Am I the only party receiving help?
NO! Children need consistent parenting and financial support to make the most of their developmental years. BOTH parents can help their children develop social, emotional, and intellectual skills - to their full potential. By working as a team, BOTH parents can build a strong and loving relationship with their children to help them grow up happy, healthy, and capable. But most of all, what your child needs most is BOTH OF YOU!
