It’s Tax Time!!
Fellow Americans, it’s that time of year again, you know tax season. What a glorious time this will be for the single mothers. Can anyone explain why fathers have to pay child support, but it is NOT tax deductible while mothers receive child support, it is NOT taxable income, and they get to claim the child(ren) as dependent(s). Does anyone believe there is something wrong with this picture? Probably not. Okay single moms, I know your story, I carried the child, I birthed the child, the child stays with me, I do all the caring and running around for the child. Majority of the mothers want custody AND the income so they MUST aspire to have this immense responsibility otherwise they would be mature enough to allow fathers to have equal time with their children proving they can be responsible parents as well.
Let’s think about this..if mothers allowed fathers to play a significant role in their childrens’ lives, the child support calculations would begin to decrease and mothers wouldn’t receive that desired income. It’s interesting when a child is getting out of control then it’s appropriate for fathers and children to develop a relationship.Because the child support process is still on the rise, fathers are put in jail because they cannot pay the support, or are overworked striving to pay the support, and all they obtain is those stupendous two weekends per month and perhaps a few weeks during the summer. During these times fathers have to re-purchase clothes and food as well as pay for extra-curricular activities and childcare while mothers are still collecting the support. During these time fathers have to make sure they have a suitable home established for those weekends and/or summers. Does anyone believe there is something wrong with this picture?.
Fathers usually NEVER acquire the same bond that mothers have with their children, and if you believe a day or weekend here and there is sufficient you are fooling yourself. When most children realize they live in a single parent home, that story remains with them throughout their lives. The children truly believe mothers paid for everything and fathers never assisted. I get it.. once the check is put into the hands of the mother it becomes her money; therefore the mother really did provide everything for the child(ren). No one ever said mothers do not need assistance, but do they have to take EVERYTHING from fathers out of spite? Will these biased laws ever change? Will fathers ever be deemed as important as mothers? Just remember child support will NOT last always and neither will your child remain an age to meet the requirement as a dependent.
