Rumple: How can I stop my mom treating us differently if my dad goes for child support?
My dad is afraid to get child support from my mom because he believes that she will treat me and my sister poorly. She already does, but he is afraid that she won’t drive me and my sister to work and school or not do anything with us. How can I force her to still be a parent? I know that if she does not do these things, it’s very cruel, but I would not be surprised if she was mean to me and my sister.

First I’m going to say I’m sorry for your situation, one I went through with my mother. You can’t force her to be a parent. I know this may not sound great but its the truth. I’m going to assume your parents are divorced. When my dad divorced my mother and went for child support the court completely dismissed it saying the child support system was for the women not the man even though at the time she had a job. My advice is as much money you’d get, if any, from child support
won’t be worth her reactions torwards you and your sister.
I wish you the best of luck.
Answer by George McCaslandNot much you can do, and you are not alone in this. Most non-custodial mothers are not ordered to pay, and most who are do not.
He should file for it, and if she has a problem with it, remind her that this is a part of women’s rights.
I would like you to consider writing a paper of this subject. Perhaps reaching out to other children in the custody of their fathers, who do not get child support. The subject would be why is it that fathers, even those not ordered to pay child support, are considered deadbeats, while mothers in similar circumstances are not. Of note, of the claimed single mothers not getting child support, 75% of never filed for any.
