the mega millions, would you still keep the mother or father of your children on child support?
Would you feel compelled to give them some of the money...and if not compelled, would you at least naturally want to give them some of it?
I know someone in a similar predicament. The mom got a huge settlement due to medical malpractice that almost killed her while she was in labor with their child. They are not together but they have a great co-parenting relationship. She calls him & asks for money sometimes just to see if he'll still be a great father despite her being paid $ 2 million.
He doesn't feel entitled to the money necessarily, but he def. doesn't understand the concept that she wouldn't naturally give him some...
And I can sort of see where he's coming from. After all, if the tables were turned and if the father got $ 2 million, a lot of people would crucify him if he didn't give some of that money to the mother of his child...not necessarily all of it, half of it or even a quarter of it...but hell even $ 5.
I think I'd put a huge portion in two seperate savings account for my daughter.
One for education and one for her personal spending.
I wouldn't give money to her father because he always screws me during tax time and then lies about it. If he had been honest ("yes, I claimed her. Sorry, I fucked up") then yes, I would share with him.
I've never asked him for a cent. I never will. I don't "need" it.
