Comments on: Child Support State UIFSA http://petitionchildsupportreform.com/2009/07/child-support-state-uifsa/ SIGN a Petition for Child Support Reform! Mon, 21 May 2012 00:19:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Joseph Aguirre http://petitionchildsupportreform.com/2009/07/child-support-state-uifsa/#comment-1603 Joseph Aguirre Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:46:36 +0000 http://petitionchildsupportreform.com/?p=974#comment-1603 It is a travasty that in America this system exist. The Child support system is simply designed to generate income for the states, attorneys, the so called experts that testify in court rooms, and to create jobs for judges. The law should only allow judges, attorneys, and experts that are actually in the child support system represent and rule in family court. We should be judged by our own peers in the same situation and living under the same set of rules. I guarantee you that if this was the case the system would have changed a long time ago. Why is it that the government can come up with a welfare calculate amount needed to provide for a child but that amount is not the same for a working parent? My child support order for one child is $1,980 a month which is taken from my check after taxes so Its actually 30% higher when you factor that I pay the tax on this money. I have been paying this amount since my son was 6 months old. Now I want to give my son the best but you can't spend $1,980 a month on a 6 month old child. In addition I also pay for his medical insurance. His mother doesn't need to account for any of the money and how it is used. How is this fair to either my son or me?

Now I want to give my son the best but you can’t spend $1,980 a month on a 6 month old child. In addition I also pay for his medical insurance. His mother doesn’t need to account for any of the money and how it is used. How is this fair to either my son or me?

There is a huge difference in "dead beat dads" that never see their kids, skip town to avoid paying, etc. Dads that are actively involved in their child's life and that are paying for the kids when they have them and giving child support (that they can afford) that should be enough. These women would still have to pay for a place to live and all the other bills that they have even if they had no kids, so why do they think that if they have a child then it is the man's responsibility to provdie all these things? It would still cost her the same amount to live as far as base expenses, so that should in no way involve "child support". That is normal living expenses. If the amount is set for "child support" it should only include "child support". Plus most of the women I know that get child support - spend like there is no tomorrow. Not just on their kids - but on themselves lavishly and do not budget and then when they run out of money they want to exthort money from the "father" and know that if they get him put in jail for any arrearages - they will get this big lump sum of money. Very much a racket and so grossly unfair to fathers. Robbers, drug dealers and robbers get better jail time than child support - it is travesty and it needs to be fixed now!
