The place of the father & child support: the bible’s perspective
(Disclaimer: I’m writing this article since our Minister is a Christian, with a hope that his legislation of child support will be influenced by it. I have no intention to convince any of you to become a Christian – I’m not a Christian myself! I just have knowledge of the bible, have researched the scriptures and one of my hobbies is research of international history/cultures)
Payments of child support are not directly mentioned in the bible, although the financial responsibility of the father to the children, even under situations of separation or divorce, is straightforward when you read the bible.
However, the relationship between the father and his children is definitely mentioned in the bible and its importance is highly recognized in the Old Testament: First, in the Ten Commandments, where every child is directed to “Honour your father and your mother” (Exodus 20:1-21) and also to obey his father (and mother) “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother”¦“ (Deuteronomy 21, 18). Researchers of the Old Testament have noted an interesting fact – that THE FATHER is placed before the mother in those two verses, while in other places through the bible, the mother is usually mentioned to have stronger influence on the childrens’ life.
Divorce is not a modern thing, it happened also in ancient times, yet because the bible didn’t mention direct payments of child support, The Talmud (a collection of biblical articles written from 400BC to 400AC) has decided to fix this and added specific directions of payments of child support. The guidelines were that “a father must be responsible for child support payments until the child reaches the age of 6″ and if the child is in need (i.e. hungry for food) then “the father must be responsible to finance the child until he is grown up” (=13 years old).
Maymonides (the “Rambam” – (which is one of the most important figures in the eyes of all three religions – Jewish, Christians and Muslims, lived in Spain, Egypt and Morocco between 1135AC to 1204AC) has related to the relationship between a father and children in divorce, and wrote that “the commandment to respect the father is including the (obvious) expectation to spend time with the father” (Mishna Kidushin A, verse 7).
If you think that all this historical background is disconnected from reality – well it is not. I will now describe how those biblical values have affected the Supreme Court in Israel, when child support issues were on the discussion.
The legal system in Israel is interesting for New Zealanders to look at, because the modern Israel has adopted the British legal system, but on the other hand it is still influenced from the biblical heritage that is ordering to “respect the father” as described above.
Firstly, in 1943 when Israel was under the British mandate, the Jewish Rabbis have extended the obligation for child support payments from the age of 6 to the age of 15, and then under the Israeli government they extended it to the age of 18. However, when a child is not respecting the father and this includes circumstances in which the child refuses to visit the father at his place, child support payments are lowered, and in extreme cases – are totally cancelled.
In 1997, an Israeli district court judge Miller A in Tel Aviv said:
“it is not easy for court to order the cancellation of child support payments, just because there isn’t any day-to-day relationship between the children and the father. The natural thinking is to point the responsibility of the divorce at the parents, what means that the children should not bear financial stress from it. However, a father is not a visa card – so when children reach the age of 14 to 15 years and they refuse to have communication with their father, this is humiliating for the father and offensive. Such kids should not earn any financial gains from their father. From the reasons I stated before, and because the children can’t yet have financial independence, I can’t cancel the child support payments, nethertheless the father didn’t apply for it. My decision is to continue to child support payments but only for necessity needs – i.e. for nothing which will be for leisure or for extra lifestyle“ (Tel Aviv court file 14652/97)
The Supreme Court in Israel had several discussions about the child support payments, in cases where the kids are disconnected from the father (quiet a common scene in New Zealand, where the law forces the father to pay child support even if the kids live in Australia or in other countries).
In 1993 the supreme court judge Shamgar wrote in one case: “sometimes court can lower the child support payments, but needs to be done only in extreme cases of disrespect to the father” (file 1880-94), and in another supreme court case in 1994, judge Shamgar said “cancelling child support payments is an extreme step that court should use only in extreme circumstances”. In 2011,the same judge Shamgar has decided to reduce the child support payments by 50%, even that the kids were younger than 15, because:
“¢ The children ignored the father for three years, and behaved to him like a complete stranger
“¢ The father tried to make contact with the kids, with no success
“¢ The father tried to employ a professional that will help to recover the connection with the kids, with no success.
