Gamblers could be nabbed for child support

I know that a couple years ago that they reported that it takes around $109,000 to raise a child from newborn to age 18. I have to date already paid $82,000. My daughter is now 9 years old so you do the math. So where is the other parents share. Pur friend of the court system in Michigan sucks. They stick it to the person paying and ignore those that are behind!! I also think some parents should be fair and work with others. Some of the support amounts that are set are out of some peoples means. Like Mine!! I am not saying that I am not responsible for my child because I will always support my child so don't think i am trying to get out of it. I also do not make that much money especially with our economy. FOc also gives a cost of living increase even if I do not recieve on. So as far as I am concern I do my share. I think deadbeat dads should step up to the plate.$10-20 a week is a start!

My congratulations to you that you are helping to raise your child. I am truly happy for you and your child(children).
You did make a good point there also with the staement that they go after the people paying and let the deadbeats go. Also the fact that Michigan FOC royally sucks!!!Amen to that one.
My ex was $19,000.00 behind in support before they would even put a bench warrant on him and only after he moved out of the state of Michigan did they do that.
I work my butt off to provide for my kids and every red cent I make goes to their well being and care. All I have ever asked for is what they deserve, no outrageous amounts just enough so they can have the things that they should be able to enjoy like every other child. I do not recieve any governmental help I do it on my own and that is the way I want it. But please remember that it takes 2 to make a baby and both parents should help with the cost and raising of a child. If more parents were like you then this would not be the epidemic that it has become.

Children of gamblers should get what they are owed
