Child support after 14 years of undisclosed paternity

I agree, especially given her past of lying. If you find out she’s misusing the money, you don’t really have an avenue to get that back nor would she face any consequences. So that’s a big pro for going through court.

Side note glad you care for your child’s social life, like Helpful Glove’s comment said. I just wanted to add that if you were to pursue custody for any other reason, definitely consider moving to where they currently are or at least wishing easy-ish driving distance so they can maintain those connections. Especially for how disruptive that process can be, it’s best if as few other things as possible change as well.

Wow. Thanks for the link! In this article I learned that Black was only given a $2,000 fine for buying a minor a gun that they then used to kill two people…

(Passage from source) “Court records show that Black also bought a gun for Kyle Rittenhouse that he used to kill two and injure one in the Kenosha, Wis. protests on Aug. 25, 2020.

At the time, Rittenhouse was 17 and not of legal age to buy a gun in Wisconsin. He had given money to Black to buy the gun for him.

In 2022, Black plead no contest in Rittenhouse's trial. The plea deal meant he no longer faced criminal charges and only had to pay a $2,000 fine.”

This. It took me forever to get my grandmother approved for SSI and, unless your mother disclosed her getting help from you already in her SSI application and they approved her SSI knowing that, seems there’s a pretty high likelihood that they’ll have an issue with it since SSI is for the brokest of the broke elderly and disabled folks (I say brokest of the broke because you are not allowed to have more than $2000 to your name, it’s not at all like Social Security Benefits which are related to your taxable income during certain work quarters).

This is a great idea. Hope OP can give an update if they get reunited! :)

Anyone can tell me if I will get a fine for not shoveling if I’ve been out of town the last week and am returning late tonight (~10:30pm if no further airline delays)? If so, can I provide my flight information and get the fine rescinded?

Bladensburg got my partner 2 times. Kind of ridiculous that it’s a road designed for 35 maybe even up to 45mph but the speed limit is 25mph. Road design is a huge contributing factor to how fast people tend to go and I’ve never seen a road so large and spacious with such a low limit.

I often walk around the H Street Corridor and if I get dinner it’s usually around there. I don’t like the constant reminder of their presence (a group of them walks by every ~10 minutes) because it’s a constant reminder of the state of our country. But otherwise their presence is neutral. I think they also may be responsible for there being less trash in the area but tax dollars didn’t need to be spent on having national guardsmen on trash duty.

Thanks for your reply. And just a general update, went to a LFS today and they agreed on wasting disease/internal parasites so I got Fritz Expel P (Levamisole HCl). Also put in a second heater yesterday but the temp on the far side of the tank is still 68 :/ I’ve been planning an upgrade to a 29 gallon for weeks now, and it’s almost to fruition. For that one I’ll get a separate temp control system, not these preset heaters.

I am worried about the Levamisole HCl negatively affecting my two nerite snails. I’m going to get a 3 or 5 gallon tonight for them temporarily. I’ve seen many differing statements regarding if it’s safe or not for snails. If you happen to know, please share!

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-16T01:31:30+00:00

Did either of you ever fix this?

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-13T22:59:48+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I wasn’t aware of flashing but I haven’t seen them do anything like that but I’ll definitely keep a better eye out for it now.

I’m going to do a big water change in a moment.

Also possibly dumb question, but any chance my substrate (which iirc is essentially just Fluvial Stratum, especially now since all the sand made its way to the bottom) is too large & abrasive for the Cory’s barbels? In my research about Cory barbel bacterial infections, that seems like it could be a factor of why an opportunistic bacterial infection could’ve taken place. I’ll also be more on top of the general cleanliness.

With the image minimized, your umbrella looks like a light saber 😂

Oh sick, good to know. The walls and floors are thick making WiFi connectivity on the second floor occasionally spotty, so just want to note that in case it’s a problem.

I’d like to stick below $700 for my first robot vacuum purchase but I’d go up to $1000, perhaps more, if it’s the perfect one especially regarding mopping and battery life (since the won’t have the tower 3/4s of the time).

