I have been paying it for a long time. I don't think it's right for a woman or man to have to pay more than necessary to support a child.
Both parents should be involved in parenting.
She said that both men and women have a responsibility to financially take care of their children and work hard.
She believes that people use child support to make ends meet when they can't earn their own money.
The way many laws are set up, people are allowed to use children in order to live a lifestyle that not only did they not earn, but that is way above and beyond the child's reasonable needs, and that is wrong.
She sympathized with men who are given the short end of the stick by child support.
I can tell you that it is hard. She said she understood the feelings of the men who felt they had been taken advantage of.
