At present, if you are involved in the Family Court System, YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN DESTROYED WITH LITTLE, TO NO CHANCE OF RECONCILIATION, YOU ARE BEING DENIED YOUR UNITED STATES CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and YOU HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO INDIGENT INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE; FACT!

At present, if you believe you are ‘not’ involved in the Family Court System, You Are Seriously Mistaken and Purposefully Mislead; Read why on our Page entitled “Slippin’ It By the People!” You will be shocked and appalled to find out how and why your ‘TAX’ money is involved through Federal Incentive Programs, and how you have been seriously lied to; THAT’S A FACT. (How many Federally Funded (tax payer funded, a honest term for once), programs with TAX PAYER DOLLAR ‘INCENTIVES’ ROUTED THROUGH THE FEDERAL RESERVE are in place, with deception at their core?)) That’s correct folks… The FEDERAL RESERVE, a Private Bank passing itself off as a Federal Agency or Entity is at the core of this Unconstitutional mess!

Many people today are concerned with our Society succumbing to corruption. My Question for you is this: After reading the above page entitled “Slippin’ It By the People!” , watching the videos below and after spending some time researching and understanding the comments that flood these pages; Is it not ‘well past time’ to stop the corruption before we get to the point of no return?

UPDATE: “On June 15 2011 around 5:30 pm, a 58-year-old New Hampshire father named Thomas Ball self-immolated in front of the Cheshire County Court House.” Click: Video Now read what the news skirted around in the video: Click: The Last Statement .

      Been through all of the above comments. C/S being missued on new boyfriends/husbands and even their children! Not being able to see my own sons and daughter because the court system allowed my ex to move 150 miles away to move in with a new internet met boyfriend and his 6 children. She eventually married this looser and then the abusive phone calls and e-mails started.

      Not being included in decisions that directly effect the children is wrong and supported by the court. An obligor is only an ATM machine! Not a parent!

      After 30 years of this punishment, I just recieved a notice yesterday of the termination of support. In fact I overpaid some of it! Thank GOD it’s finally OVER!!!

      Enough has been said above, all of which I agree with.

    3. Adam Bethea

      i back this all the way.

    4. John

      I haven’t had a child due to the fear mongering I have seen in the system. A friend of mine was really put through the ringer by the system. I support your cause. I am a firm believer in our rights under the united stated constitution. Call it what you will, but I believe every person on this earth is entitled to the freedoms we once enjoyed. It doesn’t have to be like this, we need change. There are too much politics in the system, too much greed.

      Speak the truth, even if they strike you down. The truth will set us free.

    5. Sheila Lugo

      The system is indeed broke. When a ex-wife can come back several years later and say you didn’t pay the child support right or if any and the courts can make you (apparently) pay back child support, even if the ex never brought this issue up before. My husband’s son is now 36 years old and she never raised him, her mother did and now she is trying to get an attorney to put a child support lien on my husband for back child support. This witch, changed his last name without my husband’s consent at age 15 (they say they published it), inwhich I found through the newspaper files that it was ran 1 day in a small Texas newspaper where they lived for 1 day and expecting the father to dispute it when the father lived in California and sure didn’t get the pooo dunk newspaper. We faught in court several times to prove she was keeping him from his father for his visitation, but the court never did a thing about it and would only address her issue that was to increase the child support she was getting. It’s a real shame on what the ex wifes try and hold over their ex husbands and how they use their children to try and get back at them too. They forget these are children, not animals and they should never be kept from the other parent on a divorce. Children need both parent’s and it just isn’t right. Thank you all for listening to me fuss, but you really get tired of it after awhile. SGL

      I support the Child Support Reform with every breath in my body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      My child’s mother and I went to see a sitter before she gave birth. The sitter was the wife of one of her co-workers. We were quoted a price and decided to chose this person. Things didn’t work out between the mother and I. she took me to couurt for support two weeks after our child was born. During supprt, she claimed that the cost of childcare was $50 more a week than we were quoted. ($200 more per month) I pleaed my case to the judge, the judge didn’t want to hear it. I even showed the judge prices of licensed daycare centers that didn’t charge that much, and this women wasn’t even licensed. The judge didn’t care. when i asked for reicepts for payment, the judge told me she didn’t have to supply them. I was forced to pay this outrageous amount for support and childcare and the mother walked out of the court laughing. The court system is definately bias and unfare !!!!

    8. VICKIE MALONE

      I support Child Support Reform!!! It’s time for change for this law that does nothing but put people in jail for not being able to pay child support. The law is causing mayhem and madness among families, the custodial parent (usually the mother) doesn’t even know that they are being tricked into a system that rob the other parent of their money and then without question (only assumption) puts you in jail if you should miss payments due to no fault of your on.

      I strongly believe that if we stick together on changing the laws to child support reform their would less crowding in jails and peace of mind for all of us.

      An enemy has done this. What would an enemy of our country want. 1) To kill the strength in our country before they are even born or in their youth. This will do it. I wonder if we could have a “system restore” on our government laws?

    13. Kenneth W. Patterson Jr

      I have been paying child support for 23 years. I am 41 years old and I haven’t seen an income tax refund check since I was 19. My eldest daughter is 24 and while I don’t really blame the system totally—I am disgruntled somewhat with them because it drove my daughter’s new family away from me. We had a relationship when she was in her single digits. I was trying to patch up the spots that I’d left blank–time that you really can’t get back but you try to make the most of it for the sake of fatherhood. I got off to a late start trying to be a father to my eldest daughter. I don’t blame the state for that. I knew where she was and I had a way to get to her. That part I was trying to correct. I was young dealing with whatever feelings I still had for my ex at the time. We were over for sure, but her husband then and now (and her as well) and I were working that out on our own terms.
      Even they had decided the little rinky-dink job I had at McDonald’s wasn’t even enough to help them as they had kids of their own also.

      My ex and I were due in court on a certain date and she actually told me that she would tell the judge that she didn’t want it anymore because what I was making and what the system was sending was not helping her and new family at all. The judge looked at my ex and told her that she (the judge) would determine if my ex needed it or not. My ex was infuriated by this and she told her husband. I went by on one of my patch-up visits and my ex and her new family along with my eldest had moved to Colorado. I did get to see her a few more times when they would visit in the summer, but things slowly started to change with my eldest child and me. When she turned 14 she told me that she no longer wanted anything to do with me. I don’t have a problem with doing what I have to do or can do for my child.
      Even if it means I have to give the money to her mother. She’s 25 now and we still haven’t spoken really. I have a granddaughter I may never meet. For all I know, I probably have 2 grandchildren. And where does any system get off feeling that they can tell you how to feel about your children and what you can and can’t do for your children?

      I have ready every story on this page and I know that this happens in the system.

      It’s amazing that it has taken this long to recognize a problem that was screaming to be heard a LONG time ago….better late than never!

      Delaware County Ohio is corrupt as they come. They want to put me in jail because I lost my job, have NO money, and fell behind on child support. They just don’t care and now they want to make me a criminal.

    17. John T. Harris

      I am free now, but for about 4 years my life was a living hell. The corrupt system destroyed my family and my faith in government. Remember, all of the evil aspects of the CS system are a direct result of FEDERAL intervention.
      I took names and I will remember. Payback is coming.

    18. maria toro

      I do agree and support that their should be a reform on how child support cases are handled by the state. I believe that the courts make the mistake in handing over is children to this so call parents being responsible jusit for being there. Sorry to say that’s not enough what would they do if there was no TANF & CS they would have to go out their in work to provide food and shelter for their kids. The court in cases like this should consider giving custody to the person who can already provided for that child well being. I don’t understand how courts say that they are looking for the best interest of a child when they see only one parent working while the other does nothing. I understand that parents should pay to provide for their kids but it should be deem equal for that child that they both conceived.Why should one parent have to go to jail while the other gets a slap on the hand for doing the same. I really do hope their is change, this being my honest opioion on the matter.I do hope all you good honest hard working Fathers/Mothers going through all this get heard.

      I can’t believe I found this site. I have been going through this nightmare for eight years. I am a mother signed over custody to an abusive ex-husband and father. He kept my children from me and I did everything I could to see them and to get them out of that situation and it was always my word against his. The change of custody was in 1994 and even though I supported them in other ways, bought them clothes, toys, paid for their trips to see me when he would allow it that didn’t matter. He went on welfare in 2000 and came after me for support. My sons are now 25 and 23 and I am still paying even though I have paid this obligation off. I am dealing with two states that I have been fighting with to get the child support calculations to match. Both states say it is the other states fault. I could go on and on about my ordeal. Whoever is running this site if you want to contact me directly I would be happy to provide you with additional information and help in anyway that I can.

      Help!,..I gave all to my X wife,…after she walked out on me and took residence with her friend I gave her out of respect for my kids,.(2) daughters,.My son stayed with me by my side,.$200.00 a week with no court order. After she filed for the divorce they came up with an order of what was suppoesed to be temporary support amount of $670.00 per week, that was based on an assumption that my ligit tax return was frraudulent because I was self employed as a contractor, (sole Prop),.(home improvements) so they inputed additional income. After paying $670.00 per week for 3 years and handed her $175 K in cash before the house was even sold, I filed for a reduction because due to the economy I wasnt making the money I made in 2004,..its now 2007 and recession has eaten me alive, im going out of business! When I got to court the judge told me I have no right modifying the decree because I have not sold the home and give her the lump sum she was agreed to get in the negotiations. I explained that the home was on tha market and not selling, originally appraised at $800 K. he advised me to reduce it untill it sold and I further explained that I would not be able to pay her what she bargained for if I did that,..well he told me it was my problem and I would have to continue paying the $700. per week,..here we are 2010 im like 50 K in the rears being made a dead beat dad after giving my x wife over 400K in distribution and support my children dont even talk to me and they took my drivers liscense away. I have Ulcerative colitis Bleeding ulser’s from the stress, rotator cuff surgery 5 screws and have been an unemployed for nearly 1.5 yrs, now they reduced my support to 240.00 a week,..hello!!,..I have no job or money left, live in a trailer park with my girlfriend by the graces of my 77 year old fathers financial help!,..What am I supposed to do now??,..I cand do masonry work anymore my 50 year old body is torn up and there’s no home improvement industry at the present time in Florida. Does anybody care???? I just can hope to die! She has a 300 K judgement and almost 50 K in the arears in just 2 years. I can never have a life financially again! She never had to work a job while married to me for the sake of our children and after 15 yrs of marrage I am left with owing her for the rest of my natural life! HELP ME!!!! PLEASE!!!