“¢ The mother chose “to sit on the fence” and not to help the father to recover the relationship with the kids
Another case study to look at, is Israeli family court decision to completely suppress all child support payments of a father to his three children, all of them older than 15 years old, and to fine the mother with 10,000NIS (around $3,000NZ). This happened in 2008 in the family court at Haifa, family court file number 59890-08. The judge explained that his decision is based on the following facts:
“¢ The kids have refused to maintain any relationship with the father
“¢ The father has asked to build relationship with the kids, but they refused
“¢ Whenever the children or their mother needed money they knew how to approach the father. But they never approached him for anything else.
“¢ The mother had very good financial status after the divorce – she sold the family house and gained profit from it.
“¢ The mother was motivated to influence the children not to see their father, because her new husband acted like “father for the kids”
I hope that those cases that I exposed today from the other side of the planet will present that there are ways to legislate a fair judicial system, which is looking at the father not only as “an asset” or as an ATM card, but also as an important figure in the life and the development of the children. New Zealand (as long as the US and AU) needs to introduce a new factors to the child support system – VALUES and RESPECT TO THE FATHER.
I am sorry if my comments are deemed offensive (they are not meant to be), but what does this (and Jewish concepts/Israeli Law) have with the realities of life for kids and Dads in NZ? The Family Court here would be even more convinced that we were at best silly and at worst completely mad if we presented this type of commentary in support of our case for care and custody. And as for its relationship to child support! IRD and Dunne won’t have a bar of it as they do not consider CS is or should be related to amount of contact kids have with their Dads (whether voluntary or enforced). I am sure Divorced Man means well (and there are some admirable statements/intentions referred to but…………..sorry this is too ridiculous for words. I have more faith in the possibility that pigs will fly than those involved in the FAC/CS systems will suddenly find a Christian conscience and apply Christian concepts as appear to be advocated here!

hmmmm… I don’t really know what to answer. I’m academic in nature so for me any theoretical concept is great to examine. Unfortunately you are probably right when it comes to the system of CS, however, I found myself struggling against blocked system like you, and I had days in which I (wrongly) thought that maybe…. maybe I am the crazy one, and not them. That maybe THEY are right, they are sensible, and I am the selfish one, I am the one that doesn’t really understand. After researching a bit I was encouraged to find that there IS common sense and that I am actually not the “last Mohegan” on this planet. So even if it is just encouraging for (just one another) divorced man, than I played my role.
Comment by Divorced Man — Fri 14th September 2012 @ 6:51 pm
Thank you. I find this interesting. When a child is enchoraged to act badly to a father, so much so that the child would not hesitate to destroy the father I would agree that it would be immoral to pay child support.

When a child calls a father on fathers day and calls him a c..t and his wife a whore, who would pay another cent?
Comment by Mikey — Fri 14th September 2012 @ 7:41 pm
Mikey (#4); “when a child calls a father on fathers day” it means you are at least being thought about!! What the child says may be more a reflection of what has been drummed into him / her by the “custodial / controlling” parent. I got my first fathers day call in 2 years this year, from a daughter who is now nearly 18. She had made some quite “interesting” observations about me in the past; I knew precisely where those observations had come from. Suffice to say; daughter has finally realized that it is only her mum that harbored the hatred and daughter now refuses to echo her mothers (irrational) sentiments; better still, daughter and I have finally normalized our relationship.
