Interesting to see folks actually quibble over $300 /month for maintenance of a child.

Is this what it supposed to cost? It sure as hell cost me a damned load more than $300 to raise my kids and suspect that's the same in any family.

Problems between two adults, whether in a marriage or temporary arrangement, has nothing to do with any children involved. All the excuses and bullshit about Mom being married to Trump, spending support money on drugs etc are different issues. (If he's married to Trump, tell your lawyer - he'll just say you are still the father. If she's on drugs, call the cops.)

The breakdown of relationships, tho they obviously affect children, are not their fault - it's the parents who screw up and both are responsible for their kids.

It's not even a "legal" issue - any responsible parent with balls would ensure his children have adequate support in their earlier years and be there to back them in adult life.

Any guy who seriously thinks he can raise a child on $300 has gotta be in lalaland. The least they can do is throw that "tip" into the pot to cover some costs - cos sure as hell they are not "paying for raising their kids" - others probably end up doing this. Sounds like eroswebmaster is one such person and suspect a high percentage of mothers cover costs in many more cases.