    23. Michael Faulkner

      Hopefully the reform will include more visiation for custodial parents and a reduction in payment from 21 per cent for one child to 17 per cent.

    24. David Robertson

      I have been through hell the last four years. I think non-custodial parents need to start gathering and finding ways to combat the courts corruption. I don’t advocate violence but as my grand father used to say ” there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. We must buck the system. It is the only way.

      I’m in Louisiana and forced to pay an abusive bipoler mother who turned her kids against me, have no longer a relationship with. Went to court over 40 times. My own lawyer droped me, got money stolen from another lawyer, kept from going to trial because I had too much incriminating evidence on the ex! This is the biggest scam of our nation!
      The system turns loving Dads into their money making machines!

      Most of the bad things child support can do have been done to me. I look for work every week and have been unemployed for a long time, but that matters little to the system.

      My name is Kathy Bertschy. My web-site is: fight4sadie.blogspot.com. My email is: fighting4sadie@live.com. Please feel free to follow my site as I unfold my horrific fight for my child/children and my plight to bring PUBUC AWARENESS to this ridiculous situation of over extorted non-payment of Child Support. There is absolutely NO support systems for the non-custodial parent only condemnation.The Deadbeat label is far to common of an accusation which does not describe most parties in this situation. Its a form o fpublic humiliation and ostracization When in fact the non-custodial parent also fall pray to circumstances beyond control and sometimes non-recovery when being prosecuted, and they too need just as much support and help as the custodial parent.. Its unfair for both sides of the coin. .It also keep the fight between the parties on going, which also raises revenue with in the city and job security for the overly paid, over educated lazy attorney’s (especially in my cases). I too want to speak out an join in the fight for REFORM. Debtors prison is recognized as lawful in most “states” constitution and utilized viciously by the courts systems for revenue by throwing one parent in jail while the other is forced into welfare…now the state supports BOTH parties and that is perceived as a WIN situation? NO! It is NOT! I would love to join you and others to present the problems and a hopeful solution….
      There was a web-site called the courthouseforums.com that allowed you to rate the Judges in your area but recently was taken down due to the dis-favor one particular Judge received repeatedly . You can read more about it if you google Xollie Duncan and read the 20 year sentence her husband (Judge Clinger) handed down from a civil case Judge Xollie Duncan handled. Since then she has filled the Benton County, Ar jail to the brim with anyone who crosses her court with non-payment of child support regardless of the circumstances. The tag teaming of the Judges presents a biased conflict of interest border lining on conspiracy (definition of conspiracy - any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result). …in my opinion. Harsh words…yes! Very harsh especially if your the object of their intentions… and im not going to apologize for my lack of eloquence …Thank you for reading.

      There are those of us who love our kids and pay our Child support but are now being faced with the lack of employment and or are now unemployed are facing jail time because there are no jobs

      Plus the fact that for whatever the reasons may be, those who have married again to another,

      I believe it is unconstitutional to force the current spouse who is not the parent of the Child to pay under the guise of what the current spouse being into the marriage financially as income

      I live in a small town where the divorce court chancery judge makes the law as he goes. And he is always on the mothers side no matter what. Most men don’t want divorce for their childrens sake and happyness. My spouse wakes up one day and decides she wants a divorce. Excuse there is no love and I’m not happy. So what my 2 sons that are very happy and say Dad we are all happy what is wrong with mom we have a perfect family. She replies I just want to be happy and then come the lies and deceipt against the father. I had thirty thousand in savings. Spent it all on child support, spousal support and attorney fee’s before I even got to divorce court. It took a little over two years. Fathers are looked at by judge as just a payer with no rights. I had stated I will take my case all the way to the supreme court to have my boys half the time. My wife and 3 other of her family members were under arrest and charged with my beating, and false inprisonment, and destroying evidence. I was tied at my own home and beaten by my wifes family because I would not leave my home. Its been three years and they are still not prosecuted. I have four plastic disc, four bone graphs, four metal rods and screws and and some kind of plate in front of my spine in my back after being beaten. This happened in my driveway after I come home from my sons ballgame. The small town court out smarted me and stalled the court long enough to break me so I could not fight them any longer. DA does not return my calls because of his mistakes in law advice. How does this happen in our country. Total corruption in small hill billy towns. Read the bible about divorce it is quite clear on divorce and simple. The bible has an answer for anything but the United States has become so corrupt and the morals are thrown out the door. God is kicked out of schools. There is absolutely NO support systems for the non-custodial parent only condemnation. A father feels like he has no rights and has been raped after a divorce. You can get relief in prayer and know that the judges that judged wonderful fathers and mothers unfairly along with corrupt attorneys and DA’s will be judged by God on the basis they judged others. We must pray for their souls. There will be the day of true justice. It could be better on earth now. I support your movement.

      The courts have given women an incentive to get a divorce. A nice check from Dad every month. Mom does as she pleases and adventually turns her back on her children to whore around, drink and party. The court system has coused many divorces and divorces will continue until the money is taken completly out of the picture. Remember you law makers you have given mothers a big money incentive and money is the root of all evil. What ever happened to better or for worse. Law makers it is time for you to act. We all are watching the best country in the world slowly becoming a third world country. Law Makers don’t tant God with taking him out of your buildings and our schools. That is worse than Sodom and Gomora in Gods eyes. Fear God and do the right thing not what your buddy wants.

      Family Court is so Corrupt, Shame on All the Family Court Judges.

    36. Rob Freese

      The current Child Support System is flawed and many of us paying support are being rail-roaded by County Attorneys and Enforcement agencies who have no real interest in our children but rather in the financial ruin of us, as parents for sake of the custodial parent. The custodial parent is fully furnished with legal representation to a T, and those of us struggling to survive are left just outside of hells gate, with not even an ioda of where to turn for any kind of help! There’s not a single congressman, senator…or legislator who will ever have the “pair” to champion our cause because it will effectively cost them the female vote! Without the woman’s vote..the politician cannot be elected! I am signing this attempt at reform in the hopes that SOMETHING can be done, for the highest percentage of us there is no light at the end of the tunnel…and this affects our children, belive it or not! I pray that our Government can help solve this financial crisis for a remarkably large amount of Americans whose list is growing larger and deeper in debt by the minute. We cannot afford to buy a vehicle or to attempt to crawl out of our desperate and dire circumstances as a result of being bilked by an unfair and unconstitutional set of rules geared towards the benefit of others around our children, using them as the reason when in fact a lrage amount of our support actually pays the bills of these attorneys, their case workers…judges etc. etc. If the best interest of my children is truely at heart then why am I constantly being bombarded for more and more intrest on my arrears? Why is it that there is not a Child Visitation Enforcement Agency? The 2 are held seperately for many reasons yet no legislation exists as a result of having my childrens’ “best interests” in mind for enforcement of visitation!
      The cards are stacked so heavily in favor of the custodial parent (for the most part mom) that they need not work nor show proof of how the money we pay is spent. I am in court, in person or telephonically, every 2 or 3 months…They harass me continuosly! When will we all be given the opportunity to stand in a court of law and be heard for what is moraly right instead of what is currently legally incorrect. This system is killing people, and unfortunately it is our children,whom we LOVE the most, whom are paying the price!
      Sincerely,
      Rob Freese

      Me and my husband are both having to pay child surrport my husband is the only one working at this time. In the court dockets they have us down as not being marrided and not living together so I dont under stand why they can make both us pay when were living off his income.. I really need some answer so please contact me at 919-398-0768 or Thumphries90@aol.com asap

    38. The Rev.

      Robert Tomesello & any of you who have/had equity. You may have overlooked something in your martial dissolution decree judgment. Did the Court sequester a fixed amount of the Marital Residence or accept a valuation in accordance with rule 61.075 and 61.077 associated with rule 61.30 Fla. Stat. under Florida Rules of Civ. Procedure. Was this non-marital property used to illegally grant an order of support thus, bifurcating the case without a valid civil assessment? You need to have the Guidelines Worksheet examined for fraud upon the court ( financial fraud in particular) which seems to be the pattern of behavior (motis operandi) exhibited by some of the Judges in the Family Courts who’s aim it is, to keep one in involuntary servitude just to punish an obligor parent. You really need to have your financials scrutinized by a forensic investigator / corporate accountant. contact me through Rjs69gto@aol.com. for further details involving these investigations within the Florida Courts System.

      In His Service,

      The Rev.

      Ocse is one of the worst state run offices

      Very true UnConstitutionally the Worst! Why people aren’t suing the State and County run OCSE for violations of Constitutional Rights is beyond me??? Gotta say though, the OCSE does a great job circulating every single penny collected from non-custodial parents through the Federal Reserve before distribution. And they do such a great job of harrasment, so they can grab as much TAX PAYER INCENTIVE MONEY from YOU as possible, in-order to meet County and State budgets… not to mention if they don’t perform the Fed will APPLY A PENALTY and cost them money! Every Tax Payer is paying for this program… Countless Billions are being made in profit off this corrupt system. Don’t believe me??? Look at President Bush’s “Deficit Reduction Act” of 2006. $25 annualy on every single child support case and it has nothing to do with Children what-so-ever. HHS said in 2008 that their were 15.7 million cases X $25 = ????

    42. Patrick Lee

      Child Support Enforcement is UN-CONSTITUTIONAL!!! I have been in arrears for about 15 years and may go to my grave owing this money!! However, now that millions more have been added to the unemployment lines, maybe, just maybe this law will be repealed!! REPEAL THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BRADELEY ADMENDMENT!!

      A Note Of Vital Importance
      by Fran Ford on Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 1:17pm

      October 9, 2008

      To ALL:

      I would like to take this time to thank all our friends and family who know of our circumstances for being as supportive as possible during a very difficult time.

