Do “good and decent men” whine about paying child support?
I’m sorry but “good and decent men” don’t whine about paying child support. Good and decent men use common sense when dealing with problems such as a job loss and child support. Good and decent men do not hide from a state agency that is looking for them due to child support arrearages.

Does Child Support depend on what a spouse says the parent made?
