NT, How Much Child Support Do You Pay?

Man the first time we got in a big argument and she pulled that whole, I can take the baby and put you on child support, threat.

Damb fam, this statement would never leave my mind, lf she already spoke it to existence she already thought about it before the argument.

Sounds like you make good bread, its better to spend the $ now talk to the lawyer about dual custody or whatever you need to do to make it so you dont pay child support.

Id totally ask if you need to start collecting any info on her now to help your case.
 
Not a penny. My kid lives with me.

Lawyer up if you're worried cuz if it goes to court, you're gonna need one anyway. KEEP RECORDS OF EVERYTHING. Especially if she's talkin crazy and threatening you with CS and court. Don't be reactionary, don't be a **** via texts/emails or whatever cuz that's evidence.

The most important thing is the lawyer really. If you're worried you need to have one at the ready. But keep it on the hush.

Datz I just saw your post I don't think you should be paying that much for a lawyer. My whole case was the price & it included the acknowledgement of paternity. Granted my cousin is my lawyer but I'd assume that's her going rate.

Fam that's $2500 just to file the paternity papers, not for help through the entire process. It's a black guy lawyer who be on the radio but I know he's going to be more, he's the one who was talking bout free consult but then his secretary was talking bout bring $500 if I want his advice. I got my daycare receipts, even my little daily pickup sheets, all the medical I paid on both of them, well over $6,000 and my taxes and stuff ready at the drop of a dime. I take them to my Mom's house and have her stash them. She's gonna look type bad anyways because right now she be playing the system telling them she doesn't know who the daddy is and is a single mom (uses her Mom's address even though she's living her) and things like that so she can maximize her food stamps, free healthcare, wic, etc.

You're BM is a piece of work man. How did she lock you down, please tell me it wasn't a one night stand or friend with benefits. That **** is a sin in my opinion.

hold up, how did this come to be? your BM just let you get custody because she knew living with you would be the best situation for your child?

I ask because the rest of your post made it seem as if you didn't go to court but were ready just in case.
 
You should have married that chick sleazy. She bad then a mf'er.

We made the decision together. A lot of factors went into it but the short of it is our daughter is in a better position in my care. She started living with me full time 2.5 years ago. Her mom and I were together in high school and you know how that goes. When she was living with her mom I was still making illegal money, smashing random broads every weekend, out wilin out, just being a boy pretending to be a man. She threatened me with CS and all that. By direction of my old heads I sought legal advice and I pass along the tips that they gave me. It's very hard for men but you can make it easier on yourself if it really comes down to it.

I had an epiphany one day thinking about my deadbeat *** father and something just changed in me. She saw that in me and our relationship rebuilt and we are best friends. Common friends with kids who aren't with their kids parent tell us all the time they envy how we move. The system we have set up now allows us both to do everything we need to do to better our own situations and keep our child happy. She doesn't have a tight knit family like I do, so I think being allowed to integrate into mine while we aren't even together has a lot to do with how this turned out.

I got very, very lucky with how this all turned out. I don't deserve it, I treated her like **** and am amazed we're where we are now. I'm thankful every day.

We might get there one day. As of Jan 14, 2017 though - marriage is not in my future :lol:



OP, talk to your BM man. A lot of **** is avoidable if you just talk and hash things out. It gets easier when you can both stop treating the child like a burden or a pet and think of what is best for your seed.

I pay $700 a month and on paper I get him every other weekend, BUT I actually get him every weekend and twice a week depending on my work schedule she has 2 businesses to run so she's always back and forth , I know I can go back to the courts so they can lower it but I really don't care how much I pay cuz every time I see my son he looks happy and healthy

I got plenty of advice for you hit the inbox. I paid 1000 a month for 1 kid for 8 years. Now i have custudy of him and she pays me now. Best feeling in the world :pimp:

Nah man just hit the thread with the knowledge.

I don't have kids but i want to stash all this info in a corner of my head if need be.

Best advice i can give is DO NOT GET THE COURTS INVOLVED!!!!!!!! They do not care about you her or the kid. All they want is money. I was paying 600 bucks a year just for them to take the money out my check on top of my CS

TALK TO HER!!! Your both adults(i hope) work it out. You will be surprised what a nice talk will do for you.

Workout payments with her. DO NOT GIVE HER CASH. Open a bank account and deposits all payments and document everything.

I got more just ask my any question.

Bruh I pay $900 a month for my ONE 4 year old, joint custody, and my co-parent makes a little more than me a year :smh:

And its only $900 because I took her back to court to get it reduced from 1100 :x

I could real live have her come up missing for less than what I pay
Even if I made millions that 900 would bother me.

I feel for you fam.

You guys are playing a dangerous game. My advice would be to get the courts involved EARLY. Take the specter of her claiming you gave her nothing and limiting access to the child away. I've known a few people who did the "I just give her money every month" game. Inevitably, something happens and she gets pissed...you getting married, having another child, etc...and starts limiting the access to the child and claiming that you've given her less than she should have received. Back child support is NO JOKE. Go to court, get your support and visitation established and if she pulls any funny business, she's in violation of a court order. I'm not saying that your approach can't work. I'd just be really careful...
 
^^^Im with this guy. Trying to keep the courts out is very dangerous. Don't ever forget, every situation is different, as is what happens in different states, so what happens for one guy won't necessarily happen with the other. From what you posted, I'd find a good lawyer now.

Only time I see kids get to stay with the father is if the mom is crack head status or something.
