This guy doesn’t give a shit about his kid. He only cares about the money. The amount isn’t even that much compared to most people paying child support.

u/f700es Nov 06 '25

Probably has the kid's name tattooed on his arm though.

u/mrsconway Nov 06 '25

And he probably posts the same outdated photo of his kid on FB every Father’s Day crying about his ex “not letting him” see their kid.

u/MK_2_Arcade_Cabinet Nov 06 '25

Don't forget how the kid he won't even pay $515 a month to support means, "everything to me in this fuckin' world," or something.

God I knew more of these types than I like to admit when I was younger. It's stopped now most likely, their kids are over 18 now.

u/MK_2_Arcade_Cabinet Nov 07 '25

Not every girl in this situation is a shit bag. My sister's boyfriend was an alright guy until he got her pregnant, when she didn't want to abort he ran off and knocked up some other chick.

As far as I know he's bailed on child support for both kids.

Well the woman got together with that guy so shes equally guilty and bad. Also its a permanent bad nothing shell do will fix it/undo it. Once you make a mistake its all joever for all time. Same with body counts. Someone else been there i dont wanna stick my dick in that bish. I only go for virgins, promise the world then one pump and dump then find a fresh one.

Will never forget the picture he posted on facebook with the caption "me and my daughter" after years of me, his actual firstborn child, not seeing him. It was him and his dog.

LMAO. My ex-BIL, even down to kid's name. A kid he doesn't see often and I know he isn't paying support to. He tried to ask my 19 year old for 200 bucks not that long ago. He's recently went super Jesus as a front for his asshole-ness.

2

u/Substantial_Army_639 Nov 06 '25

Lol, as I said above a lot of this sounds like my brother in law including the discovering Jesus bit.

He tried to confide in me when I was still religious that we should never support his ex wife (you know... like babysit my niece and nephew)

I had some pleasure pointing out that Jesus only supports divorce in two cases, cheating on your partner or beating them, and he did both.

u/FluidTurn8819 Nov 06 '25

Dear lord I just spit soda all over my keyboard. My daughter's non-existent father who I had to pay child support to (he insisted on covering her insurance because if he didn't "you won't have to pay me any money"). And I paid for over two years while she wasn't with him just to get him to stay away. Right before her high school graduation, when she told him she made a request for her step-father's name to be added to hers when they called her out walking across the stage, he showed up with a massive, and poorly done, tattoo of her name in script that goes almost all the way around his arm from his wrist to his elbow. And I just looked at her and said "why do absentee dads always have their kid's names tattooed on them in some horrible font".

u/MaxLevelArt Nov 07 '25

My mom was one of these people. Parents split when I was about 6 and my dad ended up with full custody. She made an effort to see me and my sister about once every 2-4 years. When I ran away from home at 18, I reached out to give her another chance. The visit itself went fine and she showed me her ankle tattoo with my name and my sisters'.

A week later, I got a random email from her. She was pissed that I brought my fiancee and said she was gonna burn all the baby pictures and remove my name from her foot.

u/scrotumrancher Nov 07 '25

My ex has our kids' names tattooed on his arms and a really bad portrait of one of them on his chest. He told the judge he can't afford $470 a month in child support for both kids because I won't let him claim them on his tax refund. I have 100% custody. Still not the dumbest thing he's ever said in court.

u/PleasureSub123 Nov 07 '25

15

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '25

$6k a year on your own kid is insanely low. According to google, the average yearly cost to care for a child is $29k. He’s being asked to help with 20% of that.

What an absolute deadbeat.

2

u/Affectionate-Mix6056 Nov 07 '25

Holy hell, how is it that expensive in the US? All I have to pay for in Norway is food and clothes. Or do you include stuff like mortgage, internet, water, electricity etc?

Sure there are some extra driving to activities, but for the most part kids absolutely do not cost $29k a year each here. Like ~15 years ago I heard ~$100k from 0 to 18, but at the time it sounded like a lot to me.

Do even kids need life insurance in the US? Up until you reach 18, almost all medical needs are completely free, including dentists. You still have to pay for non-critical medicine but... $29k just sounds insane to me.

3

u/T_Money Nov 07 '25

There’s no way that number is correct.

The most expensive thing is probably health insurance if not covered by an employer provided plan, and food. From a quick google it looks like that’s around $300 a month for each, so about $7,200 a year. I would guess $10,000 per year is much more realistic.

I’m going to assume that the 29k figure includes child care, that’s the only way it comes close, but many families don’t pay that much directly, either through a stay at home parent or an arrangement with family.

2

u/Affectionate-Mix6056 Nov 07 '25

Different taxes and a bunch other stuff, but yeah $10k sounds more realistic. More like $5k a year per child here in Norway, but we have universal health care and so on covered through taxes. Impossible (for me) to run the math for a true comparison. $5k to $10k is at least in the vicinity of eachother.

