Child support is a dangerous subject on a good day when everyone is in a good mood, so imagine that subject when everyone is in a bad mood. It brings out the worst in us. It makes us think of money grubbing ex wives and stingy ex husbands. It makes us think of kids being bartered and used. It is just not good, and I don't anyone who is happy, either man or woman with their support situation.

In my new column, Post Divorce Point of View, we discussed child support, and reading through the comments, realized that there were myths and legends that need to be dispelled. And, although this subject has been tackled many times, it is time to put out some truths that I have learned.

If you are wondering what child support is supposed to pay for, well that is pretty easy..the "necessities" of the children. Where issues come into play is what those necessities are. But, let's get back on point.

What are some myths of child support that you can add to the list?
