Obtaining Child Support in North Carolina

[justify]

My question involves child support in the State of: North Carolina


My girlfriend's son is 2 years old. The father is a deadbeat who wont work. He got a doctor to say that he is "BI-POLAR" and so the state says he only has to pay $50.00 a month child support. Now. We all know that he is only bi-polar when it benefits him. It doesnt seem to impair any of his con-ing abilities. And it doesnt affect his going out to bars and drinking and having gay relations. Is this legal ? Can somebody actually get out of paying child support because they are bi-polar? IF this is true, and he is bipolar, then isnt this a double edged sword? If he is bi-polar then doesnt this affect his parenting abilities as well, and this should be grounds for the mother to get full custody? If this is true, then couldnt all dead beats like him do the same thing? HOW CAN SHE GET HIM TO PAY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES AND PAY HIS FAIR SHARE TO SUPPORT THIS CHILD?

Well.... she can get a job to support her child if she doesn't have one, that can be the first step. The courts will decide what he should pay, if he is provides an unsafe environment for the child and she can prove it she may be able to ask for supervised visits.

If the courts said $50, then it is that amount unless she can prove that he is capable of paying more. They do not care that your gripe seems to be that you are footing the bill for this child, it is part of the package that comes with dating the mother. If she is low income even after working full time tell her to go on welfare and food stamps, at least that way the child will not go without.
