Question:

Why are divorced parents held to a different standard than the standard to which married fathers are held?

A married father would never be required to support his children at a certain level based on his income, which is what child support requires for divorced dads.

Now is a great time to refinance and consolidate debt since interest rates are so law. But there are dangers involved.

Financial adviser Dan Danford explains why many debtors seek the debt consolidation route in order to pay off several debts by taking on just one new - albeit large - debt.

Danford, CFP®, CRSP®, MBA, also addresses how debt consolidation can negatively affect your credit score.

There are more than three times as many single-mom households (12.7 million) as there are single-dad households (4 million), according to the U.S. Census.

Unfortunately, divorced dads raising children as a single-parent household have a difficult row to hoe.

Can I temporarily modify child support because of this even though the property division payout was a one-time payment?
