Subject: RE: BS: Where does the child support go?
Thanks, John. I did know that and from what she has said, I think the court spelled it out to her, too. She and he had an agreement which they presented to the court which stated he would pay the lesser amount. The court took a look at his income and said he should pay the higher amount, but they left it up to her to contact Social Services to get him to comply. As regards her not doing so "for his sake," I'd just say she is too tender-hearted and knows it, and we both see little purpose in destroying the boys' father through such.(I know it is his responsibility and it wouldn't literally destroy him,but there's been a lot of damage done, on both sides, already.)

I haven't spoken to her since Saturday. I am sure he was blowing off steam and will see reason. If not I will urge her to pursue it, regardless. And, you are right, John, it may soon be out of her hands.
