I have a 5 year old. I was with her father in and off for 8 years total. We have not been together for 2 years. He recent started to see her about 2 months ago after no contact with her for 7 months. I made a mistake of sleeping with him during Christmas and we started hanging out again. I made it clear I did not want to get back with him. We had a disagreement nearly 2 weeks ago and I have not heard from him. My questions is, should I put him on child support? He does not help me much at all. He would pay half her daycare for about 2 months only when asked. He doesn’t provide for her in any way shape or form. I am mentally and financially struggling to be a great mom. I do my best. I work and go home and raise my daughter everyday. I hardly go out and when I do I feel guilty. I don’t understand how you can just not care about your child. I want to put him in child support, so he can at least see her. I feel if I did I wouldn’t receive much money. What should I do?

    HONEY, GET THAT CHILDSUPPORT and don’t wait!!! If you feel bad about it, just remember, you can pull cash aside that you can use for a savings for your kid if you feel like you get too much.

    And I’m gonna be real with you, file for custody and get it over with.

    It seems like a lot but in a year you’ll chilling and won’t have to worry about your baby daddy’s location or asking for money if you need it.

    First of all, make this decision on your own. You can do it. You’re a lot stronger than you think. That said, he sounds like a deadbeat who will never change. You’d probably be better off as a single parent, but make him pay. It’s his kid too. O

    Hi! I just wanted you to know that you're a great mom! My mom was a single mom too, worked all her life for me. She cut off my dad completely when they separated because like you, she felt like my dad couldn't give as much anyways and probably felt like it was more of a hassle rather than help. But I think if it helps your finances, you should do it. My mom got sick from all the work she did for me. I miss her dearly. I hope you take care of yourself maam. Wish you all the best.

    Why would you not sue the child's father for child support?
