyone is disputing that in most cases the child does
better with BOTH parents involved in their lives (ie. father involved as
well as mother).
It's not always the case though... some dads, just like some mums, are
worse than useless!
--
Pat Winstanley
Are you saying that in all cases the child will make better spending
decisions than the parent regarding everyday needs such as food,
clothing, shelter etc?
--
Pat Winstanley
There is really very little difference in Child support and Alimony. A
number of years ago Alimony was stopped in all but the most extreme
cases, so some bright feminist came up with the idea "lets call it
child support", "who could argue with that".
In an earlier message I wrote:-
"What about school fees, bus passes, shoes, clothes, kids weekly
spending moneys? None of the above is deductible from any child care
money pay ed to the mother! Have a look at both parts of section 7 of
the act governing child care payments and expenses."
Some twit took this to mean I was paying for these items AS child
support. NO, these are in ADDITION to child support!
So, how about I just say, "the hell with these additional expenses"
and let the Ex pay it all out of the child support payments. That's
what it's for. This is not me saying this, It's the law.
It's time the Mothers, who are the ones getting the child support in
most cases, learned that they can't have there cake and eat it also!!!
http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/pluto.html
I can't find any mention of silly looking dogs here. Based on the facts
it does present, I don't see how a dog no matter how silly looking could
survive, let alone populate the planet.

Alright, I am not going to try to argue the symantics of being a
suppliment or not, I think it definately should be a suppliment though.
The legal system however does not treat it like a suppliment, because if
it were they would take into consideration the income of the parent who
is primary caregiver of the child. (I use primary caregiver as opposed
to custodial parent because I have joint custody, therefore I believe
that I am just as much a custodial parent as my ex, though the child is
not living with me, I am therefore not the primary caregiver, there is
probably another legal term I just can't think of right now) The child
support payments I make are based solely on MY income. How exactly is
this fair.
Based on my income I pay approximately $550 base payment a month for one
child. In theory if they were to calculate her income being
approximately equal to half of my income then technically I am paying
2/3 of raising the child, and she should be paying 1/3. So *MY* $550
plus *HER* $275 equals (drum roll), $825 per month, to raise one child.
Now this to me seems somewhat steep, considering at one point in time,
there was only a net income of $1200/month for the three of us to live
on. Though on the up side of this, my child gets to go to a private
school (guess public just isn't good enough) and she gets all the toys
she wants and is spoiled rotten (I have seen her room), yet by the time
I have paid all the expenses I have to pay out for my own personal cost
of living, there is not a lot I can do to 'compete' in the toy
department, and therefore, she likes *mommy* better. (wow, did that
sound bitter? I do realize that this is likely just a phase)
There is no accountability for the money, and please feel free to
correct me if I am wrong, but under the legal advice I had I was told
that I had no *right* to get a monthly budget of where the $550 I was
paying was going. I could request it, but the courts would never force
my ex to give me that information. So if the primary caregiver is not
required to present this information on request, then how are they held
accountable for the 20 packs of pokemon cards and the 30 stuffed animals
(pure bribery), and the legal fees that they are actually spending that
money on.
What it comes down to basically is that I do not think that the
guidelines that they have come out with is a fair way to assess the
amount of child support paid. I think that consideration of the
lifestyle *before* the separation should be taken into consideration (I
do think it is imporant to maintain the lifestyle the child has grown up
with) and should take into consideration *both* incomes. I don't think
that if the primary caregiver gets remarried that the new spouse should
take on the financial responsibilities, nor should their incomes even
factor into the equation, *unless* the primary caregiver's income
changes because of the new marriage (ie. they quit their job to become a
full time parent).
At least an ASSHOLE has a ***use****, unlike yourself.

Alimony is the definition of supplimenting the CP income.
Child support is not defined as income for the parent.
I'm sorry that you don't have the intellect to grasp the differences. But
then we should make you pay more taxes, since you think that Child Support
is an income suppliment.

No, the studies that show that the children that end up living with the
mother end up in jail, etc.. while the children that live with the father
don't. Sexual Abuse statistics show that only 4% of the time is the sexual
abuse perpetrated by the father, so guess what?

But in the vast majority of the cases, the child fares better with the
father.
We have two cases I personally know of in Toronto where one single child is
getting support payments of just over ten thousand dollars a month. What kid
needs $10,000 a month for pokeman cards????
If women paid child support there would be no laws jailing delinquents or
cancelling their passports or drivers licenses.

I happen to be a custodial parent, this however, was his father's choice as he felt
that it would be best for our son. He has never been denied access to our son.
Unfortunately this is not the case for all NCPs. I believe that NCPs should contribute
an appropriate amount to their child's welfare. In my case the amount I receive is not
even half of the daycare bill. Then there is clothing for a very growing boy on top of
this.
But this is NOT what is important. What IS important is that my son has a very good
relationship with his father. I believe that any parent who would deny their children
access to the other parent without an extremely good reason (i.e.. criminal reasons),
is doing their children a great disservice.

I do not think child support is an income supplement *for the CP*... it
is funds transferred to the CP to be spent *on the child*!!!
What relevance does your response have to the question asked (when the
CS is spent on the children how is it not support for the children).
If we were talking about the CS being spent on the CP that would be a
different issue, but my question was specific about how it could be
other than support for the child when it is spent on the child.
You might just as well say that the CS is supplementing the income of
the anonymous bank clerk through whose hands it passes en-route to its
final destination! Is that what you *really* think?
--
Pat Winstanley
Incorrect.
Show the studies that you believe say that.

Then why do you object to accountability for child support?

