Before you crucify him, consider the fact that things sometimes work out better when you can spend the money directly on the kids instead of giving it to the mother first.

Yes in a perfect world.
I am not questioning BVF's ability or desire to support his children...however I do question the court's ability to make that decision for any parent.
There are standard practices for a reason, and history has shown that on both sides of the fence, father and mother there have been dead beat parents, I just don't think the court's should take chances on allowing any parent to decide for themselves what, if, or when they should pay anything.
Without there being a court ordered minimum, this leaves it wide open for abuse.
But once again, I am not judging BVF's situation, just the entire process to begin with.
Also just wanted to point out the courts should enforce laws , and court orders on the books regarding child support.
My brother in law is well over $30K in arrears for his child support.
He has NEVER been to jail for this ever. Even though they claim that this will happen if a parent does not follow the court orders and pay.
Fucker is so pathetic he can't even call them on their birthdays. Hell if you can't pay cash...pay some fucking attention.
