Re: definition of child support
Child support is intended to pay for the costs of the child's necessities of life such as food, housing, education, and medical care. And, no, if it is even necesary to further explain, the principles underlying the concept of child support have nothing to do with buying the intended recipient of such support a car, or even a Game Boy, for that matter.
Hope this 17 year old man-child finally gets it.
