If the courts steal money that isn't there's and give it to you with out the mans approval I would say that is stealing. I mean just because the government takes it, all of the sudden its not stealing. What if the government took your car for no reason and gave it to the homeless just because they can is that stealing. So if your a christian lady taking an amount that your ex doesn't agree with than your sinning cause your stealing. stealing is stealing right? I mean the homeless need stuff to right lets start taking from everybody.

i like your outlook on this subject. the good men out there want to spport their kids, but the government in turn, makes it hard for that man to support themselves, and have any semblance of a life. and there are more women than not that abuse this system.....and it kills me. i advise, to anyone with the scruples to do so, to come to an out of court, amicable, and fair agreement on child support and custody. it can still be made legal, but the courts are out of the agreement....they will just enforce it if it goes wrong. and why should a man pay any alimony at all?!?! if the woman has 2 working legs and arms, and half a brain, then she can get her *** out there and get a job! amen, sister.

That is not stealing. The courts set up what they demean is fair child support and alimony. You may not agree with it but that is the law. You may not agree on the amount of income tax you have to pay but that is not stealing. Just because you feel it is not fair does not make it stealing. If you think the amount is wrong take it back to court. There are charts with each state on how much child support is normal. Now, I do not know if there is a chart for alimony. The judge has looked at your case and made the decision. The ex does not have the final say in how much she will get. The judge makes these rulings and that is the law so it is not stealing. If the spouses could set the amounts the children would be getting nothing. Why do you think there is so many dead beat dad's and mom's, they do not want to pay what the law tells them to pay. They are the ones stealing . They are stealing from there own children.

Nope. The difference between your homeless example and alimony/child support, is that you have never been married or fathered a child to the homeless person. The alimony argument, I believe, is debateable (sp?). Everyone should be able, in today's age, to support themselves by getting an education and a job. There are scholarships, grants, and loans to help people pay for their education. However, you should have to pay for your child. This is your responsibility. Sorry if you don't agree with the amount. Think of it this way. Is your child support amount actually enough to help pay for the child's needs? If your ex is contributing the same amount to childrearing, will this take adequate care of the child. Think about health insurance, school expenses, clothing, food, daycare, etc. Child support really isn't that much when you consider all it takes to raise a child. No, it's not stealing, buddy. Stop being so selfish and take care of your kid. Be the father of your biological child and stop spending your money on your habits.

The Government is not taking that money from you for no reason if it's child Support and Alimony. You don't have to agree with the amount but it is what is appropriate for the up keep of your children or wife. It's not stealing.

Even though I'm sure there are many who disagree with the amount the judge sets for them to pay in alimony and child support there's not much they can do but pay it. I mean or go to jail that is. I agree it's like robbery in some cases, but what can you do. I mean a parent should help support their children and in some cases where the mother has never had to work and has no experience they do allow her some alimony as well. Sorry but that's how it goes.

When a court orders someone to pay another its part of the agreement set by the lawyers and judge and signed by both parties. Child support is necessary so the partner that has the child can feed and cloth them, money isn't a substitute for an intact family but that is the compensation and has nothing to do with stealing. So pay her before they garnish your wages.

It depends. If the court awarded the person a set amount then the other party needs to pay up. The courts don't steal money. Its the people who receive the money who are stealing, when they send extra bills over and beyond the alimony amount, this is how they gouge the father.
This sounds like a person who got hit with more than his fair share.

The courts assign an amount from the man to pay for the support of his child, the courts decide what is an appropriate amount, and I guess that's not stealing if they deem that to be appropriate. I am not in that situation, I have no kids, but if a man is responsible enough to father a child he has to live up to his responsibility to support and pay for them. A woman is not taking it, the court process is in place to ensure that adequate support is being paid.

It is the man's responsibility to pay child support - he helped bring the kid into the world - he needs to take care of him/her.
I don't agree with how the payment is received, 'cause the mother could totally misuse the $$$.
As for alimony - she is a weak, selfish person - alimony is BS and should be abolished!

its not for the woman, its for the child if its support, and the court trys to agree to whats fair for both, its not always fair for one because somebody has to give it up- if its alimony its cause he was the main supporter and she cant live how she was living without him . I dont consider it stealing because either way that money was going to be used if they were still together either for her or for the kids.
