A sometimes elusive form of income that single mothers seek from their sperm partner. The amount paid out is usually determined by the sperm donor's income. If you are careless, and work a mediocre job, your paychecks will look terribly rediculous due to the obstraction of child support payments given to the mother through the welfare system.

2) A bad idea when both parents want to spend equal time with the children.

When a parent calls one of his/her children for help when assistance is needed with a computer, cell phone, DVR, etc.
