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In fact, in the court’s opinion, (Unpublished), the Cal.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 want to help. The system is corrupt. I call for the release of all parents in jail for child support and immediate parental rights restored without being afraid of incarceration where money is the only issue. I paid well over $100,000 dollars, was thrown in jail 4 times, labeled a deadbeat dad, first my cdl, then my insurance license revoked and so I went on the run hundreds of miles away. When it was all said and done I paid the assholes off in full 6 months early (overpaid, she was collecting from two states and not reporting, 4th lawyer finally believed me) my 2 daughter are now 22 and 24 live with me and my 18 year old son is going off to college. It’s a disgrace to our country the way otherwise good men are treated in the issue. I’m here for the fight for all affected persons.
WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION and very EXCITED to do so.
To the Government, we have so much to say but we will only say a few things at this time.
The Child Support system is nothing but a BIG SCAM and a death sentence for those who wish to have a family, but are toren apart by THE GOVERNMENT
You the Government should be ashamed of what you have done to the lives of our great people of this Country, A Country that is One Nation Under GOD.
You have destroyed and are still destroying the lives of INNOCENT people. What about the childern, yes you have also destroyed the lives and are still destroying the live of INNOCENT childern. You should be protecting our boarders!!! GOD BLESS the great men and women who stand to firm fight for our Country’s Freedom, the very freedom that you wish to take away!!! AMEN
I am all for a reform in the child support system that is totally bias and unamerican. The policies in place only encourage some women to make a business out of it that is supported by the court system. The REAL CRIME is when a father is stripped from his rights to live and be heard. The system is corrupted and should be exposed in the MEDIA for all concern parties as tax payers. STOP this campaign of destruction against MEN and PROMOTE equal justice as suggested by our constitution.
Some of us are victims of circumstances that are beyond our control and yet, the options do not include a bailout. JAIL time is usually the first option and that is WRONG.
Ok, Here is where we start sending our complaints about the Child Support System:
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Administration for Children and Families
Office of Child Support Enforcement
Washington D.C. 20447
Attention: Legal Intake Dept.
Yes! You can send in a letter annomously. Send often. (You can use a Psudo name to protect your identity if you wish.)
If we begin to FLOOD offices like this with mail, it will help cause change.
Give them your real life story, this is NOT drama. People are suffering from this evil R.I.C.O. (Racketeering Influnced Corrupt [Gov] oganization) System.
Think it phunny? Wait until they come to eat out YOUR corn, and defile YOUR substance, then YOU will begin to KNOW what TYRANNY is!
HELP EXECUTE ALL FORMS OF INJUSTICE!!! Sign the Petition….PLEASE.
I am the mother on the opposite end with joint physical and joint legal custody. however, I am considered the non-custodial parent even though have children 40% of the time. it doesn’t matter that the father makes more and i am unemployed. i still am asked to pick up children when father has them and works, so i take the bus…since my driver’s license was suspended. i raised these children when they were small and left the father. i am not going to be on my knees, but standing up for the serious injustices and crime against humanity.
Neither THE US CONGRESS or the states have any right to force child support obligations on anyone, except for those who should reimburse the taxpayers IF they are able for money paid for their childrens benefit….if equal parenting were enforced as it is on married parents then the children would benefit most.
PARENTS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO PARENT will spend properly n their children, and do not need the State or Federal governments “help” nor does the government have any right under the law to interfere….the system has been corrupted to re-distribute money…and it does nothing to safeguard the children or the parents unalienable rights…..
If there is to be jail time, let it be for neglect of one’s children, not because the state lost its profit from the federal purse by corruption of the taxpayers purse…..
Thank you for fighting for those who have lost hope of ever seeing the American dream of a family and home !!
They even took all of my insurance settlement,an I have two kids at home with me and my wife,Im not able to work,they tell me to sell my truck home clothes,ride a bike.I cant take this anymore.
