My cousin's ex is supposed to pay him each month BUT because she works under the table, he gets nothing.

Women are paying child support because there was federal legislation signed to expand non-custodial timeshare in 2009.

I was just looking up this topic online and found this post, even though it's 3 years old. I pay child support to my ex, and my son is high-functioning autistic, so I may never get the relief of support payments stopping. He allows me very little contact with my son and when I question him, he blames it on his "disability", which when he is with me, no one can even tell he is on the spectrum. My son is about as normal as any other kid his age and has the ability, IMO, to lead a normal life. His father, on the other hand, wants to see him live his life as a vegetable so he can milk the government for as much assistance as he can, and cash my checks,too. He lawyered up with the county legal aid when we broke up, so I did not even have the option of getting help when I was served papers. He got everything he wanted, including awarding me no visitation, and if I ever want court-ordered visits, I have to hire a parenting time expeditor, which is a fancy title for specialty lawyer($$$$$$$$$) Dad will dangle the carrot and be generous with visits when he doesn't want to deal with him, or when he wants me to buy him something, but when he has "plans" or doesn't need his hand in my pocket to fish for money, I get denied. I have had my license revoked, my checks garnished, and lost at least 4 years of income tax returns. His father does not seem to care how this affects me, or care if I have a relationship with my son, so long as he gets his check every month. I doubt anyone will read this, and this is long, but you are not alone, but we are few and far between.

Would love to chat with the moms here who pay child support.
I have my 3 yrs old daughter 60% of the time, and pay ex a little each month.
He is unemployed and a recent graduate from a master's program here in FL.
Hope to chat with someone out there!