      The next time you see a Most Wanted poster that lists men as deadbeat dads, there’s something I want you to know. While some of those men are listed because they choose to run, hide and shirk their responsibilities to provide for children they have fathered, others are there not out of choice, but out of desperation. It’s not their responsibilities to their children that they ran from, but from the laws that are completely in favor of the custodial parent to the point of many times leaving the non custodial parent with upwards to 65% of their wages garnished and in turn destined to many years of destitution. poverty, homelessness and despair.

      The courts claim that they are all for the unification of families. The courts lie. How can they justify leaving a non custodial parent so broke that they many times can’t even afford the gas to go pick up their children, never mind have a decent place to bring them to or even feed them if they do take their kids for overnight or weekend visits?

      Statistically 400,000 men a year commit suicide because of over inflated and out of control exorbitant court ordered child support payments which many times leaves many unable to provide for a second family they may have or facing jail, the loss of their jobs, the revocation of their driver’s license and even the right to vote or have a passport. And all because they were court ordered to pay exorbitant amounts of money they do not have because the wage assignment conditions do not take into account that the non custodial parent has another home and themselves to provide for. In our case, the court went by gross earnings and not net and did not take into account the living expenses that this particular non custodial parent needs to survive.

      How is someone supposed to live on $58 a week when the court grants the custodial parent 65% of the non custodian’s wages? That barely buys the gas needed to get back and forth to a job! How is this being allowed to happen? Why? So the children they are supposed to be feeding and clothing can have all the biggest and best electronic devices and a library of all the latest X Box 360 and Wii games to be played on a state of the art HD TV system? I KNOW this happens…I’ve heard it from some I’ve talked to who are in the same boat we are.

      The custodial parent is not held accountable by the court as to exactly how the money is spent. How much of the money actually goes to necessary care of the child such as food and clothing? Is the child eating mac and cheese and wearing hand me downs while the money is being spent on non necessities. And what child needs $800 a month to live on?! All this goes on while non custodial parents who are most times men go broke and end up disappearing, in jail or dead by their own hands? Perhaps if the amounts were lowered, the custodial parent would have no other choice but to spend what’s given to them on the child they are supposed to be spending it on and for the things they’re supposed to be spending it on.

      Reform is needed, NOW!

      Why am I writing this? Because we are living the nightmare. A good man who thought he was doing the right thing, due to being unable to afford a lawyer top speak on his behalf and help him through the process, misunderstood legal jargon, signed forms under duress (not even in front of a judge, but a law clerk, mind you), was taken advantage by the court system and now faces a life no one should ever have to live. Especially someone who always had full intention of owning up to the responsibility of providing for his child. His wages are being garnished to the tune of 65% of his take home pay (AFTER TAXES!) and shortly medical insurance monies will be added to that and taken out of what’s left of his check in order for the child to be put on his medical plan.

      So, the next time you see a Most Wanted Poster with one or more dead beat dads listed on it, please think twice and do not be so quick to judge, not all is what it seems.

      Pro Bono legal help is desperately needed (by us) and will be greatly appreciated.

      I just wrote a whole well thought out paragraph only to loose it when pressing the submit button. USELESS!!!…just like the reform I have been fighting for the last thirteen years.
      Bradley…(Man responsible for the Bradley Amendment) how is it that one man, an ex-basketball player had the power to commit such an injustice in hurting so many…including the children he wouldn’t give the time of day to in passing on the street. That is reality.

      Admin. James I found your comment, it is copied and pasted below:

      My ex was originally awarded $2400.00 a month based on lies and deception upon filing for divorce. The case was dragged on for years leaving me with thousands in arrears before the divorce was finalized. Nothing I had written (said) or did mattered. My attorney was a joke (a judge himself) and basically had less than no legal representation. My ex prides herself on getting-back…on being hateful and loving to punish without relent, and I have no recourse.

      ADDITIONAL COMMENT:

      Again…on New Year’s Eve Child Support Collection raided my bank account. I am paying $216.00 a month for arrears that should never existed in the first place. Now they tell me if I agree to pay an additional $100.00 a month they will stop the bank levy. I have no money for them to take, but wonderful B of A charges me $100.00 for a procession fee! If I do not pay the additional $100.00 a month to Child Support Collection they are going to raid my account on a monthly basis. What is wrong with this picture? I am now overdrawn with an additional $35.00 fee from the band, and unable to pay my rent…so I am facing possible eviction. Happy New Year! Our Government SUCKS! The scum sucking lawyers Suck! Maybe it just isn’t worth it anymore…if it ever was.

      My high Child Support payments are used by her mother to pay for everything other than my daughter’s needs. The whole child support system is full of discrimination, anger, and rudeness, the constitution and civil rights are totally ignored.

      I am paying child support but my ex found the way to lie by inflating costs and hiding income, I ran out of job back in 1999 and I own $35k for RETROACTIVE Child Support.

      After the court order was issued, the court agreed to accept certain amount per month towards to the retroactive amount and ignoring the court’s decision, the Child Support placed a lien on my credit and took my passport away.

      For about 10 years, I have been suffering in silence but two years ago I stopped believe on God. I am not religious anymore and the suicide still an option to stop suffering but I haven’t decided to take my life away yet. Instead, one year ago I sent an email to my daughter stating that I will be done with her in 6 more years when she turns 18 and after that, she goes not longer to exists for me.

      4 years ago, I decided to stop paying all credit cards and all debt that I had including the house and cars, successfully ran away from repo trucks for a year until I decided to turn the cars back to the banks totally destroyed. A Dodge RAM, BMW X5 and a Ford F250. What the heck, my credit file is trash anyways after the child support placed a lien on it so it doesn’t worth to making efforts with paying bills.

      I was wondering how many fathers are out here on a similar situation praying for their children no to go to the College because then the child support will continue until 21

      So far, what are the results of all this, you can lie all you want to yourself but those are the facts:
      1- Degradation of the moral values and decadency of the society by removing the father from the picture and growing a new layer of women who will be fucking all around regardless of the consequences because more kids is translated into more money.
      Question: Is that the kind of society that we want in the US?
      2- Raising a kid with the idea that the father is bad, stupid and all bad things caused that many kids lost their fathers forever even if the father still alive
      3- Destroying the father;s ability to buy a house that can be passed to his kids in the future seams that the interest is destroying and punishing the father and don’t fool yourself, that is not the the benefit of the child.

      This system needs to be changed, not for me, in 6 years I am done with it and my daughter will be looking for a job. Then I will be enjoying the life. This shit will affects me for 6 more years but my daughter will be suffering the consequences for the rest of her life.

      Things that need to be changed are basically CUSTODY, sole custody should be translated into no child support and on this way both parents are going to be participating more actively on the child’s life.

      Child support amount must not be set based on the parent’s income, that will force the mother to move her ass and get a job but will make the woman to be more responsible at the time of conception

      One contradiction it that their constitution stated that a person shall not be imprisonment for owing money? Considering the fact that the child support is exclusively about money [You pay or dont pay]. The act of issuing a warrant for arrest against a child support debtor is against their own constitution.

      This is what is left from the United States of America and it keeps going down

      I personally don’t believe on anything at this moment, not even on any God and dreaming with reforms to the child support is a wasting of time. The tragedy from Oklahoma was product of the frustration of a guy who didn’t success with having a fair decision and he decided to bow up the whole thing so you can count with my signature but I don’t believe that there will be any kind of reform.

      Thank you, George

      I am shocked by the complete unfairness there is in Child Support. A female can Rape, Abort,commit fraud, and or drop off at a fire station her child. If after any of those personal choices SHE chooses to have a child SHE can financially devastate the man. This is unfair, immoral, and outrageous.

      This will only change for what is right when society makes females responsible for THEIR choices. What happen to equal rights. The current system is criminal to say the least. Something needs to be done.

      WE NEED SOMETHING DONE. WE NEED TO ALL PITCH IN FINANCIALLY AND FILE A FEDERAL LAWSUIT. A FEMALE CAN RAPE, COMMIT FRAUD, AND A MAN HAS TO PAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?. WHAT HAPPEN TO EQUAL RIGHTS?. THIS SYSTEM IS PUNISHING INNOCENT PEOPLE, GOOD PEOPLE. A FEMALE HAS ALL THE CHOSE AND THE MAN PAYS.

      IT SHOULD BE REAL SIMPLE, IF A FEMALE HAS A CHILD AND A MAN DOES NOT CONSENT TO ANY ASPECT OF IT THE FEMALE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR HER CHOSE. REMEMBER US MEN HAVE NO CHOICE. FEMALES CAN LIE, COMMIT FRAUD, AND EVEN RAPE A MAN AND A MAN WILL BE FORCED TO PAY.

      THESE LAWS ARE UNFAIR, OUTRAGEOUS, AND PATHETIC.

      The DCSE and the court systems here in VA is a complete joke!! I went to court yesterday and was completely railroaded being that i cant afford a attorney, my ex had her attorney there and made me look like a complete deadbeat, the judge was not willing or interested in hearing anything I had to say. so now I am forced to pay $5400. in two weeks or face 60 day’s in jail !! where is the justice !! I have lost my business, my bank account has been frozen by the county, the bank has come and taken my assets, I have done everything I know how to do, payed ten’s of thousands in support and still it’s not enough. the economy is fallen through the floor and there is no job’s to be found, but the court does not and will not hear anything you have to say about that !. but my ex gets to be free and do as she please with no cares how it this affects our children. There has to be reform in the court systems !. my fiance wants to get married but now is fear full that she will have to pay for my kid’s. why should my to be wife be responsible for my children?? dot get me wrong she love’s them and would do anything for them, but it’s just not right !!! change has to happen NOW !

    56. mark goggins

      Child support needs to be reformed and we need to ensure that the money is being spent on the child(ren). And there needs to be alternatives to jail time.

    57. Dorothy Whitehed

      I am glad someone is doing somthing. The state should never have become involved in these domestic issues. I don’t think we need a reform I think we need to abolish the program all together. My belief is that whoever decides to leave a marraige should leave by them selves, unless they can prove spousal or child abuse. That may be extreme but divorce rate would go way down. If that is too extreme then - If a woman leaves the marriage and takes the children she should be prepared to care for them!
      I compare it to someone coming to your home kidnapping your children and then charging you for the rest of your life to care for those children.

