Quote: I'm surprised you even have a choice - in my state, if you are on assistance, the state WILL go after the father for support - they want to recoup their expenses! I'm surprised your state is not mAKING you file for child support.
That's the only reason there's a support order out on him.
Because they did make me file, because when he "left" in May . . in order to keep my apartment I needed the assistance.
I'm sick and tired of being on it . . . once I start getting money from him I'll be able to drop it.
Don't worry Amy . . my hands are TOTALLY tied. It's not an option to drop it. Unless I were to tell them all that we are reconciled. But that screws me cause if he runs again *with lets face it . . it WILL happen* . I will be up sh*t creek without a paddle. I wish I could even half way rely on him to take care of the girls . . . but I can't.
He's given me NOTHING since Kiya was born, kml.
I think he might have given me a total of MAYBE $300.00 in an 9 months span!
