This is just a simple reminder. Money, as it relates to child support or alimony, is completely restricted for children.There is no good end to involving your children in conversation that are related to child support. Here are my reasons:
1. The child, no matter what they say, will assign a value to himself or herself based on the number of dollars transferred in support.
2. It's none of their business. They did not cause their family structure and therefore have no place in the financial arrangements that the structure requires.
3. If the kids are involved in child support conversations, then they will no doubt utilize this opportunity as leveage against one, but probably both, parents. You do not want this to happen.
4. And finally, if the kids are involved in conversations about child support with you, then you are probably avoiding a conflict you need to have with your former spouse.
Nope, it's not easy to keep the kids out of this kind of conversation, but the truth is that you must. It is a toxic topic for children and teens.
God bless.
