What gravy train? Do ya'll know the actual numbers for child support or do u just listen to Brotales and celebrity ancedotes?
Like nearly 48% of single moms don't even get child support already. I think only 52% receive it and 34% of men.
The child support scam has always been overexaggerated.
Find Out How Much Child Support the Average Single Parent Really Gets
Edit: but also I'm okay with the law.
Starting in July 2017 in Illinois, child support law changes will begin to take effect.
-Both parents income will be calculated together to see how much both parents will pay (before if the mom had full or majority custody her income will not be calculated).
-If the parent with less custody has the children for 148 days in a year, they will pay considerably less child support after the law change.
And some other things too.
The law change will combine both parent's income and state that the child receives 20% of both incomes combined. So this law will hurt women who solely depend on the man's income or women who make more then enough to take care of a child. The law also takes government assistance as income.
They counted informal arrangements too.Not all single mothers run to the courts to have/enforce child support. :claud:
Be careful interpreting stats.
Ummm they already do calculate the mom's income at least in the states I have to pay in
Bust nut's breh Post nut clarity have you some kinda wayUmmm they already do calculate the mom's income at least in the states I have to pay in

I just want people to be better informed. We're a generation raised by Jerry Springer "who the daddy" shenanigans and it's skewed our perception. There are far too many lies and exaggerations surrounding single parenthood, and custody and many are driven by pointless gender battles.
- 10.2% are informal child support agreements established between the two parents.
This idea that majority of single moms are getting bank is insulting and inaccurate.
Edit: I keep forgetting to mention tho that I actually don't mind laws that try to establish more fairness for fathers b/c I know the abuses do happen. But it's not as prevalent as we've been led to believe. Truth is stranger than fiction.
