President Obama; Legislatures
To all who have signed this petition, will yet sign this petition, and to those who wished they could sign this petition;
And,
To the President of these United States, Mr. Barak H. Obama, Members of Congress, The Governors of these 50 several States, and their respective Legislative Representatives.
This is an open letter, although it may seem frank and to the point, it none-the-less is a subject of GROWING concern to ALL Americans.
WE NEED CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT REFORM NOW!!!
The financial cannibalism presently known as: “Statewide Child Support Enforcement” is eating away at the fabric of the American Family. Divorced and re-married individuals, single persons, domestic partners and most of all our Children are suffering from runaway greed. If it is not reigned in, it will become a scourge upon too vast a portion of citizenry resulting in social doom and a further socio/econ decline of the American Nation.
This letter does not concern parents that have walked out on their children and left them destitute.
Over the past few months, as I was engaged in an Appeal in the California Appellate system, on the very same subject, I have been reviewing these Petitions, and do hereby associate with those who have had the courage to tell their personal stories of how a County or Burrough has; “Rail ~Roaded,”… “Steamrolled,” …. Denied DUE PROCESS, and/or otherwise “Herded” hundreds of thousands of honest people into the economic gas chambers known as; “Child Support Enforcement.” Primarily over OUT-OF CONTROL INTEREST/PENALTY structures that keep a payor spouse in hock endlessly.
In each case of support enforcement, the governmental agency receives 50-60% on each and every dollar they collect in an Child Support action. If the interest cannot be halted, that party may well be consumed by the dragon that eventually eats its own tail.
My story is twenty years long. It has traveled up and down the State of California, involved more than 8 Superior Court Judges, one Commissioner, a parade of Attorn~eys, two DCSS’s, four State Attorney Generals, two Appellate Districts, and one California Supreme Court, and visited four counties.
Yet, in all of this litigational fanfare, I have never had any opportunity to tell my part of the story. (I have been through it all, and I do mean all.)
In fact, in the court’s opinion, (Unpublished), the Cal. App. 1/3, (7/2009), Acknowledged my claim that the lower court had violated my Due Process*. However, it refused to send my case back for a rehearing or interpret my appeal as a writ, as I had requested.
Why??
One answer. MONEY. State Funds are supplied through the Department of H.E.W., H.H.S. and then down to the state dole payout through what is known as: Title IV-D BLOCK GRANT FUNDING, coming under the Social Security Administration defined under U.S.C Title 42: Section 454, 651 & 666, Et Seq. You can look them up online or go to any County Law Library.
If they would give me a chance to submit my documents and give me a chance to be heard they will know the real truth. Extrinsic Fraud on a court of law.
But, that might make the county liable to pay back the Feds for failing to follow State Mandated Laws adapted by the Legislatures from the federal rules.
Regardless of the details, The States have enacted laws that places too many people on the streets, in emotional and economic straits, and deprives them of an equal application of the law. Not to mention EQUAL PROTECTION.
In my latest go round, I had to go against four A.G.s, defending a judgment that was obtained through fraud on two courts. I had to do all of the research, the typing of the briefs, printing and appeared in pro-per in the California Supreme Court facing a three panel Court without any assistance from ANY governmental Agency, while both my ex-wife and the county DCSS DEFAULTED on their response Briefs, and in violation of California Rules of Court.
All of this in Denial of the “Elkins Family Law Task Forces’ ” admonitions NOT to deny a ‘Self~Represented~Litigant” A Right to be heard. Hippocrates! One and All!
They VIOLATE their oaths of office and their Judicial Cannons. Their Robes are Stained with with the uglyness and disrespect of PREJUDICE.
And they do it to continue the payouts from the feds.
Mr. President and members of Congress, will you PLEASE consider Child Support Reform? We are not asking you to cut kids off. We are asking you to reign in out of control Family Law Courts.
If thou kill the goose that layeth the golden egg, from whence shalt thou eat thy breakfast? How shalt thy city be defensed, and how shalt the people envision the future?
Then on the morrow, what shalt thou tell unto the orphans who have no Fathers, (and Mothers), to lead them into adulthood and into the strength and will of a unified nation and people?
Respectfully Yours,
Paul

Please take a moment and SIGN for Child Support Reform. You do not have to be directly involved in the Child Support System to Sign this Petition. Yet, we are all apart of the System; if someones’ U.S. Constitutional Rights are being violated, you are being violated. How much more Government interference are you able to put up with? Presently, the Children are always the losers; relationships are being ruined, thousands go to jail and thousands commit suicide each year! PLEASE USE THE COMMENT FORM TO SIGN LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE; Thank You!
