Full custody is only granted if one parent is unfit or agrees to it. Some parents would prefer to pay child support as opposed to having the responsibility of taking care of a child. State ordered CS is in place because traditionally men would walk away from their children to start a new family, and not provide support. The state was left with the financial responsibility of having to make up the gap.

The only advice I can give for my brothers on child support is keep your finances private. Keep your raises and promotions to yourself. Even when it comes to your kids the less they know the better because they report back everything they see and hear. It's difficult but try not to pay more than your court order because you will not get credit for it and the state will offer your child's mother an opportunity to raise your child support every 3 years especially when your income increases. If you can afford it please get an attorney to represent you because although you may have to pay $500 -$1,000 for them to represent you they can express to the judge your debt to income ratio and save you thousands long term. Wear a suit to court and be respectful to the judge. Keep in mind that child support is a business for the state and they have to meet a quota by putting you on. Child support is not a typical lawsuit where you can actually win. The odds are stacked against you. I've been on for 8 years and have a court date next month. I have 2.5 years to go and I will finally be finished. Please remember that nobody is honest about their income so if you can get your paycheck electronically save it to a PDF and play with those numbers a bit. Last but not least, if you have multiple sources of income no need to list them all. List your primary and keep the others private. It's the state you're dealing with and they don't have the capacity to check with your employer or the IRS to verify your income so they rely on you to provide the information. Be smart about your career moves, if you know it's been 3 years and a modification is coming don't accept any promotions or raises until after your court hearing. I know the women here will get mad at me but it's about self preservation.

Vlad needs to put out a compilation video of just the people he is interviewing talking about women,divorce and child support.

[@amsf1]

I have an idea. Stop knocking these women up. Never had a baby mama. Realized that's not it as a teenager and as we got older I saw all the bs my boys went through. Getting arrested, fired, license suspensions, fights, headaches, drama, all child support related. And 3 of them found out that they weren't even theirs. No thanks

This is a great example of how men deceive themselves when they say, "Women are emotional." Women can be very logical and duplicitous when they don't like you as a dude, it's just not FUN to be logical. Women choose to be emotional because it's instinctive and doesn't require as much effort as having to be logical, but when they want to hurt a dude, find out if he's cheating or get revenge they all have an inner Isaac Newton in them. As a man you always have to be prepared for the possibility that a woman might turn on you and you have to be ready to be vicious with her if she ever does. Gilbert managed to maintain the vast majority of his fortune because he was ready to go gangster on the mother of his kids.

If a judge sees that one parent is constantly filing motions, that’s when they hit you. My ex did that and his support would go up every time.

[@bernardtalbert6729]

This is exactly what Judge Mathis has warned guys about several times on his TV show. If you are not paying your child support through the state, the judge could decide to either accept your past history of payments, or he could ignore it. In this case, it sounded like the judge was an asshole and decided to just ignore it. That being said, in most states, you can only sue for so many years of back child support. I don't think any state would make you pay up to 18 years of back child support. Most of them limit it to like two years I think.

Keep in mind that if you were temporarily unemployed, it not only accumulates but once you start working again, once the child turns 18, you can still be on the hook to pay off the arrears before you returned to work. It depends on your state, check your state's laws.

[@capo4ever334]

7:25 it’s almost like the courts are admitting the child support isn’t actually for the child. It’s almost like they’re admitting that they know the baby mama is gonna mismanage the money if you’re allowed to pay an entire years child support up front because even if the father starts to make more money, you can always go back and readjust the new amount and have him pay the difference of the new amount. It was never about the children

[@mzprince4139]

Child support is spending money on children. Your 19 year old college student, needs financial support. That's why CS extends to include collegiate years. You also mentioned that your daughter was 19, but that you had only been paying CS for 10 years, and the other 9? As a mother that gets $300.00 a month in child support for a 10 year old, it does do much, it takes care of her extracurricular activities. Total cost of caring for her including private school tuition is easily 1800.00 a month. I would much rather we split time, instead of having sole custody. Most men want the accolades of being a father without sacrificing their time.

[@thund3rcats860]

[@drgeorgetayloriii4280]

This depends on the state. In some states, even if you document as child support but it's not going through the state (meaning you are paying directly to the recipient) then it can still be considered a gift. I know -- and as a result of trying to do the right things about 12 years ago, I had funds attached (thank goodness I had it) and taken. I always tell my brothers, go through the state. It's just easier and always, always lawyer-up. Even it you love your kid to pieces. Even if you are "cool" with the baby's mother. Go through the state - get the credit and lawyer-up.

[@mzprince4139]

Even if you love your kid? That's part of the problem. More men need to have at least joint custody, but not many are willing to sacrifice the time and commitment it takes to be a full time parent. So, the child support being paid not only includes living expenses, but the cost of childcare.

[@misterpowell6612]

You're right about when you mention depending on the state. In Texas it's all about paying the custodial parent and if the NCP has extra money left over, judges and lawyers will say pay the state or OAG directly.
