As a Father---I simply cannot abide another Father not providing child support.

[trumad]

I have 3 children and if my marriage ended, I would work 3 jobs if necessary to support my children. Seriously---how do you make the decision to simply stop providing money that supports your own God Damn Children. How do take expensive International trips with your girlfriend when you know that you're not supporting your children? You have $35,000 to loan your campaign, but nothing for your children?

According to the report below---this Douchebag is the very definition of a Deadbeat Father.


The Sun-Times first reported Wednesday evening that Walsh’s ex-wife, Laura, filed papers in December in Cook County Circuit Court alleging that Walsh owes $117,437 in child support for their three children. The couple was married for 15 years before Laura Walsh filed for divorce in 2002. The news story cited court records in which Laura Walsh alleged that Walsh had the money to travel to Mexico and Italy, and was able to make his campaign a $35,000 loan.

Laura Walsh’s attorney, Jack Coladarci, disputed Walsh’s allegation that their figure is inaccurate. Coladarci said Walsh has been obligated to pay $2,135.75 a month since November 2005. He made partial payments until March 2008, but stopped paying until last December.

“My client gave us the information to figure out what amount he owed – it’s not complicated at all to figure that out,” Coladarci said.

1. Hatred of the ex-spouse.

Lots of people would sooner see their kids go without than to give a dime to their ex. After all, she may be using it to get a manicure or something. :eyes: (I've seen that shit posted right here on DU, so I know it's true.)

[boston bean]

2. yep. they want to give the $$ directly to the three year old buy it's own groceries, clothes,

medicine, transporation, doctor visit, home, tv, electricity, cable, computer etc.

[Bunny]

4. I know. I chuckle over that every time I see it.

They want the right to demand receipts to show that the money was spent ONLY on the child, and not for necessities like food, shelter, utilities, etc. It's a pretty deluded and hate-filled expectation.

[trumad]

3. I've seen it to.....

Poor men---getting the shaft for child support... so they just decide to not pay at all because it's so unfair... kids be damned.

This Douche---Walsh--- looks like he has the money.

[Bunny]

5. That's the thing - he HAS the money.

I can feel some sympathy for parents who are down on their luck and really don't have the money. But this guy clearly does, he's just being a dick. Unconscionable.

[seabeyond]

7. apartments alone. she has a boy and girl. 1 and 3. she has to get a 3 bedroom

because the X is uncomfortable with boy and girl sharing a room. blows my mind. if i had two little ones, not making much, they would be in same room. i dont feel the same restrictions. so that alone had her space 300-400 more a month than without the kids.

i hate the non custodial whining, i want to see what money is spent on. just hate it. intellectually, it makes no sense. but often, we dont hear people thinking.

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Yeah, that's often the underlyng reason that someone who CAN pay chooses not to do so --.

that and a desire to act like a responsibility free single person again.

I have lots of empathy for noncustodial parents who can't come up with the child support, but none for those who just choose to spend their money on something else.

[Bluenorthwest]

6. As no one's father, I am more than over the 'special status' of

straight marrieds. I mean, what the fuck happened to the 'Sanctified Union' o' the Walsh marriage? Did God fuck it up? Was the 'Sacrament' defective? The President and his pastors Warren and McClurkin keep insisting that all heterosexual marriages have utterly magical qualities, the Pres says they have a 'spiritual element to their relationships' that he likes to add GLBT couples can not have. Mr and Mrs Walsh might consider suing their God or their 'minister' for Defective Sanctification. Something is not right, there is far too much of this child neglect and divorce. Either the 'Sacred Union' routine is just a pile of bogus excuses for full tilt bigotry, or God is fucking up the process and delivering defective 'Holy Unions'.
Either way, I'm none too impressed with the 'One man One Woman' society. Leave the kids to starve, I have a new, younger Sanctified Fuck.
Next nutter that brings up 'Sanctity' gets laughed at, gales of derisive laughter. God is in the Walsh Mix? Yeah, right. Prove it. Prove there is even humanity in that man.

[leftofcool]

8. +1000

[Zorra]

9. ROTFLMAO! Mince words much?

Right on.