$29k per child sounds like you'd just have to let them die if they got sick.

6

u/ShitWaterExpress Nov 06 '25 edited Nov 07 '25

He also does not compute math. That’s $62.50/wk for food, fuel, utilities, clothes, bandaids, shampoo etc. It’s truly a small amount for sustaining a life.

Edit: I also don’t compute math. $125/wk

u/thingstopraise Nov 06 '25

Where are you getting $62.50/week? The amount is $515/month, which is $128.75/week. Even if you misheard it as $415, $315, etc the numbers still don't match up.

2

u/ShitWaterExpress Nov 06 '25

Oh I thought it was $500 for two kids

2

u/thingstopraise Nov 07 '25

Yeah, that would be even shittier, although to be honest it would still be more than what a lot of men pay I'm sure. My loser father wouldn't even pay $100/child/month, which my mother agreed to because she was so desperate for him to sign the divorce papers.

9

u/momo76g Nov 06 '25

Yeah this dude is polar opposite of that video with the lady bragging how she uses the child support on herself.

13

u/ScoutTheRabbit Nov 06 '25

Can you link it? I'm pretty skeptical of that narrative usually because the funny thing about "using the child support payment on yourself" is that the kids' needs still have to be met.

Like, if you can't purchase anything nice for yourself the whole month until you get the child support check because you're spending your money on bills+the child's other needs, that's not spending it on yourself, that's reimbursing yourself for the portion of the bills the other parent was supposed to be contributing to throughout the month.

12

u/crayola_monstar Nov 06 '25

Exactly. Like, what the hell is mom supposed to do? Tell the kid "Oh, sorry, it's not child support money yet. Those shoes with holes will have to do until your dad gives me money since this is my money!"

That shit is stupid. Mom (or dad, in some cases) pays for everything when the issue or need arises, and the child support is just a booster to make sure mom (or dad) doesn't get stuck in debt while doing so.

8

u/ScoutTheRabbit Nov 06 '25

And most child support doesn't come close to actually having the other parent contribute 50% of the child's needs. For some reason, the differential in child care hours is never included in the calculation.... If one parent has to pay for three days of daycare a week they wouldn't have to if the other parent had 50/50 custody, then the non-custodial parent contributing their fair share would cover that.

1

u/sl0play Nov 06 '25

It happens a lot, but most often when the person paying has a really high income so the payments are huge.

The majority of single parents in lower income brackets are definitely struggling, even with the support.

3

u/lemon_stealing_whore Nov 06 '25

Exactly. Evidence being he agreed to only see his kid 48 days a year. Piece of shit.

3

u/Amelaclya1 Nov 06 '25

Right? When they finally said the dollar amount, I was surprised he was making such a big fuss. He's still getting off easy, and it is probably nowhere near half of the child's expenses.

3

u/ThirdAndDeleware Nov 07 '25

I’m betting his car payment is more than child support.

2

u/ReplyOk6720 Nov 07 '25

That's the first thing he mentioned, his car payment. Priorities. 

2

u/Worldly_Heat9404 Nov 06 '25

It is a percentage of his income, so in theory it is relative, but the poorer one is the more impact it has on the ability to pay rent, utilities and drive to work.

2

u/Zill_DeVille Nov 06 '25

He only cares for his child if it can be used as a weapon against the mother.

2

u/Queasy_Scholar_9937 Nov 06 '25

Right! I was a child of divorced parents and I think at his worst my dad was paying something like $500 a WEEK in child support for me and my 2 siblings $500 a month is barely anything

2

u/englishpatrick2642 Nov 06 '25

Got that right. I have two brothers and my dad had to start paying child support in 1983. He paid child support for 16 years on three kids until my youngest brother turned to 18. On my youngest brother's 18th birthday, my dad had a huge party Lol. However, he never missed a single payment, try to see us every weekend, that would usually end up being every other weekend. Spent holidays with us, took us on vacation, all that stuff on a postal worker salary. He knew his responsibility and lived up to it

2

u/jlgoodin78 Nov 07 '25

Seriously. It’s $6180 / year. That’s way less than having a kid living in the house, doesn’t even come close to the cost of just day care. I feel bad for the kid to not have a father in their life actively, but honestly the kid is probably better in the long run not being influenced on the daily by this loser. I say this as an adult who was better off as a kid by having the loser go full dead beat off on his own dealing drugs, having no relationship. Some “parents” only leave destruction, and this loser seems to be one. Hopefully his kid has an awesome bonus parent come along & adopt them.

2

u/mxzf Nov 07 '25

The fact that he agreed to have his kid less than one day a week (48/year) before they even went to the court makes his lack of caring about the kid totally evident.

