Whether parents are still living together or apart, raising a child is expensive. Regardless of the outcome of the divorce between the parents, child support payments offer a way to guarantee that children are financially supported.

The rules for determining child support vary from state to state, and the court will likely have the last word on how parents will handle child support going forward. Despite this, courts typically accept the arrangements that parents come to on their own.

In the end, what's most important is that the child support arrangements made will protect the well-being of the affected children and give them a similar standard of living to what they had before the divorce. Now imagine being forced to cater to a child that isn't yours despite the fact that you can't afford it.

We see such a case in today's story, as the OP's boyfriend has a child with someone who already had a child for someone else. This baby mama expects the OP's boyfriend to cater to his own child and her other child.

The OP asked why the first child's dad gets no responsibility, as he should be feeling this obligation instead. The OP's boyfriend made this clear to the baby mama, only for her to threaten him instead.

Hold on, the story gets more interesting, and you can read all about it below.