      If the courts want the children to have the lifestyle that the father can provide, then they should be living with the father! I can’t believe that fathers have not combined in complete revolt against a system that so strongly favors the women and reduces them to nothing. The woman holds all the keys! That balance of power is not good for anyone, but the woman and maybe her new situations.,

      If Childsupport must continue then the father needs more control in how it is spent. It should be fraud to spend it on anything but the children!!!!! And it should not bankrupt the father. We shouldn’t punish the fathers for divorce! In many cases the divorce isn’t even their fault, yet they carry the blame.

      I get no help from the friend of the court. They do not send arrears to the states that should be getting the back support as my ex has moved from state to state setting up welfare. I have garnishments from 4 separate states including Michigan. I am currently raising 6 children in my second marriage and pay support on 2. We have been forced to move to bad neighborhoods and I work 60 Hours a week and still have 40,000 plus in arrears.

      I am still paying child support after more than 38 years. Child support has harrassed my through out my life and taken money from my bank accounts through out the years. Now I am homeless at 62. They are even taking money from my only scorce of income…my SSI. My oldest child is 43 and my youngest is 32. I don’t have any children at this point in my life but I do have grandchildren! None of my children get the money they take from me and their mother is dead for 2 years now. Who gets the money? And when will it stop (child support) robbing me…the way it looks, I’ll continue to be “Robbed” all the way to my 70, 80’s and 90’s. By that time I’ll be a great, great grand father with no end in sight for me being forced to pay for children who I have already paid for over and over and over again. They (child support) even tell me that they don’t have any record of me paying all of the money they have stolen from me and my family.

    65. Deborah A. Khora

      Women are victims of fraud too. What all of us have done is got divorce, and we now see irreparable damage, like Humpty Dumpty that can’t be put back together again. I don’t care that my ex hated me, I wouldn’t go back to that marriage but divorce is no better. I am the support ordered non-custodial parent, marriage was slavery to him, and forced employment is slavery too. In my political science class we had to draft a bill for legislation and we thought about making marriage unconstitutional.

      My case is currently in the appellate court (two years long) challenged on the basis of involuntary servitude and a violation of my constitutional rights, especially since my ex waived his right to child support in exchange for the kids but lost custody to his sister do to drugs. I am just wondering if the author of this website has a legal case pending and where the case stands.

      After having put my wife through college to her master’s degree and she started her career, she decided she wasn’t happy anymore and disappeared with my kid’s one day. She never said a thing before I was served the divorce papers. I had no idea where my kids were. The court has forced me to pay the maximum child support, 40% of my take home pay, even though I was not at fault for the breakup of the marriage and didn’t even want the divorce. That my ex-wife does everything she can to keep me out of my kid’s lives and the courts won’t do anything. I also pay all the health insurance and she does not help with the medical bills although ordered to in the court orders. After 3 years she is still trying to take everything that’s left, and the legal fees are driving me into the ground. When does it end? She makes more than I did after working for 15 years for the same employer, yet her salary does not factor into the child support calculation!!?? What’s up with that? I have no more retirement and all of the investments I had, that I had hoped could be used for my kid’s in college were all spent on attorney’s, for both sides. The system really needs reform badly. When women can hop from bed to bed and then decide they don’t need the father of their children anymore, on a whim, and then take everything he has, though the husband was faithful to the marriage and did evberything for the wife, something is really broke here.

      I was set up by my x and the Maryland,(Hagerstown) Judge fell for it! At the end he said to me. I am not blaming you. My x cut off all communication with me except her work email, then she bought that up at court. My x knew my financial situation, and made three times as much as I did. For year said nothing. After as many years of pushing for more time with the kids she filed for Full Legal and Full Physical custody. I lost because she set me up!
      Now I will lose my Contractors License, not be able to get a passport. be reported to a credit agency, etc. Basically snow balls. I am portrayed as a criminal. A criminal gets a State assigned Lawyer. I do not. This is not an American Dream. It is an American Nightmare with Corrupt Judges ( whom lied about what my daughter said in their closed meeting) Corrupt Lawyers, and evil people. It is all about the money to them not the Children. The monies should be for counseling and mediation and parenting classes to allow the children to be with the parents 50/50.
      The system is one sided. After all it keeps Federal and State jobs around, from the Judges, Child Support Agencies, the prison guards, and just everyone involved in Destroying the lives of Honest non custodial parents.

      Thank you and keep up the good work. I am disabled due to a motocycle accident. I know I am not the father of this child as she was 2 months pregnant when I met her in 1994. I had a good job as a Private Investigator and when I got the papers from the court
      saying she was claiming I was the father I was shocked.
      I was in another state working at the time of the trial but had sent the court a letter asking the case be continued untill me return. I got back to find that letter had been “Lost”
      and I was now the father and she wanted money. My accident gappened in 1997 and I will never be able to work again. I have not spoke to the mother sinve 1995. She does not work and was just arreted on a drug charge. I have been told the state is taking care of her. I do have another daughter from my ex-wife and I was never once late on a payment. This child is mine. Now I am told on the other child, there is nothing that can be done. My friends wanted to take me to Niagra Falls this past summer and they were going to pay for my Passport. It looks as if I am a Prisoner in my own country now for the rest of my life.
      Things need to change. I am just waiting to be taken to jail as I hear that can happen also. I can’t help but wonder if this is what I served in the Navy for and went to war in 1991?

    79. Jim Hobbs

      Child suport is another form of wealth transfer created by liberals. Additionally it encourages the destruction of the family which has huge moral and financial consequences on us as a nation.

      The current system has nothing to do with whether or not the child’s needs are being met. Instead it is a money making machine for burearacracy, custodial parents, and family lawyers.

      A fair system would consider circumstances other than how much money the non custodial parent makes. In my view there should be two sides to the equation. i.e how much does the custodial parent make? How much does his/her live in or new spouse make? How much more do they actully have the child? Doesn’t the child’s needs have to be met at both households? Obviously this is about something other than fairness for the parents and best interest of the child.

      My hope is that if the recession deepens it will increase the movement for reform. Problem is that any reform legislation that negatively effects the income of attorneys is very difficult to pass.

    80. M Nutter

      My husband has been extradited to Indiana for being behind in child support. He was unemployed for a couple years and finally found a stable job last year and started paying child support. But the State of Indiana still took him in for what he owes. Doesn’t make sense. He’s paying now. How can he pay what he owes if he’s locked up? If he loses his job for being incarcerated, how is he going to pay? What good is the system doing? Nothing!

    81. Tim Neisen

      The chid support system only encourges the parent with the child to be criminal in extorting money from the paying parent by abusing a criminal system. It also provokes women to be criminal in trapping men by getting pregnant on purpose for the soul reason for a free fatherless child and a free meal ticket!!! I call these serial father’s life killers. Death to the criminal Child Support System!!!!

      Children Held Hostage in America. This Country is in perilous times and our children are in big trouble with the Friend of the Court Systems. With a divorce rate of 50% even the best of parents ending up in the court system with the best of attentions for what’s the best interest of the children quickly finding out it’s not about the children at all but about home much monies your children can bring into the system. Instantly fathers are “deadbeat dads” and poor old mom needs more monies. My heart bleeds for men and women caught up in this evil system that a multi-billion dollar industry which thrives off of extorting money from people by holding their children hostage. I wouldn’t have believed it unless I lived through it. My ex-wife and her Lawyer committed major fraud against me along with the Friend of the Court workers. After the investigation was conducted by the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission they found my ex-wife’s lawyer guilty on six counts of fraud and lawyer misconduct. Because of the fraud I was incarcerated twice, once without even having a court hearing, just handcuffed in court and drug into jail until your released. This is about as wrong as wrong gets and the children suffer tremendous trauma over it. The FOC has me in court every month for higher support, it took me two years to get my support lowered to where is suppose to be but they still imputed my wages four times hirer then my earnings for the last three years. Just when I thought it was over the nightmare started all over again, back to court. I filed motion on top of motion (court stamped with hearing date) only to have the FOC toss them in the trash and then the Judge would be confused and tell them the next time I came to court he needs my motions. This happened to many times, I proved time and time again the fraud within the FOC and even proved employees perjury in court and reported that. The investigation is well the employee only misspoke herself. Perjury is perjury unless you work for the FOC and when you get caught then it’s called; I misspoke myself. What’s happening to Gods children is a terrible evil under the sun with the FOC. I was never in any arrearages get hauled back in front of the Judge and to my surprise he takes away what I paid in support (proved / court order) and says; that was a nice gift you gave poor old mom and I’m going retroactive back to the date of your incarceration and you have to pay her again or go to jail for felony support. I had one week before the hearing to come up with $11,000 for my ex-wife, more extortion monies. The fraud never ends until the Defendant (dad or mom) is financial broke. I’m here to say; never give up on your children, it’s not their fault and never give up on Justice. Keep fighting the good fight! Praise God for strength and ask for Justice to prevail for His children. There is a serious problem with the FOC and it’s an evil system that does NOT have what’s best interest for the children’s welfare. Take a loving father or mother away from the children in the name of greed in criminal and a violation of every Americans Constitutional Rights. I’ve proved their fraud and was highly warned not to take it out of the County or else! You see my daughters on my webpage: http://www.kylecoon.com

I ended up losing my job because of this so they made me move into the Salvation Army, get a job there, they would leave me with only $50 of my check. That left my wife and children at home with nothing. They even told me to sell my house the county wanted their money. I never even got to see my kids because of my vindictive ex, but that was never enforced even though I had court ordered visitation rights. They would tell me their was nothing they could do about that. My rights are beeing violated and I’m sick of it! Where’s my protection for my family and me? Judge Carol Clark is the worst.

      This comment was sent to me by a dear friend, who along with her husband have found themselves in this nightmare. It appears I didn’t allow this comment, or overlooked it the first time it was submitted; I am dearly sorry. To amend my mistake, I have presented her plea for help and for world ‘awareness’ below:

      “Tyranny is alive and well and thriving in America! It’s being allowed to root and bloom in our legislature and inaction is the Miracle Gro of this malignancy.

