[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes it is fair. And I read your other whiny post. It seems like you didn’t think through the reality of divorce and the impact on being a single parent with a single income. Child support is not meant to cover every single expense related to your children. It is a portion and you also must be contributing a portion. You can’t pretend your situation has not changed both in term so financial impact and career impact. I always warn friends who are thinking of divorce to really think it through and understand what is going to happen and what their situation will really be post divorce.[/quote]

There's at least one guy on this board who always posts as if divorce is 100% the woman's fault, and that any woman with sole custody must have somehow done coersive witch magic to get it.

In my experience, it is much more common for the man to bail on the kids, at least for some short period of time. Often this happens in cycles, as his personal life waxes and wanes. So sometimes he wants the full 50% and sometimes he just kind of drops away for a while. Meanwhile, the XW has to manage the kids' feelings about their father's cyclical lack of interest, as well as doing the vast majority of the parenting.

It isn't common for men to bail and it really is pathetic you are so negative and hostile to men/Dad's.  Often the mom gets full custody for more child support and dad gets limited visitation.  If you have full custody you cannot complain the impact it has on your life as you can always share custody or give custody to Dad.

Just because you had a child with a terrible husband/father doesn't mean that is true of all men.

OP has full custody so that means she does 100% of everything.  Child support was probably done by guidelines at the time of the divorce.  Dad also pays extra's.  He is paying his fair share and if she thinks otherwise she can file in court and ask for more.  Simple.

However, this is fake as someone keeps posting an away husband and complaining and never does anything about it.

She can also call Dad, tell him he needs to come back to the states ASAP as he needs to take the kids full time as she's done parenting.  Done.  It relives her of her duties but she'll have to pay child support.[/quote]
