A man has sparked online debate after alleging that a judge mandated him to contribute only thirteen dollars each month toward his child’s upkeep, despite previously providing three hundred dollars weekly.
He explained that he had been voluntarily supporting his daughter before encountering a short‑term financial setback.
“I Was Contributing $300 Each Week” – Father States
He noted that he used to give the child’s mother three hundred dollars every week to assist with their daughter’s needs.
In addition, he said he shouldered all daycare costs and managed the daily drop‑off and pick‑up routine for the girl.
He also mentioned that he spends three days per week with his daughter.
Financial Difficulties Prompt Request for Lower Contribution
The father revealed that he recently faced monetary strain and told the mother he required a couple of months to regain stability.
He proposed cutting the weekly contribution from three hundred to one hundred fifty dollars for a brief period while he got back on his feet.
However, he asserted that rather than agreeing to the temporary reduction, she proceeded to file a formal child‑support petition.
Court Allegedly Sets Monthly Payment at Thirteen Dollars
According to the father’s account, the court ruled that he must pay merely thirteen dollars per month in child support.
He shared his reaction in the following statement:
The full story is that I was providing my baby’s mother with three hundred dollars each week. After hitting a financial rough patch, I asked for two to three months to recover and offered to reduce the amount to one hundred fifty dollars weekly. I have my daughter three days a week, handle her school drop‑offs and pick‑ups, and cover all daycare costs. Despite this, she pursued a child‑support case, and the court has now ordered me to pay thirteen dollars per month. This marks my first formal payment, with many years ahead.
He shared the following tweet to illustrate the situation: Man says he was voluntarily paying his baby mama $300 a week, but after asking for two months to recover financially, she filed for child support and was awarded just $13 a month!! 👀 — My Mixtapez (@mymixtapez) July 15, 2026
