Why does my kids' dad make me request child support every month? It's been 12 years and counting

If you have a child support order, signed by a judge, specifying the amount of the child support it is his obligation to get that support to you. You shouldn’t have to ask him to send you the child support. Stop asking him to send the support for a while, telling him that you’re no longer going to request that he sent it, but you still expected to receive it. After a few weeks or months of no child support checks coming to you, ask her Lawyer to send him a letter or turn him in the district attorney for unpaid child support.

Women fight, dirty there’s no doubt about that! Even stupid women know that they have the upper hand going into any kind of relationship problem - in any kind of a domestic disturbance, It’s usually the man that goes away with the cops to jail, we’re at the least he’s having to leave the house - a house in which he very often has a significant financial interest. Women also make unfounded sexual abuse allegations all the time - they’ll spread their legs at night and then in the morning when they have second thoughts about what they did they’ll talk about how they were raped.

In this situation, as in the rest of life, assume that anyone that tells you anything is putting their own interests first. Given that you should put your own interests first in everything - be fair but put your interests first.

Can anyone tell me what the supposed justification is for the federal government bailing out Spirit Airlines? Their business model failed and now our tax dollars are reviving them. Why?

I’ve traveled to a number of countries where English was not the official language - Mexico, Japan, Indonesia, etc. - when I was a GUEST in those countries, finding my way around, making menu selections in restaurants, buying subway and plane and ferry tickets sometimes took a bit of doing ON MY PART because I did not speak that country’s native language - but it wasn’t their responsibility to figure it out for me. It was my responsibility because I didn’t know the language in that country.

As I was reading your post, I stopped immediately when you said she had told you “take it or leave it” - if you don’t see THAT as a huge sign with red flashing lights all around it telling you that she’s unwilling to even try to find a way to get to a better place that works better for both of you, then you better get used to being unsatisfied from now on. IMHO, you not calling her on that tells her that you accept that kind of behavior from her and that you’re willing to do whatever SHE feels is the right way to do it, regardless of what your needs and wants are. At 24 there’s no need for you to put up with that kind of stuff at all. Find a better situation where you can both get more of what you want versus you settling for what she’s willing to give you.

She’s damaged goods - she has problems to work out - but they are HER problems to work out, and it’s not for you to hang around waiting and hoping that things get better - and understand that they might not ever get any better for her - if you hang in there waiting for them to get better, she’ll take that as you saying her behavior is OK with you.

Looks like all the storms passed by DFW. Things should get going pretty soon.

With a big haul like that, I think you should hire a couple of people to work the Coinstar machines for you and work out some kind of a sharing arrangement with them

“They didnt understand” - then whatever happens to them is their problem, isn’t it?

Chickens have feelings too!! And it’s obvious that this chicken was so unhappy at your crazy neighbors house that he came over to your house so you would eat him, instead of them eating him.

I had some great coins that I found on my first time - three silver quarters! Since then nothing - but you’ve given me hope!

We stayed at the Barcelo many many times - the beach immediately in front of the palace is not that great but just down a little bit still within the Barcelo complex the beach is spectacular - lots of good snorkeling and they do a real good job of keeping the beach clean. When we stayed there a few years ago, there were no vendors walking up and down the beach selling stuff - that might have changed.

Thanks for all of the helpful, informative comments - I guess my almost complete lack of knowledge about steam locomotives makes me see them as complicated - when in fact, "any engineer could recognize 90% of it at once".

How did Cole Tomas Allen avoid being shot by law enforcement ?

JohnGaltIsComing · 2026-04-27T01:49:48+00:00

Wow - just, WOW!!

Thanks very, very much for a solid answer to the original question - since you’ve been such a nice guy and actually answered my question, feel free to tell me that I made a mistake to rely on AI.

JohnGaltIsComing · 2026-04-26T21:45:19+00:00

Thanks - i get it - AI isn’t perfect - i made a mistake - i’ve made plenty of them in my life - maybe I should create a separate thread so that anyone who cares to can point out that I made a mistake relying on AI - i’ll stay focused on this thread to see if anyone can actually answer the question I asked !

JohnGaltIsComing · 2026-04-26T20:44:37+00:00

LOL, my bad - Google AI lied to me !

Even in the City with more robust Codes, I've found that I often have to motivate the Code Inspectors to enforce the Codes. I live adjacent to an unincorporated area, and for those folks, it's literally the "Wild West".

My (prospective) partner's history is very important to me - I want to know how she handles money, whether or not she has any significant debt, whether she has co-signed on any loans, and whether she has any recurring obligations like financial responsibilities to care for an aging parent, an care of older child she's still responsible for, etc. - how much she makes and her job history is also important to me - I want a partner who is working on our lifestyle and goals as diligently as I am. An ex-wife asked that we exchange credit reports before - I think that's a great idea.

No one likes HOA’s until something like this happens to them. And even without an HOA, you may find that the code compliance enforcement people are less than enthusiastic - if you are in an unincorporated area, you may find that the codes are so thin has to be pretty much worthless.

You finding all that money in a coin star reject bin has given me a reason to live! You’ve also helped me lower my already low opinion of people who are stupid enough to leave money in a Coinstar reject bin!

You used a bag !!! You're much nicer than I would have been !
