how dare u use common sense

OP should just stop paying it and leave the country

u/letmethinkasecond avatar

I pay child support even though I have 50% legal and physical custody. This is of course on top taking care of my child in the first place. Some situations are different.

Give me a good valid reason why objecting to have kids is "selfish" especially when you are in financinal debt

u/Unlucky_Me_ avatar

It's not selfish. It's actually you considering how terrible your child's life would be while you were struggling. My wife and I deciding at a young age that we wouldn't have a kid until we owned a home. You should be financially stable before bringing a child into the world

He didn't say that

More replies

Well lets be fair. I don't see this as OP acting like it's not his fault.

I mean, there’s scenarios where the guy doesn’t have much choice. Birth control could fail, condom could be tampered with.

Unless you’re telling people to remain celibate

u/nujuat avatar

One might expect both parents to contribute equally though

u/91816352026381 avatar

That’s why you don’t become a parent if you’re not going to live a life that can afford it

Yes that’s what child support is supposed to be. You provide some money to the other parent who is raising the child the majority of the time.

Yes, that’s why he’s paying child support to the mother who, I’m assuming, the child is primarily living with. Either split it 50/50 or one can contribute with time while the other contributes with money.

Just do what 12.8% of American households do... starve. Whatever you do though, don't ask for a handout. That's for the airlines, banks and auto manufacturers.

And farmers. Remember us a subsidy when they get money and its welfare when it goes to people and minorities

Farmer here don’t put us in the same category as banks and airlines

Yall are the biggest welfare queens in the country and your group consistently votes against social service for others while benefiting from socialist policies more than any other group.

Also in my state the corn farmers actively work with alcohol companies to keep weed illegal fuck them

12% of American households are food insecure; that's not even close to starvation. There are so few people in America starving that they had to invent a new term to find problems. This is extremely dishonest.

America literally had a massive problem with its poor being obese. That's not starving.

Source: "Trust me bro"

Are poverty and obesity associated? Poverty rates and obesity were reviewed across 3,139 counties in the U.S. (2,6). In contrast to international trends, people in America who live in the most poverty-dense counties are those most prone to obesity (Fig. 1A). Counties with poverty rates of >35% have obesity rates 145% greater than wealthy counties.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198075/

Interesting. However, to keep with the original intent of your comment though, here's an article which states that those most prone to obesity are those who experience food insecurity. Just because someone's obese doesn't mean they always have ready access to food.

Have you considered tax evasion and after that with the money saved by not paying taxes fleeing to south america or south-east asia to avoid the child support?

what did u do to pay child support?? we need lore

Let me tell you a little bit about the birds and the bees...

u/straightfromLysurgia avatar

please do me and my husband cannot have a child :( crazy a r/memes user already paying for it though

When a bird and a bee love each other very much, the bee puts his endophallus in the birds cloaca. After an undefined amount of time, an abomination is born because birds and bees are not reproductively compatible.

u/VictoryVee avatar

I mean, technically it's a risk every guy needs to accept when they have sex, but it's still shitty when it happens. And the only way to avoid that risk completely is to never have sex, even if married. Like driving to work is a risk, but I don't blame the guy who gets T-boned despite obeying road laws. She could poke a hole in the condom, fish it out of the trash, lie about being on birth control. Maybe they were married and she cheated on him or became abusive? Who knows?

Okay technically you are right but let’s be honest, the vast majority of guys paying child support are dumbasses who had risky unprotected sex or no birth control or both. Obviously shit can happen though

u/VictoryVee avatar

Oh yeah he probably deserves it, I'm just playing devils advocate. Gotta be extra pedantic on reddit. Plus I'd feel bad if OP got roasted in the comments despite doing nothing wrong.

"every guy accepts" USE A CONDOM. OR THE MALE BIRTH CONTROL. OR PULL OUT. OR HAVE AN OPEN CONVERSATION why would you have sex with someone you don't even trust to use her birth control properly???

u/VictoryVee avatar
Edited

You realize those methods all fail, right? There is no 100% effective birth control. If you have sex, you might get the girl pregnant, simple as that. And yes, sometimes people pretend to be nice, make you think you can trust them, but its turns out that was a bad call. God people are dumb

Could have been raped, just as easily as a condom or birth control both failed and the girl refused to not have the child. I mean, it's less likely but it's still a possibility.

I know it can happen, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. But tell that to those who don't like what I'm saying.

Child support is gnarly. Had a guy who worked for us for a little bit who had 7 kids with 3 baby mamas. Legit took 50% of his paycheck.

But its pretty easy to not have child support. 28 and still no kids, and im pretty much always in a relationship. Im waiting till im solid financially and can give them everything i want to without having to sacrifice what i want.

Kill the ex and the child

You'll get free food for life too

my dude minimum wage here in my country is 17k and average livable place rent is 22k

Well the secret is to not have kids. The diaper manufacturers don't want you to know this but you will save so much money.

Just don't have kids

u/Willing_Round2112 avatar

Start with not making kids, lol

Wear a condom dipshit

How the fuck do you not know that he wasn’t married and he shares custody with his ex?

You still pay child support despite sharing custody ass hat.

If you can't afford a kid don't have one. It's the simplest rule to not ending up broke

You do understand that circumstances change over time right? He might not have the same job and things have gotten more expensive for everyone.

No this is Reddit. Every man should never have sex until they are ready for a child and making over 100k.

Dumb question. So when people say child support do they mean the child support payments they have to do after divorce or are they simply refering to the cost of raising children?

In divorce…. Also monies awarded to the custodial parent

No salary no problem. Roll back to natural exchange.

Easy fix, invent time travel, don't have kids, stay single and live with your family until you save up 2 million dollars

You could try to dispute you child support in court, saying you give too much and you are left with no money but it could backfire and give you even more to pay

Become homeless or have your child live with you

You wouldn't have to pay rent if you bought a house.

The concept of being responsible with your money shouldn't cause such incredulity. Living within your means isn't some financial secret.

Live within your means harder! If you have a 50k job and reduce your expenses to 0, you can pay for that house in only 30 years!

I'm tired of escalating this bullshit, btw. These people are insane. Cost of living is ever increasing, wage is stagnating and there are still people saying "idk man try eating in more?" to people who eat out like 5 times a year.
