I was married, had 2 kids, and divorced before I was 19. I never got a fucking penny from my ex-husband, and my kids were never supported by welfare. I worked and went to school (thank god for my parents and sisters who babysat). We always lived in our own apartment, had a decent car, food, clothes, etc. I didn't need their worthless father, and I didn't need welfare.
I good friend of mine was divorced a couple of years ago. He had to pay $1000 child support (1 kid) and $700 spousal support per month. Of course, she quit working the minute he said he wanted a divorce. She hasn't worked since, living in the 3-bdrm house with inground pool she was awarded, with the CS and SS covering her expenses. She's a drunk, and he recently was awarded custody of their kid. Her check went from $1700 per month to $700 and she's raising hell with him, "how am I supposed to live???". The bitch needs to get a job.
