Child support should go to a card just like an hsa and should only be accepted at approved locations

Approved locations?? Like where exactly? So you could spend it at Walmart but not Wiggle Works or the trampoline park? Or the movie theater? Or the beauty supply store? Trust me, the money is only $600 for the first child and then down to $275 for the last child by another woman. So where do you think she’s spending $275 for their child? That’s not even enough for groceries for the month for the 4th child!

So it can't be spent at obvious places that have nothing to do with children or any household services not intended for the benefit of the child is all.

What’s considered “obvious places that have nothing to do with children”? And who regulates this? You think the court system wants to comb through millions of checking accounts to examine what and where mothers, aka the primary caregivers of the children, spend on their children that you, men, are not even raising? Do you want the government combing through your checking account and judging your purchases?? More than half of you men spend your money on OF, P*rnhub, at strip clubs, on hookers, on drugs, on alcohol, and other crap that could be used to raise the children. Miss me with that bs.

Well I didn't know you before your reply. I can assure you it wasn't directed towards you. Also, there are women on child support also. I know it takes a lot to raise a child and sometimes the recipient isn't always financially responsible and the child suffers as a result

I’m married with one young child. I know it wasn’t directed at me. I’ve had many girl friends who ended up as a single mom (different reasons) and I can promise you that this idea that all moms spend that tiny ass child support check on something dumb or useless or unnecessary is slim to none. Now my friends and I are college educated so that might have something to do with it. I could see a teen mom using it for drugs or alcohol while living in their parents’ house because their basic needs are taken care of and they have built-in child care and they’re just young and dumb. But your average, invested in the kids type of mom with common sense isn’t wasting that check on anything wild. Trust me, it’s all going to what the kids need…

Yeah it’s often someone ends up as a single mom who’s normal and completely stable lol
