I think this is excellent advice... if you can support your children on your own and if they are not being deprived and not living without necessities.

However, if I were in your shoes and I could not adequately support my children to the point, let's say, that I couldn't afford to buy new shoes for them or a coat when one needs it, or money for a field trip at school, I would go after their father for his share of the support. I couldn't watch my children going without while their father sat on his lazy a$$.
