People should want to support their child . No one parent should have to ask them to help out financially. If that non custodial parent really loved the child they would be around and would want to provide money for the child without being asked. Its showing love, thats all. Its being a true parent to the end, no matter what. Actions speak louder than words. My daughter's father never wanted to be the responsible parent right from the get-go, I should of saw it in the beginning, it took me up until my daughter was 14 mts old until I wised up. He's been charged twice once in 96 and the other in 2000 something with non support of a minor felony charge, I can't force him to help raise our 12 yr. old daughter. He's in hiding, refuses to let us know where he's living, cuz he knows he'll be arrested again. He's missed out on years, he just refuses to support her and show her he really loves her. Its sad.
