Correct Child Support
- Share via
I enjoyed the article “Raised Right” (by Itabari Njeri, July 25). However, there was some advice or an opinion that is incorrect given by author Bebe Moore Campbell.
“But a father can pay a baby sitter directly or give money directly to a doctor for bills or pay music lessons,” the article said. “If a judge said you are supposed to pay $200 a month child support, you can find $200 worth of bills that specifically involve the child,” Campbell said.
In California, paying bills directly cannot be substituted for court-ordered child support. My ex-husband attempted that action and was found in contempt of court.
