I am lucky enough to own (part own I guess with my husband) a big old rambly Victorian home.....right now there are three of us (husband, me and youngest - nearly 19 year old - child, a son). I may be being romantic minded and silly but part of my long term vision has always been - HOLD ONTO THIS HOUSE.......I figure if any of my three offspring are ever in the awful position of having no where to go for whatever reason (paying child support that is due and should be paid for example) I can offer the kids a home here. They are all good kids and while I would charge them rent it would be minimal compared to market rents. I totally agree that child support, if due, IS DUE!!!!!!!! But my daughter has been dating someone now for two years who either bounces from job to job or works under the table because his current (and back support, I admit) once taken from his wages simply do not leave him enough money to live -- I am just not sure that that helps in any way.....
