    Pressuring? At what point did anything I say here mention that I was pressuring or even that I had? Is one parent not able to ask the other parent to assist with financial obligations of the child? Isn't that what child support is for? I don't mean to say that child support is for cell phone use, I mean to say that child support is used to help both parents pay for expenses, and that's all I was doing was asking the other parent to assist in paying. Not paying by court order, but simply asking to assist in OUR childs expenses.

    Nor did I mention how often I had asked for assistance, for all this posts concern I could have just asked for the 2nd time in the last 6 or 7 years.
    No, child support is to reimburse the parent with primary custody for the expenses that parent already paid for the child. It is NOT intended to help the non-custodial parent with expenses they voluntarily chose to incur. Sure, you could ask mom to help with the cell phone, but when she said no the first time (and you said that you asked her more than once) then you should have accepted that no.

    Child support is to help cover housing, food, sundries and all of the other things that go into supporting a child. Again, in your case its you reimbursing mom.

    Again, it's the idea of splitting expenses. Agreed it was voluntary, which is what i said. But because i had asked before, doesn't mean i couldn't ask again. If you feel personally attached to this im sorry, but i at least did get an answer.

    Mom is obviously upset about something you have done, since she says its not about the 14 year old, its about you.
    I think now we know.

    Yes, my new wife (5 years married now) has a close relationship with my daughter. They get along well, my wife was teaching at a middle school in the district my daughter goes to so they had a lot to talk about.

    Is that what you teach your daughter? That if you say no its ok to ask again? Or, do you teach your daughter that no means no? Again dad, you brought this on yourself.

    i teach my daughter business strategy. if someone tells you no, then you change situations and specifics and try again. if you teach your kids to give up on the first try, i'm sorry, i teach my children to be diligent.

    now, can we please not turn this into personal and parenting attacks? I understand my answer from the forum, there is no need to continue

    The point is that you have two threads on this forum. In both threads, you present yourself in less than a flattering light in terms of co-parenting with your ex, yet you bash your ex. Either you want real advice, or you just want to hear advice that is what you want to hear. If the former, then pay attention to what you are being told. If the latter, then you probably should just stop posting.
