Congrats! I cannot imagine not having a child of mine living with me.
And as much as Id like to say get the child support and run with it, if you guys are on good terms, and you dont need it, dont push it.
My mom never asked my dad for child support. She never needed it so why bother. Untill one day, he decided he didnt want to see me anymore(I have spoken to him twice in the last 16 years...) so at age 10 she asked for child support just to say **** you...However, if things had stayed good between them, she never would have messed that up.
But for me, with a double income family both making 6 figures a year...it meant the money went into savings. I received my last child support payment a few months ago. Being that I already bought my own car, and paid for pretty much everything i owned from working hard, it was all there minus what used for college...it was close to 100k minus the 20 i spent for an edumacation...
So, that is something to consider, your son could have alot of things taken care of for him in the future..
well if you know anything about me its that my son is taken care of. he already has a money market acct set up that i put money into each week. and anything she pays will be added to that. so when the time comes, he will be set.
