It disgusts me. She should be ashamed of herself even asking him to get her a new place. Get your own place. Jeez.

The entire child custody / support thing is utterly ridiculous. What we've done is removed or limited the rights of one parent to raise their child, and then making pay for that privilege. Removing a parent from a child's life should never been an option (unless there is danger involved of course).
I have a fifteen year old old daughter and I am thrilled to death to be a part of her daily life. I am involved in every aspect of her life and it's been utterly magical - watching a child grow up from a little peanut to someone who drives and has sophisticated musical tastes and has her college life all planned out. If you suddenly told me I had to pay $1600 a month and was only able to see her for four hours every other week and had limited rights in raising her, well, I would be completely pissed off.
This is exactly why we have deadbeat dads - their children are taken away from them and they get a bill to pay. Fuck that.