      Please read the articles, comments and go to the links on these pages. Become informed and educated on what’s going on and just how your tax dollars are being used to front atrocities happening all around you in this The Land Of The Free and The Home Of The Brave. And PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!

      If we continue to ignore and turn our backs on these and other important issues, we do so with devastating results that impact and then decimate the family unit; the very core of our country’s foundation.

      Acts of Civil Terrorism are right now being perpetrated against Americans, by Americans and on American soil! It’s even happening to our US Service men and women! It could happen to your son or your daughter. It can happen to YOU!

      Again, I urge you to PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!”

      I support these reforms. I dated a girl with 3 kids by another man for 6 months, and we broke up. 9 months later she has a baby and decides to call me, what a surprise! She doesn’t yet go for child support, instead marrying another man. They have 2 more kids now and are working on a third. Now she comes after me for child support and I am just in college. I suggested her husband adopt to create a singular family unit. She loved that! Says both her baby daddies are gonna come kick my ass. I only make 400 a month on work study and am trying to get into law school. I agree that women should bear part of the burden of responsibility for ’strapping’ up, and without a contract, there should be no child support. This is due in part because a man’s responsibilities are currently dependent on something a woman has choice over. This is fundamentally unfair.

    97. Reynold Johnson

      Long over due petition. The child support system has ruined many lives and continue to do so to this very day. You have sheepish judges who use their power and authority to abuse the lives and welfare of hard working American citizens in this bias system. I hope that we are able to reform this system, so that it is fair and equatible.

    98. Adam Adorni

      I have very little time to spend here so let me be short and to the point. I am a slave to the state of California and to the county of Humboldt. My daughter has been taken for ransom by the family courts for 8 years she is now 8 years old. They have caused my beautiful daughter and i such agonizing pain, financially,physically and mentally there’s no words to describe. It has to change. It seems to me as if The bill of rights, The Declaration of independence have just been thrown away. I am a slave and nothing less. This is Rage. I don’t know from one day to the next what i want to do about it but i cant get out or away from it i work for them. I am not free! I can not have the pursuit of happiness. My daughter has been taken hostage by the family courts and i have been turned into a slave. My love for my daughter is unconditional, i could never walk away and say i quit on her. Please help somebody! this is not fair to the little children of this world. God bless America and all the broken families. Amen

      Oh my gosh! Maybe you can help me get in touch with my state’s legislature.

    103. Bruce Eggum

      The child support system does not consider folks self employed, farming. small business. Child support only see’s gross income as wages. Expenses to run a business must be deducted to equal net income.The whole system is flawed.

    104. Shane Shipley

      I’m a father in Georgia…I’ve tried for years now to see my boy and the courts here in GEORGIA have done nothing but give me the run around! The first time I walked into court for my son the judge told me “she (the mother) can let you see him or she does NOT have to let you see him! You have no rights in the state of GEORGIA!!” Me and my family have suffered heartbreak for a LONG time trying to get visitations with my son and have spent thousands of dollars on attorneys and court fees! Please sign this petition and try to change this God awful dream that is in fact a REALITY! I love my son very much and I want my time with him too…I live in RINGGOLD, GA by the way, a very CORRUPT city! All they want is your money here and don’t care if you see your child or not!

    111. Jamie Fulcher

      It’s amazing how many POS mothers sit back and make a living off the system. Getting child support, food stamps, WIC, free childcare, etc, all at the father and governments expense. Some one needs to step up and make these custodial parents work and contribute to the financial responsibility of the child and stop letting the government carry all their weight.

    112. stan darnell

      i am signing the petition for child support reform

    113. Lexie Romeo

      Jamie, just to make you aware, the government isn’t paying the bill for custodial parents accepting assistance. The non-custodial parents are saddled with that bill. In fact, they are even made responsible for medicaid bills related to the birth of their children. The government makes NCPs carry the full burden, and when they can’t bear it, they abuse them and deny them basic rights including freedom.

      Wake up, America, before it’s too late.

      ADMIN RESPONSE: Very true. The FED gives the CSEO a Block Grant to enforce collections… ‘a loan to the American Public with Interest!’ Then the Financial Management Service collects and circulates every single penny through the Federal Reserve to make even more Interest before returning to the Local CSEO Bank for distribution! Is this another Bubble (aka lie)?

    114. Elayne Dent

      The whole Family Court System needs to be changed. Child Support should not put the non-custodial parent on the streets & bankrupt and can’t claim the expense, yet the custodial parent claims the kids & not the income.

    115. CALE CARDER

      MORE THAN 2500. AND ON PROBATION FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH I PAID MY EX WIFE SAYS I DIDNT SO THE JUDGE SAID IT WAS A GIFT. I PAY 1300.00 FOR 2 KIDS AND 550 FOR ANOTHER ONE THAT MAKES MORE MONEY THAN I DO IN THE SUMMER. HE IS 19 YRS OLD
      AND THE EX WILL NOT EVEN LET ME HAVE MY VISITATION, AFTER I PAY ALL THAT, ONE OF MY EX GOT A BOOB JOB THE OTHER ONE GOT MARRIED IN PARIS WHEN I PAID THEM EACH 7000 EACH TO KEEP ME FROM GOING TO JAIL, NOW I PAY ON THAT LOAN TO, I LIVE IN A DUPLEX HAVE A 1999 CAR, AND WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK. WHY DOES IT COST 1300 A MONTH TO FEED MY CHILDREN, WHEN I LIVE ON 1500 A MONTH.GOVERMENT SAYS I AM CAPABLE OF MAKING MORE THAN I DO, MAYBE 10 YRS AGO. BUT NOT NOW.
      Why cant the goverment just figure out how much it cost for one child and than make our support from that, the more money you make the more they take so why make more money,

      I have been getting my pockets rung out for the last 11 years, and I don’t get to see my son. I have been jailed in the past, and my name dragged through the mud. I always wanted to be in my sons life, but his mother made it impossible. He is 12 now and I hope one day he and I will be united again. The system is more than flawed, I would call it down right illegal what they do to people, and would like to see the child support system answer for all the lives they have ruined.

    121. Todd A. Bouwman

      Im backing this for sure!

    122. James Conser

      It is clear that the Friend of the Court is no friend of the family…

      Time for reform indeed.

    123. Columbus B.

      I’m in the state of GA…for one I fully believe in taking care of the kids, but their notification process of letting the non-custodial parent know of a court action is flawed. They don’t require a signature on the court document or at least go to someone’s job and serve them the papers if you have to. Then if you’re paying child support in another state, which by law they have to recognize and calculate into the younger child’s support calculation, they fail to do so and require you to jump through rings of fire to get it squared away after you’ve proved they dropped the ball. So please let get this done so a reform in the system is handled and let some type of penalty occur when mothers play on the system to just receive another check.

    124. Dennis Murray

      Last spring I was paying arrears and lost my job because my passport got denied. A passport was necessary for the execution of my job duties because I was a field engineer and international travel was routine. Now, no passport = no job = no arrears payments. I am now homeless as a result. And they want to throw me in jail. My children are 26 and 28 and have careers of their own. Good thing because dad cannot help them. The federal government just destroyed my career.

      It was not too long ago in the Soviet Union when the intelligentsia tried to emigrate due to the oppressive government policies. The USA is in the same state of affairs. The US government’s policies are sending all the high-paying jobs overseas. The people who need such jobs the most are not allowed to pursue them. Debtor’s prison is alive and well in the USA.

    125. Richard Moore

      I was unemployed for nearly two years in Oregon….finally secured a job. The new job requires that I travel out of the country. I’ll follow up in a minute.

      In the mean time: Over the last two years I have racked up a large amount of debt paying for my home, my “other child” and life. For the 14 months it took me to get a modification, the child support division took 46% of the unemployment. This left me with less than nothing after paying for housing and food. Thus the debt incurred. During the process of getting a modification, the judge was a complete “A”hole. He referred to me in derogatory terms and was completely one sided. The mother of the child implied I was cheating on my earnings and he actually went down that road with her. I have a rental that looses money and he even dictated that I pay her based on the gross income of that rental, not the net…? Wow I go screwed. After the modification and 14 months of work, they reduced the amount by only 25% yet my income was cut by 73%.

      So anyway, currently I have a job, the job requires that I travel out of the country; for which I need a passport. So, I applied for a passport and was denied by the Dept. of State. The letter said in short…No passport until Child support arrears are paid. My employer would say get lost, not even mentioning the fact that I fudged my history even to get a job. I called the Child Support Division for Oregon; I was told that Oregon had a zero tolerance law and I would get no passport until I paid (tough luck chuck).

      I do not have the funds to pay this debt, (I’ve been unemployed for two years). Yet, I will loose my job and will not be able to pay child support.

      This system is absurd, unfair and without any shred of intelligence. It is just about money. No rhyme, no reason but money…It is appalling.

      Help! I pay so much money for the child that goes through the system, that the one that doesn’t suffers… How is this right. I am liquidating the savings account for my non-system child to pay for the system child’s back support. I am an old Dad with few assets…How am I supposed to pay for an kind of retirement when all spare funds go to supporting children. If I were married, I would not spend that kind of money on my children out of the household budget…ridiculous. Not to mention that I would have discretion in how money is spent on my children.

      Please help change the system.

I’m tired of signing petititions with no traction. Let’s form up and march on our state capitals, march on our legislation. Maybe, if someone can pick a date and we march, thousands of us dads (non custodial parents), then maybe we’ll be heard. Maybe even set up something central to submit funding and get some legal representation for us fathers as a whole to change the corrupt laws? Who knows… But these parced out websites aren’t doing anything. We need a united front… Any ideas on a united front?

      I’ve just begun to get just a taste of what I am in store for. I, being a “joint custody” mother have been put through the worst abuse I could ever imagine. But, as long as I pay, and pay, and pay the courts are happy; yet he and his new wife keep my children from me. It’s a mess. Had I known, I would have never gotten married. i could go on and on but I would not be stating anything new.

    139. Chan Melton

      I agree that men have been treated unfairly when it comes to support laws and judges deal more with there fealing than whats right for the whole situation.You cant drain a orange if it has no more juice,especially the way our economy is failing to respond to unemployment.

