Can I End Child Support if My Daughter is Pregnant

[jk]

Since you have refused to step up and take control of the situation where your daughter may be exposed to dangerous or unhealthy situations, you get the right to continue to pay support to the mother. You have failed in being a father and requiring your daughter to understand that life had rules me appear to have purchased her love with all the money you give her without having to earn it.

The statement from DSS does not mean she will be legally emancipated. It simply means that due to rules, law, and policy, she will be eligible for assistance due to her having a child. Not the same thing.

And since she's living under these circumstances, why haven't you gone into court to take custody of the child?????

We were told that she could not recieve these benefits because she was a minor, but once the baby was born she then would be considered an adult and could then apply.

I doubt you were told she'd be "considered an adult" once the baby is born. Eligible for benefits for the child, sure, but giving birth does NOT emancipate you in any state of the Union.

I just can't see continuning to pay her mother

You're not "paying her mother". You are providing reimbursement for the costs of feeding, clothing, and sheltering your child. This is not rocket science.

I do not understand you people who come in here with a gripe against your ex, but you always want to take it out on your child by trying to weasel out of your legally required financial support. And now, when your daughter needs the support the most, you want to stop paying? Seriously, what in the seven blazing Hells is wrong with you?

And since she's living under these circumstances, why haven't you gone into court to take custody of the child?????

Oh, darling, that costs money.

I'd love to hear from someone - anyone - who can truly prove that being the CP is cheaper than paying CS to the other parent.

Really.

Really.

Maybe for someone who is paying an extraordinarily high amount of child support...for the average person, no way.

Then again, if that parent (I'm thinking Kobe Bryant-like salary) is earning enough to be paying a huge amount of child support, the child is likely enjoying a much higher standard of living to begin with