Comment by Bruce S — Fri 14th September 2012 @ 10:58 pm
@ Mikey. If a child is being alienated to that extent it is my experience that they don’t recover from adopting hatred as their acceptable emotional norm. Also that they are inclined to encourage others to be the same as them, adopt the same opinion, fairly normal human behaviour once that ingrained belief is installed and also they are simply repeating their own learned experience. Teaching children to hate in such a fashion is irrational inhuman behaviour. I quite sadly recall helping a gentleman in a similar situation where such behaviour was an ongoing issue. I sat in court as a Mackenzie friend and watched him explain (amongst other things) how the mother had brought his alienated daughter to his home where they stood outside the property yelled abuse and threw eggs at the house. The end result was that the judge laughed about it and told the woman – “Now Mrs X, we just can’t have you running about the streets making pavlova like this can we.” She thought it was a good joke and laughed too, she obviously appreciated the support for her behaviour from the judge and acknowledgment of her parenting skills from the family court. He like other men received no help and support to deal with the issues he faced and wanted addressed. Unfortunately the family court is not the place to seek help in such circumstances, they don’t take these issues seriously, nor do cyfs. It is not something I feel you should leave unaddressed and the only suggestion I have is to write a letter to your child’s school asking if they could assist in addressing the child’s abusive behaviour. I have found teachers more inclined to the respond to the children’s needs than family court hypocrites. It is not always the case but letting teachers know can produce good results. Simply saying; why should I be paying child support and not taking some action in support of the child (in the hope that things will one day get better) is probably not going to produce good results. Of course you will keep a copy of that letter.

K, I have been reading comments from this site from time to time, have taken a front seat next to my partner through all his custody/child support ‘traumas’ and feel so disheartened, pissed-off and sick that still nothing can be done. So, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?!!! to alleviate, soften, demolish these prejudices and alienating circumstances against ‘good, level-headed fathers out there’. Many of the problems are ringing the same bell but still there seems to be no movement closer to the solution. Yes the family court are a destructive intervention for many, for us too, but how can we take action to start making bigger steps towards justice for fathers?!!!? How, how, how.?
Comment by Lee — Sat 15th September 2012 @ 2:59 pm
When you look at the states expectation of men the only social obligation that is rigorously enforced is financial. If you put this in the context of a social model for the operation of a society and place that alongside the family court as an enforcement unit, you have a complete power shift into the hands of women. Authority over children, matrimonial homes, and a state sponsored claim on the financial benefit of a father’s labour. Women in New Zealand have a freedom above social responsibility that allows them to enjoy not being held accountable for their actions and that is rapidly undermining the social construct which we expect our children to succeed in. No quick fix from the outcomes of 40 years of feminist social engineering but it helps to know which side you are on.
Comment by Down Under — Sat 15th September 2012 @ 3:58 pm
#5 Bruce – I’m glad for you, I heard (from friends) that in the end the children understand, and if you play fair with them, in the end they appreciate it.
Comment by Divorced Man — Sat 15th September 2012 @ 9:50 pm
@Mikey – cheers mate. Problem that even in those extreme circumstance that you experience, according to the NZ law you must pay!! This is horrible I think, and of course letting the woman play with the kids and with us. IF the act said something like “the child support payments are conditional with normalized relationship with the paying parent” oh my! I think those Exes will make sure the father is being loved and appreciated, at least until the age of 19

So even if the father is not good to his children and makes it so they don’t want to be around him, they should still be made to go to his place? And a woman should have to be solely responsible for her children even though her marriage fell apart and became loveless(always being belittled and put down, and made to feel inferior)
Comment by Divorced woman — Tue 10th November 2015 @ 3:30 am
#6 pure, unadulterated relationship vandalism, based on legal worker’s paramount financial interests:
Divorced woman has some good points. These are points that might be made by a parent who had been given insufficient support.
However, these are also points easily made by a parent who has failed to understand both parents’ duty to share in bringing up their children and whose need for ego wants to use the children as pawns in the fight between parents. These parents would rather crush the children’s lives, than admit there was anything good about the other parent (who they had a child with). These parents are unable to see anything good in the other parent, whether it is there or not? Doesn’t really look like a safe and healthy parent? How cruel and how stupid does a judge need to be, to support such a parent?
These are points that might be made by a parent who had been given insufficient support, possibly that no amount of support would have been enough?
Either way, parents who understand their children’s needs, don’t take value from vandalising their children’s relationships with anyone, least of all their previous lover. Good parents understand the value of relationships and protect them. Judges cannot see the value of relationships, they just value other people’s money.

