My mother raised my brother and I without my father. She did a great job, but my father never paid child support. If you want to move on, then that is fine, raising a child is hard and it expensive. I think if you do not need the child support then, I agree with the other person's advice when they said to put the money into a fund for the child (that is a great idea)! If the father of the child is offering the money, then I would definetly take him up on it. There are too many children that grow up without the help of their fathers. I hope my advice helps. Good luck!

Let it go and move on. Keep the money.

The child is his responsibilty as much as it is yours and although there is no way to force him to meet his emotional obligations, there is no reason to let him off the hook on his finicail obligations.

Understandably you want him out of your life, but that is never going to happen. You have a child togeather. You are stuck with him. Even if he dose pay child support he would still have rights he could exercise.

Besides that, it is really the child you are cheating if you don't accept child support. If you don't want to take the money, have it deposited into a trust fund for your child. In effect it is THIER money, not yours.

Absolutely move on, but let him see the child if he wants too and take the money the child is owed.

i have to agree with the person below me but it is a lot of money to raise a child alone. just keep letting him pay child support

If you honestly feel that that will be best for your child then I'd recommend it. It would be much better for your kid to grow up with a family who really loves them. If you feel like your child will be raised better in another environment then I'd do it.
