an Amazing Dad

[mudbunnies]

i think that every dad that stays involved in their children's lives is amazing, but this guy just stood out and i had to tell you guys about him

i met this guy tonight, and i met 2 of his 5 daughters, he has a total of 6 children, his first son born just 6 months ago....

we got to talking and we started talking about divorce/child support/alimony and the likes and then this guy drops the bomb on me

HE PAYS $465.00 PER WEEK in support.

i did not make a type there guys, that is per week

AND to top this story off, three of his kids live with him 5 days out of the week!

He doesn't complain, he doesn't worry, he pays te support, he spends every available minute with his kids, he and the mother are on great terms.

I know some of us can barely afford $465 a month let alone a week, and this guy is not rich by any means, he makes an above average wage, about 30k a year or so.....

AND HAS ZERO arrearages, i just wanted to shake his hand, i wanted to ask him how he managed so well for so long, his oldest child is about 12 or so....

it will make you sit an think for a minute

OMG muddy!  $465/week??????  At $30k per year he only grosses about $575!!!  He couldn't even take HOME $465/week!

How many mothers are involved???  I mean, isn't it illegl to take more than 55% of your income, by Federal law?

Holy cow!  The guy must "eat" air for every meal!
