I am really confused. The father of my child has so far refused to be around, let alone pay for child support. I really dislike him. Part of me wants to go the child support agency and demand support. But part of me wants him to be out of our life alltogether and do not want to bother getting into contact with him again. What should I do? I am really confused about this issue and keep thinking about it... |

Paying support does not mean he will be part of the childs life. Some men/women, don't want to be parents they pay support becuase they have to but don't ever want to be a part of the childs life. You also have to look at your reasons for not wanting him to be part of your childs life. I understand there are always legitamate reasons for not wanting someone to be around. But there are many reasons for having the father around, kids need to know who thier father is, Lexies dad hasn't seen her since she was 6 months old, and though I have issues with him, many of them are because he is not a part of her life, nor does he pay support. Yes he cheated on me and treated me like cr*p but, he would have never hurt her. And she deserved to know her father and that part of her history, she is 14 now and I doubt she will ever really know him or that part of her history/background. All i am saying is make sure that the reasons you don't want him around are legitament and not ones that your child will come and ask you about and blame you for one day. Either way it is his responsibilty to pay support, no if ands or buts, your child deserves it  |
