I don't get this stuff. Why is the parent receiving aid and the child suggested to be under such strict scrutiny but not the parent that's providing child support? If receipts for the kid need to be itemized then why not the father's? Prove you can't provide more, show every receipt you spend and we can have a discussion on whether you need all that liquor, weed, fast food, and video games.

Why does someone have to be a deadbeat dad? I thought the hypothetical was about paying for child support. Which is what we propose... If you want to take someone's money (who is fine to part with it!) the least you can do is be fair about it. Hold onto the receipts, add them up at the end of the month, then the non primary parent does a Venmo or whatever.
