If as a mom, you are advocating terminating the relationship with Dad, you need to take full financial and all other responsibility.  If you believe a child is capable of making those decisions, great, help them get emancipated and let them support themselves if you are not willing.  Lots of options.  You should not except Dad to be an ATM without a relationship.  Would you send a check to a stranger every month?  Of course not![/quote]

You are a predictable parrot with your "just terminate Dad's rights" ditty.

Having a relationship with your child is WORK.  Fathers are not excepted from it, least of all fathers who who have 50/50 and have ample time and opportunity to build strong bonds with their children.   If kids don't want to go to their father's house, the father should work on making them want it.  Children are not performing monkeys.

You seem to have a very weird views of father/child relationship where fathers condition child support on having a good time with their children.  It doesn't work that way.  Raising a child is not like getting a massage where you can walk out if it doesn't feel good.  There are times when it's hard and unpleasant, and parents need to work at it.  Fathers are not exempt. If kids are recoiling from their father, he needs to work to repair the relationship - just like he would if they were under the same roof.  Kids don't kiss hands and curtsy in exchange for coins anymore, you're about two hundred years late for that type of arrangement. [/quote]
