Good Dads and Child Support

I have talked to three mom's this week who said their ex's were great 'dads' to the children. I ask them how the visitations and custody exchanges go, they reply 'a little hard' on the kids. Then I begin to ask 'Why'. Dad's don't see them very often or when we do we get into fights. 'Are they paying their child support?' I ask them. No, but they are great with the kids when they see them.

I know another mom who lived with a guy since the kids were in diapers, they are now early teens. This dad may not be the 'bio' dad, yet there is the emotional connection. He raised them from babes, he is their role model (a sad one it turns out).

This morning I was talking to a younger mom (younger than me) who said 'he is good with the kids'. When I asked how it is going, 'well a little hard to drop the girls off Friday', she replied. 'He just bought a new house for he and his girlfriend, with the inheritance from his grandmother. He let the condo go, so I am now in subsidized apartment with the kids.'

When queried regarding the CHILD SUPPORT she echoed his standard answer, 'he can not afford it, tho he helps when he can!'

I am going on record right now, THAT IS BS!!!!!!!!! A dad has every responsibility to pay that child support. If it is too much show the court why! If it is because he wants to go out and buy new houses, motorcycles, boats and cars so he can go play with younger women with out the stretch marks, he doesn't deserve it!!!!

Mom's need to stand up for these kids!!! Screw these deadbeats!!!!!!! Protecting children is more than shooting dogs! Protecting them is making sure these men live up to their obligations!!!!!! Quite being so nice! Mom's that do this are only hurting their children's future by stifling what is truly belonging to these children!!!

I heard on the Tom Leykis show several years ago the state of Washington has a law for men and children who have a 'father/child' relationship. Meaning if you have raised the kids, you pay.

(This is to be treated as hearsay, the reader should check this out for themselves. I am not an attorney. I am a Realtor hence the disclosure).

If the parents have fallen out of respect and 'love', so be it. However, the kids shouldn't have to suffer while daddy goes out and plays with the younger model!!!!!!

Our society is in disarray enough without men walking out on their responsibilities.

Polanski

The thought that Roman Polanski could escape our justice system because he is 'an icon in France and Poland' and is a 'Holocaust survivor whose wife was murdered by the Manson clan' is distastefully rude!


Is it okay to rape thirteen year old girls in Poland or France? Furthermore, how does the sexual violence and oppression of a thirteen year old square with the the victimization of what the Nazi's did to six million Jews. Where is the outcry of continued victimization?

This esteemed director was convicted of raping a thirteen year old, then fled the US to keep from going to prison to serve out his time!

What were/are his consequences?

So, he has to stay under house arrest.

Star name actors still do his movies! So, he is not able to walk the red carpet. Ouch, that is cetainly going to hurt his ability to move about and direct other films!

The former Zurich prosecuter says 'it is not even clear if the Americans want him anymore!' Oh, yes! Many Americans want him to serve his time.

Just like others with cash and power, Roman Polanski gets off. Oooppssss Bernie didn't. That's right, Bernie burned the rich and powerful.

Roman only RAPED a THIRTEEN year old!