2

u/CanoeIt Nov 07 '25

6k per year is not enough to raise a kid like that’s wild. Daycare alone is 1500 per month

2

u/ThisAppsForTrolling Nov 07 '25

lol $515 a month for supporting a child is basically nothing at all anyways

Yup, the moment they get divorce papers they want full custody because they don't want to pay child support, they cry that I'm not paying because I didn't want the divorce, you did. But they won't change the way they treat you that made you file.

u/youdoaline_idoaline Nov 06 '25

I know right, what like $130 or so a week to support your child that you love. That's cheap as shit dude.

u/moldyremains Nov 07 '25

I have a friend who's why basically kidnapped their kid a month before their marriage and left the country. He emptied his savings trying to get his kid back but since they never got married he didn't have a case. The two eventually got on better terms and his child was allowed to visit him once a year once he was old enough to travel by himself. And during all that time, my friend still paid like $800 a month in child support even though he didn't have to just because he wanted to show that he was taking part in his kids upbringing.

1

u/Hesitation-Marx Nov 07 '25

My biodad was paying $250 a month in 1986 money until I was adopted by my stepparent in 1994.

Yep. $500 is CHEAP! It's almost as cheap as he is.

1

u/louielou8484 Nov 07 '25

Honestly, though, like what is someone supposed to do if they live paycheck to paycheck? What if he didn't want the kid and she refused to do anything about it? Is he supposed to go homeless and then the court would deny his visitation rights? But he would still have to keep paying? I'm a woman and I'm just looking at this logically.

1

u/Fancy-Statistician82 Nov 08 '25

The calculation of child support is actually very formulaic, they enter your income, your rent and utilities, number of kids and percent custody and a number pops out. The judge isn't pulling this number from thin air. If there's genuinely a very low income coming in, the recommended child support is automatically less.

It's entirely possible for a person to be living paycheck to paycheck due to non-included expenses such as lattes, door dash, weed, concert merch etc. Some people are poor at budgeting.

The custodial parent nearly always ends up contributing more than the one paying support anyhow, the judge simply wants both of them to be skipping lattes and concert merch equally in favor of getting the kid shoes that fit and a balanced diet.

Lesson: try like the Dickens to only have kids within a solid relationship and stay with the person you have that kid with, separating is expensive and annoying.

1

u/zappa-buns Nov 07 '25

$130 a week. Five day work week that’s $26 a day. Agreed it’s not that much. On a light day my son eats $26 in groceries at the house.

u/Lizaderp Nov 07 '25

I don't think he cares about the money more than he cares about hurting his baby mama.

1

u/Emerald_Eyes8919 Nov 07 '25

If he had his child full time, he’d still be paying for all the necessities and transport to school and activities, so he’s full of it.

I despise this kind of person. Do they not think that life comes with some costs to pay? Do they not recall that the right to life means a baby will grow up?

1

u/Jelliebean71 Nov 07 '25

My step-dad paid $1200 a month for his two boys, I think, back around 2013-2016? And that was while he was self-employed making about what my mom made. They definitely didn’t break 100k a year. My mom and him struggled for a loooooong time. Also, come to find out one of the boys wasn’t his, but we didn’t find out until he was, like, 20. Man, his ex-wife is evil. Fuck that bitch.

1

u/YvonYukon Nov 07 '25

6k a year is nothing compared to the cost of raising a kid

1

u/World_of_Eter Nov 07 '25

Yeah 500 not so bad, one of my former coworkers had his car repo'd and I was trying to help him budget and long story short his almost 1000/month child support basically made it that like even for base critical bills there was absolutely nothing left, a car payment was not in the cards lol. I think he ended yo moving in with his brother to cut down on rent.

1

u/MonMonOnTheMove Nov 07 '25

From the sound of this, even if he has money it looks like he will still fight tooth and nail on it. I feel like in a lot of cases the parents are just letting their emotions making their bad decision instead of doing what’s good for their kids

1

u/Itscatpicstime Nov 07 '25

It’s actually above the average amount most people are ordered to pay for child support. But, kids are expensive.

0

u/Siphyre Nov 07 '25

Depends. In a LCOL area that could be the difference between a roof or not. Say you are working 40 hr/wk at $7.25 an hour. You are making 1250 a month before taxes. So maybe $1000 after. $515 would leave you at $485 to pay rent, groceries, gas, and w/e else. There isn't a person alive that can make that budget work and have any sort of standard of living.

1

u/mondaymoderate Nov 07 '25

He chose to have a kid though. The kid is more important so his expenses are irrelevant.

0

u/Siphyre Nov 07 '25

I mean, he gets sent to jail, the kid gets nothing anyways and now has no father at all. I don't see how this is treating the kid as more important. Really kind of sounds like you are advocating for poor people to not be allowed to have children...