    140. Walt E Grulkowski Jr

      I am a serial payer (3 separate cases) last child born in 1999.
      At the time my last child was born I was at 22,000 a year. I went through the years with modifications, every time they assumed i would get the same overtime , which i did not and fell into arrears at the tune of 22,000, back then i took home 120.00 a week and could not afford a attorney. I have constantly tried to better myself because of mistakes i have made in the past. In 7/2008 I advance to a even better job and have a current salary of 700.00 a week and 12.5% for incentive bonus(project manager,faster I get the job done, and more I save the company, better the bonus.) In 2009 I made 118,000 total. Again there was A modification, lucked out and just one obligation went for modification and was adjusted to set amount of 700 Plus 17% of what bonuses I receive. The problem I am having now is when the other two obligations also get adjusted, the paper the child support sent me is as if I always will make the 118,00 in which I can only guarantee my salary, bonus depend on the job. Even if I would make the 118,000, they want to set 56,124 for child support (all 3 obligations) a yr, I payed 38,515 for taxes on the 118,00, so that leaves me a take home pay of 23,313??? REALLY? I am really at the point of throwing my hands up ! Yes I support this reform!

      ADDITIONAL COMMENT:

      We need to correct this problem. Child support amounts should not be ordered until a DNA test has been performed. I have two children that I would like tested, but it is out of the question to go to court about the issue because can not afford a attorney. Is it not the child’s right to know who their real father is, not to mention in the best interest of the child for heredity health issues.

      ADDITIONAL COMMENT:

      The vast majority of state child support guidelines do not include provisions that specifically address the full complexity of multiple partner fertility.

      For example, if a noncustodial parent is responsible for two children with the same partner, he/she would have an order of 25 percent, but if the children were with different partners, he/she would owe 17 plus 14, or 31 percent.
      Similarly, from a custodial parent’s perspective, a second child with the same nonresident parent raises his/her order from 17 percent to 25 percent of income, an increase of eight percentage points. In contrast, if the custodial parent has a second child with a different nonresident parent, the two orders will total 17 percent of the first nonresident parent’s income, and 17 percent of the next nonresident parent’s income

      There is nothing right about this if you start a second family and separate you have to pay more.
      But at the same time a Mother can have a child from separate partners and receive 17% from each (34%) but if she would of had two children from the same man she would of only received 25%.

      Just another thing that is against the NCP’s

    141. John Sampson

      I share physical custody 50/50. My ex makes $210K. I make $24K, and it’s $12K after taxes and child support. Support in my state is based only on the person that has the non-custodial parent label, which I am designated. The children live in luxury one week and poverty the next. The system set up to keep the children out of poverty has put them there instead, and it has been that way for 14 years since I divorced. Yes, I am for reform.

      Every single divorced father in the corrupt State of Georgia are at the mercy of a Marxist Legion called “The Child Support Enforcement Agency. Every single right afforded to me by the Constitution Of The United States, has been violated. Please, cast votes for people who are willing to help us. Everything I have has been taken, my kids still live in Poverty. My credit is shot, so I have to work for minimum wage. My ex-wife is a liar, evil tyrant. Her current Husband, whom was formerly a deputy sheriff, sexually molested my daughter from my first marriage, and because I went to the law, she opened a case against me with forged divorce papers to punish me and my daughter. The State of Georgia, who declined to press charges on behalf of my daughter, but was more than willing to help her destroy me financially. I have 3 other children from my first marriage that I have custody of to support but yet they want almost every penny I make. I don’t mind paying my share but I will go to jail before I make my other kids homeless or see them go without food. My ex has never had a job in her life that’s lasted for longer than a month. She has never contributed not one dime to help support any of her children. Please dear God, let this reach someone that may help us. I am not a rich man and have never been and I don’t care to be one. I just want my kids to have what they need. I got a letter today saying they want my title to my 12 year old car. The only transportation I have. Last week without notice they took my Tax Refund of $2020..which I had planned on giving them half anyway and paying Utilities Bills and buying food with the other. When will the madness end? Dear God…when will this madness end?

      I fully agree with all of the above. CSE is a corrupt organization that gains bonuses and income based on a percentage of the payment. This is a complete conflict of interest as it is an incentive for CSE to keep raising the monthly child support payment rather than playing an unbias role. The higher the child support payment, the more CSE makes in fees.

      I pay my arrears child support, and i was never allowed to see my 2 kids or raise them…
      But the courts do not see it as the womon was wrong.. but that all men must be treated less differently than women…. By the way this is a violation of the America’s family law system of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights….

      The double standard granting full reproductive rights to woman and none to men is a violation of Article 2 of the declaration which states that a rights violation has occurred when men and women are treated differently…

      Married someone in 1984. Left 2 weeks after marriage. no idea where she was.Returned 2 weeks before child was born. left 2 weeks after child was born. Never saw her again.
      Mother pops up now suing me for arrears on a 27 year old. Was never given any money or medical ins. because she disappeared. Yep you guessed it. The court is telling me to pay!
      Am fighting. But assume will be a losing battle. the court knows this is 100% wrong but no judge wants their name on any hot potato issue where they will be cited for a ruling.
      I am poor, disabled and will soon be homeless because of this. they are about o take my disability check. Take away my license and i will not be able to get to any doctor for treatment as i am in a rural area. Cant live in my 15 year old car because will not be legal to drive it. Abandons me after child’s birth. keeps me from him all these years disappears and comes back 27 years later for a pay off and the court says great. I can not handle this. Wish i was dead and will probably do so because i have no way to live.

I pay support plus medical plus half of daycare, clothes, sports and etc meanwhile i can barely make it and filed bankruptcy this year just to save my home.

      Take the $ out of child support and so many people would not be fighting over their kids. Instead, maybe the children could be raised by both parents in peace. Also, child support is the only debt punishable by prison, yet our government can make all of the debt it wants and nobody ever goes to prison for that!

    181. Charlotte Baber

      As a veteran/soldier, I contacted every single member of the Maryland General Assembly plus two members of Congress regarding my pending incarceration due to lack of child support and how I was willing to make a sociopolitical statement of immoaltion with the AP notified regarding the matter. NOBODY wants another dead soldier but I let them know that I had evolving ideations (they cannot lock you up as long as you don’t claim to want to hurt yourself OR anybody else) and that I had rewritten my Will and given everything away except for one slightly used toothbrush. I also stated that while being homeless and preparing for medical school that I’d never earned $30k annually let alone being able to pay $12,234/annually to an abusive ex-husband with a household income of $200k.

      The end result is that I am pretty sure that some elected official put a hold on my case because I called the Circuit Court and the clerk said “Oh!!!,….Your case has been closed.” Meanwhile I filed Contempt of Court charges with the option of jail time on him with a visitation log spanning three years.

      I am pretty sure that this strategy is going to work in that it is incredibly bad press to have a soldier/veteran make such outlandish sociopolitical statements when there is such an exceedingly high suicide rate.

    182. Dan Fabbri

      Paying child support and alimony now. I believe that parents should pay for their children’s needs. But I think the existing system needs to be changed so that the money goes to pay for the children only. Custodial parents receiving the support should be held accountable for their spending of support money, and expected to report and document how the money is spent. If a parent receives support money from a non-custodial parent then the custodial parent reviving the child support should be required to contribute matching funds towards the child and document those expenditures as well. As it stands child support is a mandate enforced on people by the government yet it is not tax deductible by the person forced to pay. This also should be changed.

    183. Clint Pyburn

      paid child support directly to my wife instead of going thru the CSDiv at County. Court ruled my child suport as a gift. She wanted me to send it to her every month so she wouldn’t have to wait. My children were with me every other weekend and most summers. My oldest daughter lived with me, I gave her my half of the profit on the sale of our home, my car, and income tax refunds that she got for claiming our children who lived with me as much if not more. She wants double indemity and I have been arrested and treated like a dog. When i tried to explain and my children tried to explain that I wasn’t a dead beat dad and that their mother did receive child support and they lived mostly with me……….the court in Williamson County, Texas would not listen. My x-wife wants me to die in jail as I am terminal and most likely will not live another year. I even furnished the court with documentation and records showing I had paid all child support to my X-wife…………they (Attny Gen) said the amount would be considered as a GIfT and she could either drop or refile for child support again. She choose to refile….this is a very bad situation…..My children are so upset with their Mother for being Greedy and using the Court to get double indemity.

    184. Kristopher Mickens

      I’m ordered to pay child support for my son who has been living with me for 5 years all of his life Monday through Thursday. His mother makes much more than I do and I’m still ordered to pay child support.

      My daughter’s mother refuses to let me see my daughter and still receives child support… What the hell……”you want my money but don’t want the father to be present in her life” ridiculous and the courts approves of this… ludacris

    185. Peter Greenwell

      I was treated unfairly when my support was ordered. Then denied a case review when I lost my job. I am paying extra for false expenses as well and when I reported this, nothing was done about it. I had no job and no income, not even unemployment compensation… and the lady at the court told me I’d better pawn something or I will lose my license and then be thrown in jail. How on earth will either of those benefit my child? If I am willing to have my child 50% of the time and pay 50% of all extra expenses, then I shouldn’t have to pay support payments at all. It hurt the most when she pulled up in a brand new car, smoking marijuana and said “Thank you”. I said “for what” and she said “Buying me a new car”. I reported her for smoking drugs and they didn’t do a thing about it. I live in FL… I live in hell.

