I was 24 with a baby girl when my 1st marriage failed. I lived in my mum n dads shed, had plastic hung with duct tape that kept most of the mozzies out at night. Kept diggin holes and bustin my arse until i had enough coin for a deposit on a rental (while copping it from the child support agency).
No ones given me anything. Hard work has paid for everything I've enjoyed. Try it. |
Copping it from the child support agency? 'As judge July says, it's your kid,don't whinge, don't wait for a judge to tell you what you have to do, do it because it's your kid!"

Paid Parental leave
baby Bonus
Superannuation
Centrelink support in getting jobs
are just a few that stuck in my head.
My daughter can afford a deposit on a house right now if she wants to go buy one, but she's saving up more for the moment, while renting and she's not been to uni and doesn't have a particularly high paying job, she's just hard working and thrifty. |
Didn't they cut the baby bonus out?
Don't forget the first home buyers bonus too! Think that's still a thang!

If the money went to the kid I'm tipping he wouldn't be complaining.

Yeah, and I worked while I was doing it.
I've also seen blokes be royally shafted by selfish lazy biatches who grab as much maintenance as they can, dip into centrelink as well and move the new boyfriend in so they can live on easy st while Dad busts a nut.
No argument there's some deadbeat dads out there who leave their missus and kids in the shit (and I've seen them too) but to lump all blokes in that category is crap.
For the record, while I was working and paying a mortgage and bills and providing for the kids at home, doing the housework, washing etc, my lovely ex was collecting a single parent benefit with no kids living with her while shacked up with her new BF. I got zero from centrelink and had to do it all the hard way.
karma is a bitch though.

A bullet would have been cheaper but karma, although slower, works nearly as well.

A very long story TP.
Ex is the daughter of a multi millionaire who has fraudulently claimed welfare payments for over 30 years.
Back in the day, early 90's, the CSA resembled Hitlers gestapo. I believe it's changed markedly since then.
I was assessed on income 2 years prior, which was almost double what I was on at the time. The first installment to come out of my pay coincided with some leave being taken. There i was, about to have 3 weeks off work, getting over the fact that my wife had been screwing my so called mate while i was away working, with a total sum of $257.00 (CSA had taken $1200) to last me. My share of rent due was $360.
Phone calls to the CSA achieved nothing, I needed to put in an estimate of what I may earn and apply to have an interview.
Remember, no computers, mobiles or any other tools to make life easier.
I could go on and on.
I finally got custody of my daughter when she was 14. I'll give you 2 guesses how much child support i recieved over the following years.

The whole system, including the family court, is biased in favour of the woman.
That's fair enough in some ways when you look at history as the man was traditionally the breadwinner and the woman the one who did home duties, but they need to lose the base assumption that all men are cheating cnuts who must be made to pay and treat each case on it's merits far more than they have.
I've seen it from both angles and been ripped off from both angles

Nah, never got anything off them.
The old bloke died recently. My eldest daughter (his only grandchild) is set for life. 
The mole of an ex-wife is trying to wirk out how to hide her millions so she can stay on the disability pension.

I know someone who's been unfortunate enough to have dealings with the family court over the past few years, and from what I've observed the system is a disgrace. Custody hearings can cost both parties many thousands of dollars, and whoever's judged not to be the primary caregiver (i.e. the father, in most cases) gets the rough end of the stick every time. We've done well to get to the stage of making divorce accessible 40-50 years ago; let's take the next step and make it fair.