One more time: why then do you object to accountability for child
support?
> What relevance does your response have to the question asked (when the

Here's a question you, too, will ignore: how exactly is it determined
that child support monies are spent on the children when there is no
accountability?
> If we were talking about the CS being spent on the CP that would be a
> different issue, but my question was specific about how it could be

My question is equally specific: how can you assure that child support
monies are spent on the child if there is no accountability?
> You might just as well say that the CS is supplementing the income of
> the anonymous bank clerk through whose hands it passes en-route to its
> final destination! Is that what you *really* think?
More sophistry from the Mistress of Malarkey! And here is the proof:
No, one cannot "just as well say that the CS is supplementing the income
of the anonymous bank clerk through whose hands it passes en-route to
its final destination," as said clerk has no opportunity to enrich
herself with these funds--at the least not without great risk of being
caught and prosecuted. A custodial parent bears no such risk when
misusing child support monies.
Suppose you show any studies to support your assertion that Wilbur is
incorrect? Oh, I forgot: Winstanley Defence time, ie, "I say it is so;
therefore, it is so."
Well I completely agree with you there. In another post in this huge
thread I did make mention to the fact that the income of BOTH parents
should most definately be taken into consideration when setting the
amount of child support. As for paying $10,000 for child support, I
would have to say there is a need for more information there, as if
paying less would lower the standard of living from what the child has
grown accustomed to, then that amount is completely fair, *however*
probably a good idea to gradually decrease that amount over time, to
ease the child into a more realistic standard of living. Obviously this
is an extreme case, and IMHO $10,000 is way too much for child support
of any one child, but it really comes down to the standard of living
that the child has recieved throughout their life, and the
circumstances. I think the tables and calculations for child support
are very unfair to the non-resident parent.
On the topic of whether a female non-resident parent not paying child
support and not getting jailed, well, unfortunately I have not enough
research or information on that to have formed an educated opinion, but
purely on the basis of what would be fair, I would say that both women
and men should be treated equally and jailed if that is the punishment.
Though I agree that the legal system isn't that fair.

OK, so why no proof that ANY OF IT is spent on the child? The father can
go to jail if he misses a nickel for any reason, even if he's run over by a
truck, but a woman is totally unacccoutable.

The amount of money required for the support of the child is about 20% of
what is currently paid. Check out the ANCPR studies amoung others.

I'm sorry that you don't understand that it is EXACTLY that. The FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT is funding this entire process, and they are getting 5 cents on
EVERY DOLLAR PAID along with all of the taxpayer funding, claiming that
they ARE COLLECTING what was paid all along.

this refutation is an assertion.

Very true, it is always best if the child can be raised full time by a
parent rather than a third party, and it is unfortunate that it is not
always possible. I was a full time father for the first year and a half
of my daughters life. Unfortunately bills caught up with us and I had
to get back to work.

I will do my best, when he can provide (for analysis) the studies that
as far as I am aware don't exist except in his imagination! ;-))
He says there are studies... well, what are these studies? Where can we
see them?
In any case it is obvious he is incorrect since vast numbers of people
who do or have lived with a lone mother are not and have not been in
jail. I have no idea what the incidence is for the kids of lone fathers
but I would be amazed if NONE have or are in jail. Whether there are
differences in the proportions between the kids in jail from lone father
or lone mother households I do not know, but simple observation shows
that it isn't 100% of one and probably isn't 0% of the other either.
I'd like so see the studies that say it is 100:0.

Pat Winstanley
It's really a variable thing, both on the situations of the people
involved and also on the general family situation. For instance with
several small children it may be more economic (because of childcare
costs necessary with both parents out earning) for one to earn and the
other to do the childcare, or a combination or shifts... or it may not.
Rather depends upon what earnings are available at the time too.

Hmmm, well perhaps a point there. If you're going to simply say
"incorrect" then some refuting evidence may be in order. I still
believe the onus is on the person presenting "facts" to provide data
backing that position.

Another lame attempt at a personal attack... Sorry, Sammi, this one
fell flat, too. After all, it's quite obvious which of us is the sad,
bitter, lonely one. If you've not yet divined which, here's a hint for
you: look in your mirror.

I don't make the rules, but I know and obey them--and break them, when
the flow calls for it. What I find odd is that someone with such

recognise which of us was wrong--and admit your error, as you claim to
have done elsewhere.

Beg all you like, and differ all you will, it is not I who has ignored
all the precepts of organised debate throughout this exchange. By the
way, did no one ever tell you that ad hominem attacks--the very heart
and soul of your arguments--reveal the first to employ them effectively
admitting her position lacks substance?

This is known as "projection." You have projected your shortcomings

Well seeing as I don't have a position you're being very silly now.

>Groucho, though misquoted, is spinning in his grave.
Groucho never had anything against a misquote. If anything caused him
to spin it would be your distinct lack of humor and extreme self
righteousness.
Among other things, Popenoe says that:
(1) "One of the surprising findings of family-related research in recent
years is that the presence of stepfathers may actually aggravate
child-rearing problems and thereby increase the level of negative child
outcomes."
(2) A 1985 study of a representative sample of over 1,000 families
showed that children living with biological fathers exhibited the least
delinquency and children with stepfathers had the most disordered
behavior.
(3) A study by Sara McLanahan found that living in a stepfamily was no
better than living in a single-parent family in terms of child outcomes.
(4) The outcomes for children who lose their fathers through death,
rather than divorce, are not significantly worse than the outcomes for
children in two-parent families.
In short, the problem for children is divorce and illegitimacy. Some
nearby man cannot substitute for their fathers.
It's perfectly understandable that, for a variety of reasons, people
may convince themselves that the father is unimportant in the life of
children. For some, that may be a comforting thought. The problem is
that a substantial number of studies show otherwise.
