HI EVERYONE/ in 2005 my ex wife was awarded a divorce without me being properly served. anyway, on the form 14 calculation it stated that my income was 10,000 a month/ i only made 3,000 a month/ i lost everything / the spirit of greed is a nasty spirit that doesn’t play fair/ i want to encourage everyone to let Jesus come into your heart and he will give you perfect peace in the mist of your situation/ i was bitter for 3 years because my living conditions went from good to bad overnight/ my ex wife decided she wanted out of our marriage/ that’s between her and Jesus/ i had to honestly forgive her/ when we walk in integrity it pleases God/ I’m just starting to regain my life back,however i still have crazy arrerages to pay/ my support for two kids was 2300.00 a month/ of course i couldn’t pay it/ ive been to jail twice because i couldnt pay it/ however when the judge looks at the child support order he tells them that something must be done to help me because this is unfair to me/ my ex knows that i never made 120,000 a year, but that spirit in her is causing her to miss her perfect will of God in her life/ my son called me the other day and told me he just want to be around me/it felt great

The system is definitely corrupt. I pay $1100 a month and have $50000 in back child support that I owe. I pay $100 a month to back child support and have been paying for years. Alot of the back child support was because the mother lived on welfare for years and I am paying back the state. Guess what? She’s had another kid by someone else who ditched her and she STILL lives on welfare and now the state is trying to modify my order to increase it even more??? How in the hell does that make sense? I am remarried and my wife and I have 1 child together plus she has 3 children from a previous marriage and their father hasn’t paid in over 2 years and has moved out of the country….yet they are trying to increase my support? If they push to have an increase it will literally kill us and we will be forced to live in pure poverty. As it stands right now we are struggling to make it work…yet they don’t take ANY of it into consideration. They only go by gross income, not by the fact that my wife’s ex hasn’t paid in over 2 years, that we can’t include her 3 children as dependents in the home to reduce the increase, not that I already have $50000 in back child support, and they don’t make her claim her welfare benefits as income so she makes “0″. How fair is that? I can completely understand why men hide and take low income jobs so that they are not raped by the system anymore than they already are. I pay my support but I just want to be left the $@** alone! Something HAS to be done. These women need to quit being protected by the government and there needs be accountability for them as well. The should NEVER be allowed to stay on welfare year after year after year and should be forced to work to provide for their kids too. I could go on and on because I have so much more to say. It always falls on deaf ears and people are programmed to look at you funny if you complain about it and then judge you as a bad father, when in all actuality it has nothing to do with being a good or bad father and everything to do with EXTORTION!

Maybe you should have read my writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. It covers all of this and more. A decision is coming soon….Win or lose, no-one can snooze.

We must file appeal after appeal, writ after writ. From the hinterlands to the metropolises…file those Appels!!!

My Story:
I have been supporting my 16 year old daughter all her life. Her mother lost her job and is now on Public Asst. My daughter is one of three. Lawyer representing IV-D said it is hard for my daughter to get off because her mother filed as a Family - including the two other kids that are not mine. This is how the system is messed up. My daughter will be emancipated in her home state when she turns 18. But in my home state, I have to pay until she is 21!. I will be sending money to an Adult in another state!. My current Kids do not exist in the eyes of the Court!
On the day I went for the hearing. The lawyer for IV-D said ” I want you to know that your Black Berry and the nice suite and tie you are wearing will be taken into account! What the @#$ I could not believe my ears! She also said that If I come in with a Lawyer they are going to take that into account as one proof that I have money!
I HAD TO CHECK AGAIN TO MAKE SURE I WAS IN THE USA !! I thought I was in a another country because I couldn’t believe my ears! So I decided that I am going to beat the SYSTEM with MASSIVE OVERWHELMING FORCE. They declare WAR! then I am RETALIATING!
Here are some ways to protect yourself.
Remember it”s all about control. If they can control you. You loose!

1) Keep all your bill and payments. You can ask for and AUDIT if they try to pull a fast one on you. Some lawyers don”t even know this! and if they do they will not tell you. File a motion for an Audit. i.e Audit with a court order.

2) INCORPORATE. If you can be self employed. Incorporate with the assistance of a trusted person and pay yourself ! or pay yourself a 1099 and expense everything you can. If you can, incorporate in Panama or Guatemala or Wyoming. Its not illegal ! if you can incorporate or work as an Independent contractor. CS HATE THIS because they cannot control your income.

3) STUDY THE LAW AND know your rights . APPEAL APPEAL APPEAL & APPEAL. One of the great things about the legal system is Appealing.

4) If they mess up your credit by making mistake. Call the credit bureau and dispute it. Errors by law will have to be removed after 30 days.

5) IF YOU ARE IN ARREARS DO NOT PUT ANY MONEY IN THE BANK. Keep it in the safety of your home! Again check to make sure you are not being over-billed by CS.

6) Find a trusted Family member or friend and Transfer your assets to them. CS will try to garnish and cease your assets EVEN IF THEY OVERCHARGE YOU!. If your name and SS# is not on any ASSETS they cannot get it!

7) Come to a consensus with the Custodial parent and then present the agreement to the court then get off the system.

The Bradley amendment goes too far and violates or civil rights. It takes from us our constitutional right to due process.

How long will it take before someone takes notice of this and acts upon it? Most of us don’t have very long before it consumes us too. When will we know that our voices are being heard?

I can’t tell you how much of an importance this is. I have been sentenced to 12 years deferred sentence on a debt that I owe. When did owing a debt become a prison sentence? I do believe in taking care of my children and I never had asked any of the mothers to bore me a child. There has to be responsibility on booth sides. One mother did not even know who the father was out of 3 men. The other wanted an abortion but then decided to keep and then nail me with the support. The women get all the say in this whole thing. One time a judge told me to look for 10 jobs a month then the DA spoke out saying he has to apply at 50 per week. The judge told her there was not even 50 jobs in that town and how was I to do that. She said its in the stipulation your honor. He just looked at me ans said good luck. I also had been taken from my current wife and children for child support warrants locked up for 4 months and almost lost everything. I cant imagine 12 years. If I miss a payment I go away for 12 years that I could not handle and I would likely off my self. I have mental illness and am on meds I have bi-polar and schizophrenia. I was in the Army but did not last long due to previous medical conditions. I can never pay the interest on the child support because it is as much as I pay in child support. So in turn the interest keeps applying and rising and the monthly interest amount goes up and up. At my court date my lawyer asked the women if they would forgive the interest they were pushed by child support to say no. Probably because it would get them a better sentence of 12 years like they got. Reason is and why my case looks so bad is almost everything I owe is interest on child support about half and half. I hope and pray that you guys can do something. This country needs to wake up and see that our rites are being violated.
