Face the problem. As the Father you are responsible for financial
support of your child/ren.
3.
Plan, how do you see completing your responsibility? Write it down.
4.
Separate finances into wants and needs (Make sure you know the difference)
5.
Add up the needs (Taking care of your children would be in the needs list, along
with housing, etc.)
6.
What is the needs total? What is your income? Is the needs total greater than
the income?