    192. Eric Anderson

      The child support system is terrible. I can se if it was used fairly and th right way for those parents that dserve to be on it but the vast majority of people in the system should not be. I am on of those people. I’m 27 and have twin girls (age 2 this Septmber). Me and the mother were together off and onfrom 2007-2009. She was already in the system (food stamps, child support by another for one of her other kids, cash assistance, etc..) while we were together. My love and care for her then made me want better for her so she can gt off the government assistance, finish school, and find work (which i was hlping her with ALL the way). I fell in love with her already two kids in the process and loved them as my own also helping her with them. I already knew what would happen if we had a child of our own but the plan was to marry this woman and have a life togther as a family. Well things didnt end up working out between us and I finally had enough of the drama (this was after my own daughters were born). Me not being a typical dead-beat dad was and am still involved in my kids lives because I simply love them and want to be the best father i can be to my daughters. Child support got hold of me and i we went to court and they determined from my income that support will be $890.56 a month for my two daughters (rediculous seeing that it dosnt cost no where near that much a month to care for two kids). Mind you I was driving trucks locally at that time (this was all in Michigan) and th company paid us as independant contractors (no taxes taken out). My checks literally varied weekly from $200.00 to $800.00. Soon after, freight went down due the economy and my checks were no more thaN $300.00 a week. Still the support amount stayed regardless of this change. I ended up losing my job and was still getting charged the amount per month EVEN after me notifying the court of this in person at a hearring AND tyring to modify the support order. From 12/2010-7/2011 i was looking for work while in technical school {for better opportunity for my girls} (paid by financial aid and scholarship). Still getting charged of course and the judge said to pay $200.00 a week eventhough I’m unemployed (seriously??). Throughout the time of unemployment, my mom has been helping me with my girls when I had them (every weekend) which was kiling me. I decided to move to Georgia to find work and for a better life for my girls (Detroit MI not looking good). Got to Norcross, GA in mid June 2011. Found work 7/11/11 and this pay is $639 a week before taxes and of course the support takes out their $209.00 out of each one leaving me with $320-$340. I cannot get things going off of that (getting a place so that I can hav my girls down here with me where things are looking better than in MI for school and greater opportunities). Mind you that the mother has had 4 calls to protctiv services on her since my girls were born, moved 5 times because she splurges her money on everything but the right priorities, has different men around all the kids constantly, will start school and then quit after she gets financial aid check, and so much more and I’m the one getting hit bad in the system while they side with her 100%??!! It’s the fathers that are trying out here that are jacked up in the system and the dead-beats that NEED to be paying support are getting away with not. The system eaither needs to change EVERYTHING about how they dtermine who’s on it or just ELIEVIATE it completely bcause it’s doing way more damage than good and the true victims are the CHILDREN! I am now going to attempt to modify the support order so that I can have more $ from each chck so that I can gt my babies down here in GA and give thm the good life that they dserve. God bless all the fathers that are going thru bad situations with this child support (i call it “State Support”)……we can fight this! I’m in 1,000%!! :-)

I make 40 thousand a year and cant live because of the court. There wasnt even a major dispute between me and my ex-wife. She only asked for 400 a month and they gave her half. I have no clue what to do. My life is ruined. Its the states fault. Its this countries fault. I made the mistake of serving in the Marines. This is what I get. Ashame. I know I am not the only one in my position.

    196. Frank C.

      We are FATHERS, not CHECKBOOKS. “The best interest of the child” is best served by leaving us FATHERS with enough money to get a decent place for ourselves and our CHILDREN during the custodial time we spent tens of thousands of dollars to win. “The best interests of the child” is not served by turning fathers into empoverished, pathetic shadows of the men we once were … and still want to be … helping our child’s mother buy new cars and new homes while we survive on Spaghetti-Os. This is a PATHETIC, SHAMEFUL, BLASPHEMOUS system, in DESPERATE need of IMMEDIATE change. But it never will change until AMERICA wakes UP. The Courts don’t care about “the best interests of the child.” The Courts care about MONEY. THEY CARE ABOUT enforcing CHILD SUPPORT. For every CHILD SUPPORT DOLLAR PAID, the state gets MATCHING FUNDS (66 cents on the dollar) taken from the SOCIAL SECURITY FUND. Wake up, AMERICA. There are DEADBEATS out there, but not me. The DEADBEATS are the WOMEN who depend on our money to TAKE VACATIONS, and BUY NEW CARS. The DEADBEATS are the COURTS who CASH IN on this SHAMEFUL system. I have never been so DISGUSTED to call myself an AMERICAN. This LEGALIZED CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY needs to be FIXED. WE SUFFER, and OUR KIDS SUFFER, so someone else can make MONEY THEY DON’T DESERVE.

      Mine is too long a story but all the same. With one single year left to pay child support, they have come down on me so hard recently that I have no way to feed myself and I now live in a cold garage. They are going to take my license since I fell behind a couple of months after being laid off due to company downsizing as if they will get their money when they cripple me. They have increased my payments many times, eventually to an amount which was more than I made. I followed every legal channel to have my case reviewed and adjusted, though have never found one instance of them adjusting a dollar amount down to fair, legal levels when needed. The mother is in hiding because of warrants for child abuse, drunk driving, neglect, etc and I cannot have her served for court, even the C.S. people are openly helping her hide from the authorities and myself as finding her would lower my payment.

      I can’t even begin to tell you the horrible things they have done and said to me over the years, even when I was capable of paying this huge amount. But it comes down to this… They are going to take my license and have told me they don’t care about taking directly from my check unless my checks cover the full payment, I have borrowed money and and am in so much debt to everyone else as the Child Support NAZI’s are more important than anyone. (fyi - the mother has nothing to do with her children, hasn’t supported them in years and they don’t live together. The child I’m forced to pay huge amounts on lives with friends and her mother parties and drinks my money away, I even have proof, but nobody cares to see it)

      I recently became very sick as well, which has turned to bronchitis and is progressing into pneumonia. Among a few other untreated health problems, I can’t afford a bottle of cough syrup much less a trip to the doctor and I am now to the point that even if I could…. I give up. It may take some time but with the weather getting cold, I will hopefully not be alive in 1 - 2 weeks. All because of a year left to pay and no civil treatment when I’ve always paid in the past. I am nothing but a Slave, I’ve been used up and when I stumble once, they kill me. I wish the rest of you luck in changing this hell to be FAIR.

The information given to me about the back child support was very misleading and incorrect. I was told that it would not affect me in any way as long as I make my payments. For 7 years i have never missed a payment NEVER. Found out it damaged my credit, IRS checks will be garnised.. I recently got laid off they took half of my vacation check, took my retirement that I pulled out and contiue to take half of my weekly pay from my unemployment check. In just one week she has collect almost $8,000. she is living large and i am wondering how i am going to continue to provide food, shelter and etc. for my child that i have custody of. Pay my car note so that i can find a job and basically just live. ITS not right. And I had to pay the taxes on the retirement..IT IS NOT RIGHT…

      I am a woman who has been divorced and through the worst of it. However, I hope I do not live up to the typical divorced women’s saga. Other than the corruption by lawyers and judges who have no concept of the role they play in destruction to children and families, some of the ugliest players are the lazy, greedy, women who stand there with their hands out, waiting for everyone but themselves to pay their way. The men don’t sit around crying poor me and asking their neighbors to mow their lawn and spending their days telling the world how hard it is to be a single parent. If I hear that term again, I think I will choke. Ladies, man up, get to work, quit looking for a handout, and figure out your own problems.

      Family Slavery Courts in Louisiana are no better. They are experts in stealing money from non-custodial parents. I have been a slave to the FOC system for 18 years.

      Sad to say but I treat the whole slavery court system people the way they treat me. They are RUDE, UNCARING, TREAT EVERY MAN AS A CRIMINAL, and as everyone here has stated, are only about MONEY. I have have been dragged into court once a year for 18 years all for the love of money. So I started being rude to them like they are to me. The court appointed and financed “social worker” told me I could’nt talk to her in that manner, to which I responded, I pay your salary I can speak to you any way I damn well please. The judge in the case threatened me with jail for disrespecting HIS staff. I pointed out to him that his staff was rude and disrespectful to me, to which, the court room erupted with clapping and cheering from the other slaves to the system.

      My son just turned 18. I THOUGHT THE NIGHTMARE WAS OVER! But no, my ex came up with a list of “extra ordinary” expenses that “she has paid over the years” to the tune of $55,000 of which the slave court wants me to pay 57%. This insanity has got to stop.

      In addition, all my son has to do is come to court and say he is dependent on one of his parents and I will be forced to pay child support until he is 22 years old.

      If there is some class action suit against these kangaroo courts I would love to participate.

The only thing I have left is my son, the one that money was supposed to take care of. The problem is that he hasn’t been in her custody since 2001. But, the state didn’t care. They kept adding interest to a debt that was fraudulently entered in the beginning. As of now I am sitting in DC getting ready to move, yet again, because of the damage this situation has done to my latest relationship. I support this petition and hope that someday these barbaric laws may be overturned so that other people will not have to suffer through the travesty of justice that has destroyed my once productive life.

      I agree with everything said above. In my case another man put his name of the child’s birth certificate and I was told to walk away I wad not wanted or needed in this child’s life ,so I did. I am now married with three children and the mother said child in my case is coming after me for child support. I took a DNA test 4 years ago to prove weather or not he was mine and he is. The state I live in has determined that I am 6,291 dollars behind and they are now taking 50% of my pay every week. I am about to loose everything and my wife and children and myself are about to be homeless because of these biased , unfair , ridiculous laws.

      The Child Support system needs to be reformed. My husband is currently dealing with the hassle of having a lien put on his bank account in excess of $21,000, he can’t get through to the Attorney General, and even after paying over $5,000 to a family attorney, even he has trouble getting through to them. The Attorney General wasn’t even supposed to be able to do that for two reasons, one, there was a payment “arrangement”, which they obtained an “Administrative Writ” which basically meant that they could take whatever amount they deemed fit without having to go through getting him in front of a judge, and two, they aren’t supposed to put a lien on the account without taking it in front of a judge. At least let the non custodial parent plead his case with a judge or at LEAST let the person know what’s going on…they put a lien on the 18th, sent out a letter on the 24th, but then backdated themselves to the 19th….that’s not fair in any way shape or form. Hopefully something can be done.