“The more of us we have, the more hope we have and hope is the commodity we need; RIGHT NOW!”
I’m not afraid and will fight the good fight that deadbeats and an obvious innefficiant court system monster till its death.
I am a mom paying support. My son decided to live with his dad and they wouldn’t split the kids unless a Jury did it. I can’t afford a jury trial but the ex is using my 401K that he will get in the divorce to take the kids. He never had a job longer than 2 years and has several drug convictions. I have a clean record. This is a nightmare and i understand why people kill themselves over this. I owe 9K in taxes for 2009. He got 6K back!
The system is very flawed. And is very much in need of reform. Not just for those that pay but for those that recieve as well.
My kids are grown and I have been disabled since 2000. The company I worked for downsized and I lost my job in 1993 (my child support was up to date) and I was unable to find work to support my children and myself. I became severely depressed and was unable to work for months at a time but kept trying. My ex was not willing to take a cut. I didnt know what to do so I began drinking heavily to forget about this problem. Which I was slowly committing suicide. I heard nothing from the child support from 1993 until 2007. I owed $65,000. $40,000 of this was interest and they wanted me in court . I was ordered to pay $200 dollars a month or go to jail. Every month they apply $230 some odd dollars in interest to my debt which is more than the payment. One bad thing about all this is my children could use my help now and once again because of this issue I am unable to help my children. Why can’t I get some justice? It kinda looks like I will go to my grave trying to pay this debt off.My children were with me and my parents anytime they were not in school and my parents paid for their school supplies, clothes and other things they needed.
Fathers being locked down because of lay_offs,still there is no jobs,yet while incarcerated,arrearages constantly pile up ,purge out,then return to court in thirty days after release,warrants issued for court cost,its an ongoing process,wheres my freedom ???????peace of mind !!!!! I will never be caught up on my own bills,and watch crime steady rise ..how do you start over when your released ,no home,job,or respect for the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It is crap that custodinal parents are not held accountable.
I think its a bunch of crap that they basis the amount you have to pay off of your gross income, when in fact we do not receive the full gross income to live off of. I also think its a bunch of crap that if you re-marry they take in account your spouses income as well. I think it a bunch of crap that they dont allow the person paying chid support to claim the children as deductions on your tax return since the amount you pay is based on the gross.
Admin Response: On the flip side, if the ex re-marries, they ‘Do Not’ take into account their additional income….
I suffered from a great deal of depression when I was a kid my only way till to deal with my problem so I thought was my love for females well long story short when the smoke cleared I had sixteen kids. I live in indiana and I have ten child support cases at 35 dollars a week a child that’s 1400 a month 1750 if the month has a five week period. I can’t afford this but my kids want for nothing they have what they need but since I can’t pay what the courts want they keep locking me up but the messed up part is the money keeps adding up even when I’m locked up and I owe so much because of the fact that the money don’t stop adding up. If the whole world is in a economic funk. How can they lock me up when there’s no jobs. I try to show my kids that jail is no place for anyone so I try to do things legit but its really pushing me to come up with ways make cash fast being that all I seem to go to jail for is child support. Listen it takes more then money to raise kids like spending time listening to there problems being there for advice putting me in jail takes this away from them. While I’m locked up no child support gets paid and my kids get they advice from the streets just like I did.
Please fix this government cas cow. I have read so many heartbreaking cases and seen people that I know suffer due to this crooked agency. Justice has fallen in the streets.

There needs to be something done to help the people caught up in the child support NIGHTMARE! Taking away their drivers license and putting them in jail for non support does not in anyway help anyone in the situation! All is does is break up famiilies.
It is a vicious cycle that the system has them going through. If they have a felony, they can’t get a job, without a job, they can’t pay child supprt. Then, they get their drivers license taken away and they can’t get a job because they can’t go to work. Around and around we go. There needs to be jobs and programs to help people like this.
What is wrong with this system anyway? No one can get anyone in any office to answer a phone calls. They always say they will return your call and don’t. But, iif they were to call you, You had better be there to answer!
Please pass this on and get everyone you know to sign this petition. Please Not every dead beat dad as they are labeled are just NOT paying their child support, they honestly don’t have a way and the system sets them up for failure to begin with!
Is it possible to file charges of purjury against a DCSS attorney? If so, where do I start
you know i have been caught up in this child support nightmare for a few years now. it seems that all the system is so interested in is teaching a child that money is everything well its not. im not a well off person n i do the best i can , but to me the most inportant thing to teach a child is to be there self to learn how to live when you dont have. not pay me money or go to jail. there is so much more to raising a child than just money even if you r seperated but does the system look at that????