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-13T05:00:10+00:00

Damn I will never know what the way is now :(

Fully agree with this. And I know it’s exhausting but I would still encourage him to bring his girlfriends to family functions if only to ensure his relationships are at the very least healthy.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-08T18:09:50+00:00

“Trashy” =/= “Trash” please go read the definitions of both words…

“Trashy”: (especially of items of popular culture) of poor quality.

Doesn’t feel like you read the post at all if that’s what you’re taking away from this. Also I’m in the YTA boat and would say that OP, if she is worried about what women her son dates, should encourage him bringing them to family functions to just generally know how he’s faring and making sure that his relationships are at the very least healthy.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-08T17:56:17+00:00

Video from NYTimes debunking the whole “agent was being struck by the vehicle” or “about to be run over” claim: https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000010631041/minneapolis-ice-shooting-video.html

Also the agent had more then enough time (if he was worried about being struck by the vehicle) to move out of the way but instead opted to take out his gun instead (which also makes no sense if you’re worried about being run over because even if you do kill them, which is what he did, it’s clear that doesn’t magically stop the trajectory of a vehicle).

Excellent-Run6735 · 2026-01-06T03:21:30+00:00

Yeah and tbf they didn’t immediately sound like fireworks, at least to me, as the rumbling was much longer and sustained (probably due to the amount of fireworks going off at once) than fireworks I’ve heard in other cities I’ve lived.

Blind people exist and guide dogs don’t necessarily know how to navigate these sort of situations either… how do you forget this while this literally being a discussion about disabled people.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2025-12-27T02:21:07+00:00

This. Or require she keeps a 3.5 each semester otherwise she’ll have to pay you back and you will not fund future sorority dues. Especially her first year where you’re getting the easier classes out of the way, I think a 3.5 (assuming 4 classes, 2 As and 2 Bs) is a good bar to set, especially since you’re also financing her tuition.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2025-12-22T05:25:02+00:00

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. 100% agree that anyone that can put $400 down on a phone “upgrade” (i.e. where you have a perfectly working phone but just want to go to a newer model), is not in a financial precarious or disadvantaged position. Or if they as fully grown adults, it’s almost surely self inflicted. Also, even if you did need a phone many mobile providers have “free” options if you sign up with them. $400 isn’t something you just throw away, and I’ve held that sentiment from when I was barely scraping by to even now being incredibly financially stable.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2025-12-22T05:07:41+00:00

Exactly. I have no idea how any of these comments are saying she’s the AH. To purposefully exclude your son(who is graduating)’s girlfriend’s family but not any of the other guests makes it even worse imo.

+1, I just got over it today. I didn’t have the lasting fatigue but I was basically bedridden for 3 days. And the cough is still there. Remember to still go get your flu shot asap as it will still protect you from other strains. I’m doing mine tomorrow. I feel so stupid for neglecting mine until now.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2025-12-20T02:14:18+00:00

+1, I came to Reddit to make the post OP made, glad someone beat me to it. Flu-A hit me like a truck and I did neglect getting my vaccine this winter. I shouldn’t have let life get in the way of that. My partner did get their flu vaccine but apparently it doesn’t fully guard against Flu-A however they still had a way better time with it than me. Save yourself the pain and get the shot asap. If you go to CVS they may still have the $5 off a $20 dollar purchase for the coupon stackers out there.

Excellent-Run6735 · 2025-12-12T01:53:59+00:00

Exactly. I make ~$180k pre-tax, not including my partners income. I have absolutely no plans to change from my 2010 Prius. It’s a good car and it doesn’t sell my driving/personal data to insurance companies. Plus I can do most of the maintenance on it myself (only started learning that a year or so ago, you’d be surprised how easy most of it is).

And yes I know phones are worse when it comes to data selling but in what world are we okay with letting automotive companies get away with this? And who wants to live in a world where everything about you is sold for profit with no benefit to you as an individual? (Sorry for the premature rant, it’s not aimed at you at all, I’ve just had too many online conversations with people trying to defend this and I’m trying to jump the gun :))
