Should you have to pay child support even if you take good care of your child?
Hey,
My boyfriend has a 5 yr old daughter by a greedy gold diggin' baby mama (which they do not get along at all!). His child lives with her mother. He takes much care of his daughter, buying her stuff that she needs/wants, spending time w/ her, picking her up from daycare, etc... Basically, he does everything a father is supposed to do. But still, the crazy baby mama has him on child support. If he's taking good care of his child now, then why do he have to be on child support if he's already supporting his child? Is there a way for him to legally stop paying child support as long as he continue to take care of his child? Dang, just because he don't live with her &the baby mama doesn't mean he should be put on child support! I think this is so unfair! He is already low income, so it's so hard for him to take care of her AND pay child support at the same time! I see no point in that! If he was a dead beat, then I would understand him paying child support. But he is not a deadbeat! He is a great father! Anyway, IS THERE A WAY FOR HIM TO LEGALLY STOP PAYING CHILD SUPPORT if he has proof that he's taking care of his child?
Please, this is a serious topic, no sarcastic or rude comments, please.
Thanks for all your help!:D