So even if the ‘mother’ is not good to her children and makes it so they don’t want to be around her, they should still be made to go to her place? (Live with her) And a woman should have to be solely responsible (ever heard of child support) for her children even though her marriage fell apart and became loveless (The male always being belittled and put down, and made to feel inferior)
Comment by DJ Ward — Wed 11th November 2015 @ 8:21 am
A Christian father should not have to pay child support because the children should be in his custody. The bible is clear that the father is to rule over his household. If we are brutally honest than we have to look to what the bible says and what God has willed for the family structure. The wife does not have the power to usurp the father’s authority and woe to any woman who tries to keep a GOOD father from his children. Before I get attacked… this does not apply to absent or abusive fathers. An absent father wanting no relationship with their children is already in violation of God’s will for him. The bible is clear that he needs to provide for his own and if he doesn’t than the bible says one should not associate with him. Not divorce, disassociate… meaning SEPARATE! Same for an abusive father… God is clear that we are to discipline our children which is NOT the same as abuse. He disciplines in love, teaches them, and does not provoke them to anger. When I say a father should have custody of the kids, I’m talking about good God-fearing Christian father’s whose children have been ripped from him by the will of the wife/ex-wife. In that sense I absolutely believe that he should have custody of his children regardless of what the mother feels she is entitled to. If she does believe she has more right to the child than a good Christian father… she needs to take that up with God and get to reading her bible. PERIOD!
Comment by Christina — Fri 20th November 2015 @ 7:51 am
I agree with the comment
#15. Coming from a U.S. standpoint and a believer of Christ my husband and I are experiencing child support
Issues with his 9 year old son and his mother (an ex girlfriend). To top it off the mother is also a believer but goes to a church wear the women don’t cut their hair because according to the bible the hair is “the glory of a woman” and where they only wear long sleeves and long skirts everywhere they go. Which is not a problem if that’s what a woman chooses to do, however she bible thumps and says (after my husband consistently has been in the child’s life for 9 years and pays non court ordered child support but lost his business recently and wasn’t able to pay the consistent amount for 1 year as he was trying to get back on his feet and for us to not go homeless) she then bible thumps and says to him “the bible says the father is to provide.” It’s been 6 months now, she’sade it impossible for us to see him, and the son now too (who loved being with us prior to her viciousness and lack of mercy) also was turned and doesn’t
Want to see us anymore. Using that she now says our family can’t see him because he’s having nightmares about his father” and shortly after sent child support services on my husband. My husband is a good man, he believes In God and never gives up on his son despite what his mother has tried to do, but he did let go for a couple of months because he saw his son being torn in half. We’ve decided to fight for his fatherhood rights in court now. Let’s just say we are dealing with a religious spirit that is twisting and using the bible to her own advantage. The father should “provide” for his “home” not for the child’s daily ice cream, and private school especially when the mother’s own father is a wealthy millionaire from China and the father just lost his business and is trying to not go homeless. And let’s just say if the son was in our home, he would be lived, nurtured, and cared for, as God does provide for our household’s basic needs when times are tough, he still always comes thru. Secondly, how can a woman who doesn’t “cut” her glory (her hair) still is willing to cut the glory of her son? The bible states the “glory of the children is their father.” Thanks for sharing this, we hope to keep these ways in mind, although America is different, as if they give all the power to the mother just to brake down the men and good fathers of our nation, we still have high hopes that God’d judgement will speak in the court system and that we’ll get our son back, that he starts loving to be with us again as how he was the 3 years before this happened, to reunite with his little brother again, and for him to experience life again with the non negotiable fact that he has a father who loves him and works hard everyday so that he can go further in life. He’s 9 now, he’s a young man, and who better to teach him than his own father? Crazy baby mama dramas–don’t forget to put your child first, or else u will miss out on a glorious blessing and your own child will miss out on his God-given blessing as well.
