I was married in muskogee ok and had 5 children in this marriage and was granted 500.00 a month for child support. In 18 years Oklahoma never helped me recover a dime of it.And yes no electricity at times and other times not even a can of soup to feed all 5 children. Why because I never had the measly 25.00 to file on the dad.And yes daddy still runs free and stays drunk. Thanks for no assistance Oklahoma ..
