    And some men do change when their pay packet gets hit for child support.

    tell me about it.
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.

    not the place to debate it, but i dont know many dads who morph from fine upstanding men into deadbeat dads either.....the signs are usually there should one choose to se them and take heed....

    All it takes is a new partner who objects to money leaving the house for children that are not hers - do they withhold on sex or something to get them to stop paying? Or.....they have a child who miraculously replaces the two they walked out on years before. Yup - turned deadbeat overnight :)

    Just as there are equally an amount of pwcs that are happy to let the state take the bill for the children they have produced.
    The csa like it or not was created to lessen the load on the DSS funds
    So equally the PWCs are no better than NRPS so there is my stance on that, in the description above I am not necessarily reffering to you , I or any other particular eader here right now, but it is a narrow minded vision to spout that it is always and forwever the NRPS fault, as many have said , it takes two to tango.

    Perhaps if the NRP that doesnt pay is made to pay by the govt, then many PWC's wouldnt have to claim help from the Govt.

    And if many PWC's visited Job centre plus rather than waiting for some bloke to fund them, there would be no need for this debate :D
    It's 50/50 sorry :p

    It is irrelevant whether or not the PWC works or what her income is, the NRP's should support their children. That is really all that matters. It took two to have kids irrespective of whether they were 'accidents' or not. So, ALL THOSE NRPs THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTING THEIR KIDS, PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS!!!!!!!

    It is relevant, PWCs have to do there bit too, SO ALL PWCS SITTING ON THEIR SIZE 20+ REAR ENDS PLEASE GET UP AND CONTRIBUTE!!!!!

    Haha, some people like having a big rear end, and again size is irrelevant in this case. I would think that PWC's do contribute, but most of them have a harder time as you well know, as they have to find a job to contend with school/nursery hours, and then also find and fund childcare. But again, it doesnt matter how much the PWC brings into the pot. The NRP must contribute properly. It doesnt matter what way you look at this, that the NRP contribution is a necessity.

    It does matter what they look like , just as to some of you it matters how deep the daddy's wallet is :p
    I agree some have a hard time, but they just have to grin and bear it just like you expect some NRPs to grin and bear it. It is no different and one is not better than the other :cool:

    I suspect greed? People are feeling the pinch from the recession and some want everybody else to ease the pain rather than try thermselves. The easiest thing in the world is to find an excuse for not doing stuff they should be doing.
