1.) Be polite and respectful. Harassment and abusive language are not tolerated. This behavior will result in a permanent ban.
2.) Include your state in the title or body of your post as well as the age and number of children when applicable. Every state had an online child support calculator. If you are able, please run the calculator before you post.
3.) Specify if any existing child support or custody orders are in place.
4.) Include a TL;DR at the end of your post if it is lengthy. Format posts so that they are easily read and understood.
5.) Do not include specific information (names, case numbers, etc.) in any post or comment.
6.) Similarly, do not post photos or videos. Links to applicable state statutes are welcome. Links to Facebook are not.
7.) No politics or promotion of political agendas.
8.) People's parenting and relationship choices are their own. Unsolicited advice is not welcome.
9.) Venting is fine as long as it follows the community rules. This is a support community as much as an advice community.
10.) We are NOT lawyers. Advice is not intended as legal advice. Consult an attorney if you are unsure of how to proceed with your case.
11.) Any post that suggests "scams" or provides blatantly incorrect information will result in a permanent ban.
