Divorce is just plain tuff,I will tell you that I blamed my father for the divorce to, but come to find out it was both their faults. Age makes you realize alot of things believe me I stopped talking to my father for 6 years I missed those years and I will always regreat that he is my father I just couldn't see past my mother to let him in. Now we are best friends and it took 10 years to get that back. Please don't block your father out I don't want you to miss out in all those years. Good luck with everything keep your head up let them fight and you enjoy life!

The fact that you mother accepted payment as child support, it is in wholly considered gifts as it is deemed by the governance of the united states family law statutes.
