A. well how about the old fashion you know it's wrong & you do it anyway you get punished for it- instead of going to time out-I still believe there is nothing wrong with a swat on the butt when need be-& i'm saying swat not drop their pants & whip them with belts- which is how i was done & learned early on it didn't feel good so don't keep messing up & it won't happen again

How much child support can I get from the unemployed father of my son?
Q. After 7 months of my sons fathers lack of helping I decided to get the law involved and make him pay child support. The problem is.. He don't have a job and don't want a job. He is fine with his mommy paying for everything he needs. I know im entitled to child support but how am I supposed to get anything when he is to lazy to get a job?
Asked by Kc - Thu Oct 15 11:25:28 2009 - - 8 Answers - 2 Comments

A. If you go to the courts and get a petition for child support set up they will use what they call a formula, where they take your income and the minimum he should be making and calculate it. What ever the calculation comes up with he will be made to pay. Just because he doesn't have a job doesn't mean he's going to get off with not paying it. If that were the case, then all these people out here that have to pay child support would quit their jobs and not worry about it. I'm not sure what the lowest limit is for your state, but my child's father was ordered to pay $130/month. Of course he hasn't paid that and his excuse is that he doesn't have a job. Now he owes $2500 and is about to be sent to jail.

Who gets credit for child in home when filing injured spouse?
Q. I am the injured spouse, and we have 1 child together. I filled the form and I was wondering who the $1000 credit for the child that we have together in our home goes to. Do they give part to my husband to be applied to back debts, or do I get the child credit along with my own? Thanks!
Asked by mich01 - Mon May 5 13:30:43 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends on how you filled out the injured spouse form. When you fill out the form, you allocate children and other credits and deductions to one spouse or the other. If the child is assigned to you then you will get the child tax credit. If the child is assigned to your husband then it goes to pay back his offset. For the injured spouse form to be beneficial, you should always assign as many good things (like children) to the injured spouse as possible. Children can always be assigned to the injured spouse even if the child was not your biologically, since the child became yours as soon as you married its father.

  • You can't raise a child in a vacuum. All that carpet dust will clog up the kid's lungs.
  • Look around you. Everywhere. They are there. In every home - lurking in dark corners ... small, bi-pedal entities with almost human brains play their games in which adults are the pawns. They play and wait for the time when they will take over the world!
  • Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
