Open discussion how would you all handle this?

Child support is not rent money. You got to have a ruff over your head regardless whether you have children. Using child support on half siblings is unacceptable and is taking advantage of her being there.

Spoiled child!??!? No it sounds like the dad needs custody.

That father should file for primary custody. The child should be in a 2 parent household. Since that’s not the case, the child should be in the most financially stable household for their own wellbeing; no “child support” needed. If the mother was to pay for CS, likely 100% of her funds would go to the child.

Child support has been used as wedge between men, women & families . Child support is not an extra paycheck , it’s for the child well being. A lot of women have used child support system to break men or revenge. child support guidelines are out dated and not fair towards men.

In my opinion I feel like the father planted that seed by telling her how much, if anything, if his daughter feels like she isn’t getting things her father needs to address that with the mom. I have a 16 year old daughter and I would never tell what I’m giving her mother

The cost of living increased and rent in most places is $2000 and that doesn’t include paying utilities, purchasing groceries, household items, toiletries, etc for a single mother and her 3 children. Single parents do whatever it takes to survive.

As soon as the child said “I’d rather live with my dad” this whole thing was over. The dad sii no old go back to court and file for full custody.

The mother using the money for her personal use, disgusting.the girl should go live with her father.

This is what happened: teen daughter asks dad to buy her something…he says no and tell her how much he pays her mom to financially support her. Dad says if you lived w/ me I can buy you the things you want. Now she’s asking mom to giver her the money directly or she lives w/dad

$1,900 for 1 & her daughter doesn't get a cent. If she has multiple kids/baby fathers than this shouldn't be a issue. There could be some truth in that.

I think I read someone write that child support isn't for rent. It absolutely is for rent and other living expenses. Yes, the mother would have to live somewhere, but with children, you absolutely have to have a certain amount of space for them as well.

It’s Krazy cause that girl literally said she wanted to go live with her father but I can almost guarantee her mother kept her hostage and made her with live with her jus so she can keep gettin that money!!

Spoiled child?? Are you serious? Lol bro I went through this exact thing growing up! That money is to take care of the child’s needs ! I’m not gon even start bro because this topic gets me heated

I think 1/3 of that $1900 should go to the child every day living expenses, 1/3 to the child’s personal things and the other 1/3 to a bank account for the child to be able to use for future college education or her first car, if she wants one. Not for mom’s personal use.

It’s called Child support… it is for the custodial parent to combine with their income to provide for the child… If you were together could your child come have this conversation with the two of you…

I agree she sounds like a spoiled child and what the father shouldn't be having this discussion with her. She can't get whatever she wants just because her father pays child support.

How old is the child? Does the child not understand what it means to survive/provide/protect a family? It appears her father is a manipulator and telling his child information so he could get custody and not pay child support.

Ladies give the father custody of the child, especially if you can barely make it

As a child she should not be knowledgeable about the finances issued that keeps her taken care of… if she wants to live with her dad cool, but it’s not her place to talk to her mother like that. Like an equal.

The daughter should just try to live with her father and stop talking to her mother about it. Her number 1 focus should be in moving in with her father. At age 16, she can definitely do that. If she is spoiled the father can sort that out.

She spoilt. Send her to live with her father. Be his problem.

I guess the father feels like his money for his kid is being used to look after other siblings that are not for him. He could just come to an arrangement with the mother and give some of that money to his child as allowance.

she need to hit those other two daddies up for support, her support could help out just a little at the house, but not be the primary source of income for the whole house, she got that $1,900 and thought she won the lotto, if that support stops, mom and kids are in the poor house

But…Men don’t file for Joint Custody though. 🤷🏽‍♀️. They only complain AFTER the judgement is settled.

He need to get custody and if he gets custody the CS stops and she may have to give him CS.

It’s called child support and intended for the child of said man and woman not to include her having had other kids with other men! That man is only responsible for his said child(ren) not her other kids or bills outside of his child’s

That woman at the end sound ridiculous it’s not mother support goofy

Child support is EVIL. I've seen situations where a baby mama prevents her 19 year old son from working, just so she can continue to collect child support from his father. Child Support is a family destroyer!

The blonde hair chick is delusional. If she only knew how many kids that can speak their mind, feel that way. The child support system been needed to be reconstructed. Its CHILD support for a reason. Not my lifestyle support

This is interesting because on one hand the child is right and the funds are being misappropriated because it’s not going towards the welfare of that child. However bills are apart of the child’s welfare but I think she should put some to the side for the child

Child support laws are different depending on where you live, in most cases it is primarily for the child that you received it for, not the whole family to partake in. To say that 1900 isn't enough is crazy, if it's child support + your income that should be more than enough.

They been doing that for the longest.. I thought child support was for dead beat moms & dads, not for failed relationships.

File for joint custody , These chicks mannnn😂

She can use it for whatever she wants she has the child majority of the time respect her mind
