My Dad Is Selfish! Please Help!?
i never have any clothes, i never have any new shoes my dad always says we’re low on money anytime i need something new! my computer, tv, and cameras are handme downs from him. he has 4 cellphones, one of them a iphone and the other a blackberry! he has a bmw convertible and a dodge charger, he gets stupid plastic surgery like lipo and now hes gettinga surgery to get his man boobs removed
and it just gets me so mad! i can’t get anything! ive had the same clothes for 5 years and it’s like i wear the same 3 shirts every other day, i only have 3 pairs of shoes! he won’t buy me anything! i don’t understand! he gets himself the newest latest things but leaves me and the rest of the family with nothing! by the way hes divorced from my mom
he doesnt pay child support for me because him and my mom made an agreement that he would just give me money for anything i need but he really doesnt whenever i need it! he is not poor, and makes a lot of money!
what do i do?
He obviously cares more about himself than anyone else. You are right he is selfish. You can tell a lot about a person by their wallet. The only way out for you is for your mom to go through the courts to get reasonable child support. I have no idea why your mom agreed to let him pay whenever (if ever) he feels like it. It is called CHILD support not momma support. And he is not supporting you. If your mom will not do anything to make your situation better get your own lawyer. Save your money or get a job and get legal help. The court (all American courts) look out for the best interests of the child not the best interests of the parents. I don’t know if legal aid will help you but it is worth a shot and it’s free. Your parents may try to pressure you to go with what has always been because they will say they know best and you don’t. They wouldn’t say that if they weren’t threatened by you getting getting a lawyers opinion. If a noncustodial parent won’t pay reasonable child support (and it is not reasonable for an American child that has a parent that can comfortably pay for you to be clothed properly to not do it). Your only recourse is to go through the legal system because your parents obviously aren’t looking out for your best interests. I can only imagine the manipulation that you have to live under. If you are too young to get a job, I would call law firms (that specialize in family law) and see if any lawyer will take your case for free. There are a lot of jokes about lawyers, but many are parents and or generally care about people.
geez! has your mom talked to him about this yet? cuz she should
wut a bitch he is a real ass hole i would tell child suport that hes doing this, thats mean
Wow, certainly doesn’t sound like he’s low on money. Which parent do you live with more? Have you discussed with your Mom?
Have you talked to your mother about this? If your father isn’t keeping his end of the bargain, she may have to take him back to court.