"I have a new, younger Sanctified Fuck.".. .. .."Hmmm, Could it be...SATAN?"

[Wetzelbill]

28. that was awesome nt

[mailman82]

10. This is simple greed!

I hated my ex, she was a druggie and a bad mother. The judge gave her custody because she was the mother. From the time she was five until she turned 21 I paid child support. Why because I Loved her and it was my obligation. I was a mailman, did it cause me financial problems, yes. But I never missed a payment. It seems that Walsh is a wealthy man, who only thinks of himself. Why did I pay until she was 21? It helped her get through college. she has a great career and is a good mom. I am very proud of her.

[Rainbowreflect]

13. Thank you for being such a great dad.

The world needs more parents like you.

[Wetzelbill]

29. Wow

That is great! Glad she's doing well.

[blueamy66]

11. As the fiance of a father who pays child support....

I would really like to respond, but know that I will be slammed, so I will withold my opinion.

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

16. Child support orders are decided by the court and are based on the quaint notion that both parents

should support the child. Sometimes the primary support is in the form of physical custody and the associated costs of daily living. Sometimes it's in the form of a check. Either way, when the parent doesn't live up to the agreement the court can -- and usually does--intervene.

[uppityperson]

17. Oh we remember. Why should a dad pay support for his existing kids, we remember.

[Bunny]

18. .

:thumbsup:

[blueamy66]

22. I'm glad that you remember.

:-)

[uppityperson]

27. Someone gleeful over making another person waste $1000s in legal fees to counter frivolous

court filings? Yes. We remember. Some posters are a credit to DU. Others aren't.

[msanthrope]

19. I think your opinion is well-known. Those threads are legendary. n/t

[blueamy66]

25. Thank you.

Love to be considered legendary.

Sit in your computer chair and judge, k?

Then have a real conversation with me and know the entire story and I'll give a rat's ass about your opinion.

How does that sound?

[CreekDog]

31. more like infamous

:shrug:

[msanthrope]

33. Dear Jeebus--there's MORE to the story?

I remember your Mother's Day thread about the mother of your fiance's child.

I'm thinking that thread explained the story quite well....

[trumad]

20. I hear this a lot from women who marry a man with existing children.

You've decided to marry a man who has to pay child support. Good luck with that.

[blueamy66]

23. Haven't married him yet.

But when you know all of the details of my life, let me know.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Jealousy because it is money not going into your coffers & spent on you?

See how that works?

You didn't really withhold your opinion now, did you.


As the wife of a man who paid his support faithfully to a seriously unstable, borderline-personality-disordered, irresponsible, manipulative, bitch-from-hell...... may I say...... get over it sweetheart.

Life isn't fair. Nobody is forcing you to marry this man.

Admire him for his responsibility and character if he is paying his support as ordered.

If he is purposefully shirking his obligation - then wake up and get out while you can.

[blueamy66]

24. no marriage

34. He is purely, simply and obviously shirking his obligation. He is an irrisponsible louse.

It sounds like you are jealous and pissed off that the woman of your contempt is doing better than the obvious loser you've elected to shack up with.

This is who you've picked. In relationships you generally get what you pay for, although in this case I must say, it may be all you can afford.


There is no statute of limitations he can run out on the contribution that he dodged and is now trying to weasel his way out of. He is a moral coward.



P.S. I hope the lady had a wonderful time in Hawaii and Rome. Given the available information, I'm of the opinion she probably richly deserves it.

[CreekDog]

30. yes, you think child support takes money away from you

we know.

not an opinion that flatters you. :eyes:

[spanone]

12. poor old joe is too busy appearing on teevee to worry about kids

deadbeat

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. I have no respect with anyone who chooses to not pay his or her obligations.

Especially when they take that ethos to congress.

[LanternWaste]

32. One of my best friends

One of my best friends with whom I graduated high school in 1984 had his sixth child from his fifth wife last year. He's spent the past twenty-five years paying varying amounts of child support, yet complains to me that the evil Democrats want to raise taxes and are irresponsible. Never having paid child support, I can only guess at the amount he's paid over the years...

Obviously, I don't require a very high bar of remedial common sense amongst my fiends. :shrug:
