Father getting away with murder!!
by Diana
My son is now 30 but for most of his life his father that knew from age 14 gave hardly anything for his son. We married at age 21 and we divorced after 6 years of marriage which he was a dead beat husband and then a dead beat father. I worked and he stayed away from work whenever he could. When our son was born he got worse about working. I worked a federal job and had a good salary. The court ordered him to find a job and he did but because it was low paying he gave me $40 a pay and that continued that way until I heard he got a better job. I went back to court and the judge said that I made better money than him and it was staying that way. So for 18 years I received $40.every two weeks. When our son turned 18 he dropped the child support and got a job paying well because he put himself through college and became a mental health therapist. My son got screwed for most of his life because of this dead beat father. Now this dead beat is sitting pretty and my son is still struggling mentally and emotionally and financially and so am I because I had to dig into my retirement to support my son. I feel that this was a bad judgment call by the court in Philadelphia, Pa. That judge should of taken in consideration that bills go up and children grow up and a single mom can not support a child on $80.00 a month. Some guys pay too much and others get away with murder.