    244. Steve Coleman

      The family courts and govt are violating the law and apply double standards. In the case where the mother is malicious, manipulative and/or out for herself as well as an abusive person, she can lie in and out of court, use the child (deny access) and violate the court orders in order to create conflict and the family courts will not question her or her motives, but will deny the father access to the child as the conflict is not good for the child. Thus, they reward this behavior in such mothers who use the child as an implement of torture. These are the exact mothers who will use the system. Of course the govt benefits from removing the father from the family financially as well, a total conflict of interest for which there is no one to complain to. The govt and family courts and divorce industry depend on malicious mothers to use the child and create conflict to and they all blame the dad in the end. “Best interest of the child”? Overall the father and child have been victimized and you never hear this aspect in the media, yet most people on the street will scoff and say “this is the way it is”. Also, ask yourself how many mothers (who “win” the majority of cases were charged with perjury…none you say…well I guess then denying fathers to be parents has a very low burden of proof since the courts must believe women never lie, and should never be questioned or have their motives analyzed). None of us are saints yet this is the way the double standard of the courts and the divorce industry presents women, and at the same time vilify fathers. Most of these fathers, as many of the mothers are loving parents, but they court/divorce industry REWARDS those who will lie and cheat, steal and use the child. It is accepted for mothers to be allowed to do this and victimize their child and their ex-husband for their own enrichment.

    248. Steven Moss

      State Of Illinois 20% for one, 40% for 2 ( from different mothers ) Plus non Licensed Nannies for both. ( half = 1400$/month). All post tax.Plus I am required to cover medical for both. This is equivalent to 66% +/- of my take home income. I am foreclosing on house, and live off of 20$ per day for everything. Both mothers make more than I do without Child support. Courts will not give me custody…Something is wrong with this picture. Something has to be done and the total financial picture of both parents need to be taken into account rather than going by default percentages…

    249. Saad jawed

      I am also going through this “child support” scam. I pay for everything and have provided my daughter with great schooling. But the court deems fit that I pay almost 800 a month for what??? So the mother can go on vacations and I can pay her rent. Now I will loose housing and my child will loose great schooling because the courts are useless and heartless when it comes family business. Child
      Support is a curt opt system. No better then the mafia. I am
      Disgusted with it and will never have respect for the courts when it comes to this.

      a child should be both parents finacial responsebility. i have no problem supporting my son. but his mother should be maching me dollar for dollar and maybe a smaller check
      and finacial resposibilty would make her think whats better for her son and not the finacial gain/incentive of leaving a marriage. and more inportant than money is the childs happiness some people wish they had a father i was one of them!

    252. Crystal Dengler

      Child support guidelines leaves our second intact family with very little to support our children, one of whom has special needs. Full guideline amount is always ordered even though the ex-wife and her spouse have higher income levels. Custody laws are a joke as well, tried for shared custody due to completely inappropriate actions of ex-wife’s current spouse. These laws must be amended so the children do not suffer from the actions of the adults!

    253. Dahlila Grant

      I have been a victim for over 10 years in US. Harrass to pay child support for two of my children. When I took their fathers to court; one father took a leave of no pay absent to stop the support the other quit his job to not pay child support.

      I never received any support. I gave one daughter to her father for three years and the state of Connecticut came after me for support. Out of 18 years the father never paid any support toward the child. Instead of him getting a job to support himself and daughter he went to the welfare to get assistant. The U.S. garnish my check.

      My other child stayed with my mother and then got emancipated for her last three years of high school. My tax refunds are garnishes to pay the U.S. back for not just child support of her but also the child she conceived as a teen.

      I have been emotional stress and disturbed on how the U.S. is very discriminating and is using forces to oppress and suppress my life.

      Now that they recieve funds; why denied passport. We went back into the slavery act.

    254. Eric Stevens

      I myself have experienced and witnessed the crimes perpetrated against good standing fathers by the county court systems. Unfortunately, the problem has grown out of hand and the only way to correct this and other unjust issues in this country is to dismantle the present corrupt and criminal government systems and start a new. Honor and having respect for all citizens is suppose to be a rule of thumb for an honest, fair and just government. At the present the U.S. Government is mainly controlled by groups of thugs in suits. As long as these criminals remain in political offices and our courts, expect more crimes against citizens and especially men from the criminals of the county family court systems nationwide. Caesar needs to answer and only you, me and other upright citizens’ can make this happen. Always throw Caesar, His Centurions (The Police) and his Minions (County Court Employees) under the bus any chance you get. Do not give service to any of them. Do not pour their coffees, do not fix or repair their homes or cars, and do not help them in any way. By helping them, you are cutting your own throat. The time has come to stop catering and condoning these thugs!

    255. Jessica Dandreaux

      I am a divorced 22 year old with a 5 year old. My ex husband was 13 years my senior, making me 16 when we got married and he, 29. When I left him and we divorced I had no money, no car, no place to live, nothing. When we got our divorce finalized almost a year later I was ordered to pay child support on “assumed income” being that I had just completed a training course for a job I didnt even have. Meanwhile he lives in the home we had, has the car, has everything and I had to start over with nothing. I pay child support every month even though I have our daughter the exact same amount of time, we split all her expenses between our houses and never share clothing so we are each responsible to buy her things for our own homes. She is covered under my medical insurance as well as his. I was 3000 in arrears because I couldnt make enough money to pay my bills and child support, when they started garnishing my wages, now I have petitioned for a modification and he lost his job so I will more than likely get screwed and pay more even though I cant afford to pay him anymore. Its wrong. The system needs to change.

    259. Joshua Lawrence

      I’m a 24 year old father of one 4 year old. Before my son was even born I was brought into child support because she chose to get cash assistance. Granted we were young and times were rough.

      I have been in my career since I turned 20 and ever since its been hell cause my sons mother cannot say in work. So since I make a lot they take it all from me. She sits her her but every day with my kid, her other child and a boyfriend. But none of them work cause I pay $1000 a month which covers everything for them. Not even including the court ordered healthcare.

      I can’t even prove I spend $1000 on my son. I buy all the clothes on his back, take him out to events, circus etc, every Christmas I get him a tree and he stays at my home and give him gifts to be happy, every birthday I’m throwing big events…and at the same time I’ve just been told I have to support an entire family that isn’t mine and then get slapped with a $14,000 debt in child support that’s been garnished since my son was born cause I have not stopped working, but I owe it anyway?. Lord only knows how mad I am cause I can’t even do what I want to do for him anymore. Can’t get gifts or surprise him or taking him out to events. Very sad. I’m about to get a lawyer and see if full custody is an option.

      I have been on both sides of this issue. I had a child when I was 19 with my first husband. We were both really young and it didn’t last. My parents raised my daughter for us and we paid child support. I worked 3 jobs to pay it and make ends meet. after 3 years I remarried and had additional children. The whole time I was a stay @ home mother who couldn’t work due to the high risk pregnancies and how young our children were not to mention their own health issues making it hard to place them in daycare. My 2nd husband wouldn’t allow me to pay my child support out of his income. So 8 years later when we get a divorce, my mother decides that is when she is going to allow the AG to take the case over. I had to prove that I had paid anything at all because they didn’t even step into the clerks office while they were in the building for court on other cases(which they had to walk past every time they were in the building) and ask for the records. 18,000 is what they said I owed. I proved I had paid 12,000 of it, wihtout any help from the bought for lacky of a lawyer they stuck me with. ( He actually boosted to another lawyer how easy money these cases were in front of me and my family and told him he should get in on it) Probation, Probation fees, lawyer fees, court costs, plus raised Child Support to cover their imposed interest. They didn’t even tell me I had to report that day. They were too busy being upset that my lawyer was late to court because they wanted to go to lunch.
      My current husband has 2 different exs he had to deal with. They stuck him in jail, made him sell everything he owned, he has an injury which is the cause of his disability, the AG actually accused him of DR shopping and wanted him to sell his only possession.(a truck worth $200 ) the judge tole them no that he needed a way to get around. After 23 years of this treatment, We finally got the best of them all! our Child Support is paid in full, all the kids live with us, his exs came out lucky not to be in jail their selves( between lying to the judge (2nd ex), accepting both ssi and child support at the same time((which is a federal crime when it deducted from disability) his 1st ex), child endangerment,etc.)

      Now I am dealing with my 2nd ex over nonpayment of chid support, and he is claiming the kids on his taxes even though they live with me. Because I don’t want to deal with the AG in this case, I am left trying to get him to do the right thing. (-$4500in Child Support, -$800 in medical) I really don’t want to put him through the same ringer but he is not giving me much choice.

      Sometimes there are reasons why an ex waits to file with the AG.

      I have two children by two different women. The mother of my youngest child and myself get along fine and I believe she handles our daughter well and we have a good custody agreement. I get to see my daughter many times a year, not as much as I would like but a good amount of time.

      The mother of my oldest daughter lives off of many government programs, married someone else, has two kids by him. They live in a small two bedroom single wide mobile home, and I don’t agree with the way my daughter is raised. Child support for her take 60% of my pay, I missed a court date and as such have no known custody agreement with her, but the mom has her. She moved across country from me and I am lucky to see my daughter a month out of the year and to get her I have to go out, pick her up and take her back. Her mom also makes me jump through a lot of hoops to get my daughter even tho the child support keeps me from being able to support myself.

      I was out of work for a while and got behind on child support, and even lost my drivers license for a while (good luck finding a job with out one of those). Child support takes all my money and I cannot support myself even while working full time now. I cannot take child support off my taxes of claim my children for the earned income credits. If you have tax problems (which child support is also taking my tax return), credit card problems, any other debt there are a ton of programs out there to help you get out of it, with child support debt you are given no help, kicked down and looked at like an awful human with no rights. I am about to be homeless and that will surely in the end make me lose my job all because of child support on a child I never get to see.

      The system is broken and it set up to make you fall and once you’re down they stomp you into the ground. That is why I support Ron Paul, not because I don’t want to pay to support my kids, but because the government should not have the power to ruin my life and make me become homeless. I would love to support my children, I would love to see them more, my children are my life, but the system is not helping me down that.

    281. David N Johanson

      I am all for paying a reasonable child support payment for my kids benefit. Especially when I know it will go to their welfare and not paying for my ex-wifes new car, vacation, etc. I realize that some of the support money is used to improve the general livings standard for the kids and the ex-spouse, but there should be a limit (standard support calculations are harsh to the non-custodial parents). If the non-custodial is no longer able to maintain the mortgage payments and bills then it appears the system is unfair and draconian in its methods. We need a reformation of Child Support calculations that takes a more balance and reasonable approach to elevating/balancing the living standards that the children actually need and his healthy for both the custodial and non-custodial parent.
