Pay Your Child Support (Part 1)

I often hear so many excuses on why an absent parent shouldn't have to pay child support or why a woman shouldn't file for child support for her child/children. If an absent parent can buy new clothes, make car notes, pay his bills, buy food to put in his mouth, spend money on entertainment........What is holding him back from taking financial responsibility for his child/children? Many people say things like "Money is not everything" or "Time is better than money". Let's step into reality everyone and face the facts.  A child cannot eat time. A child cannot cover himself/herself with time. A child cannot use time to start a college fund.

The truth is, having a child/children in the home creates many expenses like extra gas to get the children around, extra food, school supplies, clothing, shoes, toys, recreational activities. Anti child support online activists fail to think about how much money is need to raise a child. Even if the absent parent comes around to give hugs and kisses, the child still needs financial support. Many deadbeat parents come up with ever excuse to not support their children. Whether you hate the other parent, or you live in another state, or you are struggling. You still have obligations to your child. You can't call the light or gas company and tell them that you are not paying and you would like to "Spend Time" to cover the bill. You cannot go to a grocery store and get food and  pay the cashier with "Time" That is not how the world works. Everybody should know that, but still deadbeat parents will come up with every excuse on why they can't provide for their children.