Comment by Lyndie — Thu 4th February 2016 @ 8:58 pm
Let me explain what God says fathers should pay in terms of child support when their wife divorces them, or when they divorce their wife. Do you want to take a guess? If you get a concordance and search for the words “child support” in the Bible you will not find those words. If you look for the words “custodial parent” or “noncustodial parent” or most of the other words contained in the divorce laws of the various states of the U.S., you will not find them. You will not find the term “alimony” either. The exact amount of child support that was to be paid was zero dollars … nothing (Deut. 24:1-4; Gen. 21:10-14). And one of the reasons why divorce was much rarer was because the divorced wife always got the children, and the father had no rights of visitation (Gen. 21:14; Ezra 10:2-3). What was the result? On one hand, wives did not want to risk losing their stable financial partner in hopes of finding a new husband who might be willing to pay to raise her children whom the new husband had not fathered. On the other hand, husbands did not want to lose their children (especially their sons) whom they were raising and bonding with and expected to make junior partners later in their life-endeavors.
America’s current child support laws make it easy for a wife to desert a stable financial provider, because she knows the government will force him to pay her substantial monies for the children she bore him (for up to 18 years), even though she is making love to a new husband, and even though the government does not make the new husband financially accountable to raise the kids. While the ex-wife is brainwashing the kids on a regular basis to believe their father is a bad man (in order to make the ex-wife appear less guilty to others for divorcing him, and for fear that the children might continue to love their old dad, and then turn against the conniving mom as they mature and discern what she is really like), meanwhile, the ex-husband has to pay so much money for child support that he cannot afford to marry a more deserving woman and start a family with her to raise up children of their own.
Notice that when God told Abraham to divorce Hagar in Genesis 21 (i.e., “send her away”) their son, Ishamael, was considered her “property” and accompanied her. Notice also that Abraham provided her with a “skin of water” to slake her thirst in her wilderness journey. God did not tell Abraham to provide any spousal support or any child support. God did not tell Hagar to allow Abraham to visit his former son. She lost the breadwinner of the family, permanently. He lost his first-born son, permanently.
This is God’s way, which is the wisest way. If God’s way were followed, people would not get divorce for frivolous reasons. Modern divorce law is simply a strong temptation for women to dominate their husbands and to rob their husbands financially if the grass looks greener in another pasture. Consequently, too many women succumb to this temptation and divorce rates are at an all-time high, and broken families are the result. This also leads to men: (1) not willing to marry a woman, but only have her as a girlfriend [to avoid spousal support], and (2) avoiding having children [to avoid child support]. How can this be healthy for any race in the long run?
It is misguided for preachers or Christians to say “the Bible says that fathers are responsible to care for their children” in the case of divorce. As Deuteronomy 21 and other passages show, once a divorce takes place, the children go with the mother, and they are no longer under the care and protection of their former father. In other words, when a mother divorces her husband, she not only cuts herself off from all further help from him, but cuts off her children from all further help from him. And the former father is cut off from his former children.

Recent events with Covid had helped me look at this subject from a different perspective.
So when is Child Support reasonable to force on a person.
As stated in others comments.
If they abandon.
If they are so bad they must be excluded.
By agreement.
Necessary due to circumstance.
But other situations exist.
So an example.
A virus occurs causing government to force a business to close.
That is wrong to do that.
To close a persons business.
So the government compensates the owner.
It may be barely enough, but it’s understood why.
They are trying to be good, and defeat the virus.
Child Support can look then, like this.
The government is confiscating the business.
There is no beyond reasonable doubt why.
The government has excluded the owner from contact.
It has designated a CEO who hates the owner.
And will do anything to keep the owner away.
The government takes the business profits.
And asset strips if required.
So an example.
The government needs a persons house and land.
It can be for good reasons.
The public good.
It however will be fair.
And even if litigation happens for some reason.
A fair compensation will be made.
Recently happened to my mother, and it was fair.
Child Support can look then, like this.
The government takes a persons house and land.
The are allowed no contact with it.
At best supervised visits.
The government will assign a caretaker for the house.
Who hates the owner.
The owner will be forced to pay rates.
