76.0. "Non-custodial fathers/men as roommates." by ASDG::FOSTER () Mon Jun 14 1993 13:28

    
    I've noticed a lot of conversations recently about non-custodial
    parents and child-support. Sadly, the mathematics seems rather obvious.
    Its difficult to support two homes on the income that USED to support
    one.
    
    What seems like a reasonable solution is for non-custodial fathers
    to room together in houses which afford some space on those weeks/
    weekends when the kids are yours.
    
    Is this happening?

    Good Reasons! 
     
    Both parties know where and what it is like to be in the situation that
    your in. 
    
    I shared my abode with a man who was tossed into the streets for the
    first couple of months that my ex took off. It was good. I was able to
    share the heart burns, the wins the loss's. I got a chance to share his
    children. Mine was gone. It took me a month to find her and her mom in
    Maine. 
    
    I found FUEJ thru my roomie. I found a number of things about myself
    thru viewing the roomie.
    
    We were kinda like the 90's version of the 'Odd Couple'. And it was
    comfortable. 
    
    I will put a plug in for doing it.

    One big concern.  That it will become (yet another) excuse to turn the
    screws on the NCP for "child support".  "Your Honor, they are sharing
    expenses.  So therefore they now have _even more_ money to hand over".

    It happens already even when the "roommate" is an employed female.
