From R-KIDS of MN and GPF

Hi my name is ... and I'm a divorced mother of 2 children who I have joint legal and physical custody of and things are working out great.

My ex husband and I both hvae time with the kids every week and I think that is the way things should be. I also have a baby with a guy who is paying over $700 a month in child support, when all is said and done he has to live on about $800 a month and has nothing left to give to our little girl.

I am really frustrated with the mothers of these children who collect all this money. I work 40 hours of overnights a week to pay for my children and receive only $50 from my ex husband.

So to all the women who are sitting home collecting support and public assistants and putting the fathers of the children through this, GROW UP! Those kids didn't want to be put in this situation they just want a dad.

As for the lawmakers and to those who come up with the guidelines, when do the mothers have to be fiancially resonsible for these kids as well.

I think the work you are doing is great and I hope that things will soon change for everyone involed.