And the caretakers rent payment to the government.
There is a huge difference between reasonable obligations.
And having things forced upon you.
Or forcefully taken from you.
One is life.
One is slavery.

I am a mother I do not agree with this because the father needs to help the mother on raising the child. There are some fathers out there that don’t care that don’t call or text or anything. Just like there are some mothers out there that does the same thing. Just like my ex husband he hasn’t called or anything in 15 months his wife called around Christmas last year and she had to make him talk to our child. I don’t keep our child away from him because he is her father and he needs to be able to see her. He hasn’t even paid child support in 15 months and it’s only $300 a month I don’t harass him about it or anything. Everyone has their own opinion on this subject which they should and every situation is different. But you cannot help what the non custodian parent does you just need to make sure the child is happy and taken care of in a safe environment and the child is not harmed in any kind of way physically and mentally. Like I said this is my opinion and everyone has their own opinions

What conflict exists between you and the father.
Does he have a protection order against him?
Sadly males walking off, is common.
Next to no research why.
Did you offer him 50:50 care when you separated.
No you didn’t.
You said it in words, painting a standardised picture.
Of the absent father.
Was the pregnancy consenting.
Did you get pregnant, to force him into a relationship.
Or to try and make him stay in the relationship.
Or did he just not count.
You wanted to be a mum.
Picking a low income, family court safe male.
Men walk off due to female psychological violence.
And a society, with an anti father, culture.
What have you done, to him.
My guess is you took 100% offering him next to nothing.
Some males can’t handle female Power & Control behaviours.
Where access to the child, relies on demands of the mother.
What demand have you made?
Around his compliance.
Females are also very dangerous to men.
Best just to ignore them, if any conflict is possible.
Females can lie to get Power & Control.
And arrest of males, is top priority, in any situation.
Destroying the males legal rights.
In all circumstances.
Nothing women hate more that a male that tried to love, but couldn’t. Then just walked off, pretending the women never existed to them. The door shut.
“Where is the child’s father” asked the concerned human.
It’s his fault.
I tried everything, to get him to comply to my demands.
He just walked away.
Obviously I’m Stereotyping Amy.
So may not be your story Amy.
Sorry if it’s not.

I recently had a CS Review. The mother wanted more than the $3000 I provide each month for our three children. She works 4 days per week, 6 hours per day. She has had these hours for 3 years before we separated. She claims her expenses are over $10,000 per month. Even after proving she had overstated her costs, the assessor ignored her dishonesty. She will get more. The syphoning of money is the only efficient process in separation/divorce/family court. Money is valued more than a father’s relationship with his children. It has been like this for years from what I can tell. It doesn’t matter how many father’s walk away or cross over – it will never change. This website is becoming an obituary.

$10,000 a month.
$333 a day to live.
Must have expensive habits.
The minimum wage is about $110 a day.
Less than you pay, after tax influence.
Why isn’t the maximum of Child Support 1/2 that figure.
Isn’t she 1/2 responsible as well.
Seems she wants all care, no responsibility.
Government the enabler, the enforcer.
With there corrupt ideology of matriarchy, that you pay for.
Clean break, is a ball and chain, only attached to men.
Some very blunt words.
If she wasn’t woman enough to keep the relationship going.
Why the hell is the victim of her incompetence getting screwed.
Is she not, like men, responsible, for lives outcomes.
Seems woman can be incompetent, and then reap the rewards.
Broken, family, children, and father.
But she must be paid, well above costs.
Profiting, by a bigoted political culture.
That hates, and preys on men.
If she can’t look after the kids without your help.
Why aren’t the kids with you, so you can help them.
When her incompetence, with ideology, you are now forced to support.
With entitlements, childcare is cheaper.
And highly likely, better parenting.
You could be a full time dad, for less.
Rip off, thieves.
And yes, men suicide, with Child Support as a big influence.
Actual, or as a future result, crushing there will, and reward, to live.
So murdering, rip off, thieves.
Bring on 50:50 and no child support.
As a legal right.
