Well I don't think that is it. becuase then wouldn't they have gotten that money back when Buffy had to start working at the Double Meat Palace? This is a little off topic her, but does anyone know if they are re-doing the Magic Shop? That could get them money if they re-open it for business.

chiuld support wont evn buy cat food
plus theres the constant destruction ie. conversations with dead people granted it wasnt really fixed after that but usually they do
and repairs cost money
the check giles gave her would have probably only got them out of debt cause in flooded they were talking about 'lots of zeros' after the number so yeh thats where that went
plus theres a complete lack of reality, hello buffy has prada stuff
AS IF!

You mean child support? He'd only be obligated to pay child support for Dawn because she's below the age of 18; not Buffy though. After 18, the money stops coming lol. It may depend on the situation, but I think child support varies in amount. I know that my dad pays $139 for me every week; I don't know if that would be considered a lot or a little to some people...Originally posted by Allycat
Maybe alimentation (sp?) from Hank Summers?

Child support is depending on the current income as well, so while some pay a seemingly little amount of cash it is the same percentage as those paying more (unless they of course willingly exceed it).
Anyways I think they cashed out some big insurance from Buffys death. Those money has just been stashed away for awhile 😉

Yeah, I know what that like. Maybe he doesn't even care and since he's in another country, its not like the US police can go arrest him overseas. I know, my dad supposedly lives in Canada. Haven't heard from him in 5 years. No child support in 6 years and I'm only 16.
This is just one of those things where you assume that there is an ommision somewhere unless they show it in an episode.
Where does Buffy find the time to do her guidance councilor work while all this stuff is going on. Well, the writers were kind enough to put a few spots in where we can see her doing the job in spite of the recent turmoil, and so we do indeed know that she is still doing her job. If there was no plot reason to air these sequences of her sitting in her office, then we would be seeing threads on the forums saying 'Has buffy lost her job'?
The fact is that even if you can't see it it, it may exist later as a plot device, or it may not. Everything that happens beyond the scope of the show is 'grey area' and grey area is available for molding by the writers to be what they see fit. Xander may be slipping them 100-spots under the table, or they may be getting child support, or Tara may have left willow as the beneficiary of her life insurance. Giles may have set up a trust fund. Willow might run a massively succesful website that brings in scads of money via advertisments (although that idea is pushing the limits of belief). Spike may be pimping Dawn out on the streets at night and slipping the proceeds into the cookie-jar. Who knows?
We will know when it becomes relevant. One thing we DO know however, is that somehow they are finding the money. This is canon at this point. After all, put the writers to the test and they'll make up a plausible reason for you, but why waste the effort?
