Child Support

Child support is a court-ordered rule that makes both the mother and the father pay until his or her 18th birthday. It seems that when the mother gets full custody of the child or children, then the divorced father must get a job in order to pay financial support. But t seems to me that the dads are refusing to give the mothers of their children money because for one, some of them will have used their past against them, and two, that they're using their own children for financial gain. But according to the child support laws, the fathers can't obtain all visitation rights, which it will have allowed them to have seen their kids unless he pays the full amount to the mother. The ones who have custody of their children don't have to pay, but the ones who don't have custody of them must pay child support. Everybody knows that not paying child support is against the law in all 50 states, including Missouri. the dead-beat dads who are planning on not paying child support or trying to skip on their own children and the mothers will go to jail for 2 years and get a $10,000 fine, and if these men owe the women and the courts a lot of money in back child support payments, they're in financial trouble. So my suggestion is for all of the would-be fathers to step up to the plate and help these women raise their children because all of the mothers in America can't raise their children alone. And if they don't want to raise children like responsible fathers, then these men shouldn't be real fathers at all and left these women alone.