“WE DESPERATELY NEED HELP FOR REFORM!” I just recieved a notice that i must pay $772 .00 a month for my soon to be 20 yr.old son who is a German citizen , the German Courts are working through the Ga. OFFICE of Child Support Enforcement,and whatever the Germans say they enforce with no questions for proof of the orders. I have two younger children from my current marriage (4& 6) ,and paying an extra $340.00 a month will be a financial strain on my family here. My ex wife waited 14 years to go through the German legal system after i had been sending clothes, money orders through mail; (not all of the money orders were accounted for, thus more arrears.). I have contacted lawyers no none wants to touch this because their not familiar with international law. ” HELP PLEASE!”
To Ray:
Hang in there something is in the works…….
I hope something happens soon for all the oppressed. How this country got so far off track is just amazing. How many go “Postal” every year and it’s not reported?
Think of all the pain in all aspects.
Thomas Jefferson knew what governments could do to a person. He and the other founding fathers gave us “All ” Life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
God Help Us!!
I also have been jailed, and have lost what little I had after my divorce to child support.
and I am still behind. now my ex wife has a attorney taken me back to court again.
Her attorney knows i have nothing any more, and she knows but, they do it anyway because they can. and then they put his attorney fees on top of it.
suicide is all a person can do. you have no help, nor do they care.
I just have to wonder what it is doing to the kids whos Dads are forced to kill themselfs because of their mothers and the courts.
I am a mother who is caught up in a web of deceit. In one month child support quadrupled to 45,000. It continues to go up. There are no laws being followed and I am being economically attacked. The state of California has numerous gate keepers to protect the corruption. Children and families are being hurt by the child support enforcement and profiteering. When I fight for what is right I am economically terrorized. Time for change the system is placing greed first and it is out of control.
I lost in court last monday. I now owe $31,800, the highest figure I’ve heard yet. I have been out of work 4 months now. They’ve taken my drivers license, so getting around is very time consuming as there’s no public transportation in this area. Jobs have dried up, so there’s no work available. My next step will be jail. This wasn’t suppose to be this way, this is what I get for believing my ex when she said she wanted to spend her life with me. The truth is she’s picking my pockets and so is the government. This battle is worth it, but I am starting to believe there’s too little too late for me. I’m out of money and options. My fiancee believes there’s no future with me anymore. So I’m facing homelessness now. I cannot go on any longer
I am for Child Support reform! I have been trying and trying to be involved with my daughter! However, her mother, my Ex, is taking this opportunity to “get back” at me. She has no regard for our daughter! She is intentionally keeping her away from me… why? Money! It is all about the money to her! Don’t get me wrong, I accept and adore the responsibility to take care of my daughter. What I don’t believe is right, is my ex using that money for her hair, tanning, clothes, car, alcohol, dinner dates with all of her boyfriends! That “child support” is not being used to support my child! Is that not what it is supposed to be for? I don’t pay her alimony, she left me! However, I am being treated like a “looser” by the great Family Courts. Her mother can ask for anything and everything and they grant it for her! In that same order, I am supposed to be guaranteed visitation every other weekend. What happens if she decides not to show up? NOTHING! What happens if I miss one payment? JAIL! This has got to be fixed, Mr. President! Our children are suffering!
stop killing our brothers,fathers,uncles and sons.
Please reform this out of control situation. The court system in this country is all about money, not the good of the children. If your name is favorable or if you know someone imporntant in the court system you get special treatment,
my son has been incarcerated numerous of times, (so many I can’t count) for the fact that this girl can call down the probation and complain about my son now mind you she has 8 children only 1 is my son and the court chases my son (ONLY) as though the other children are his also? Every since my grandson came into this world we (my son famil) have provided all his needs, he lives with his mother and other siblings. however we take care of his needs 3 coat are year 4 pair sneakers etc (I could go on and on). PSP, cell phones etc. however they continue to look for my son to incarcerate him? when the other fathers are not even being looked for? What is so sad about this situation that the other children DON’T KNOW THEIR EXTENDED FAMILY AT ALL? they call me grandmom??? this is sad. So I signed this petition for my son and my grandson. Stop breaking up families and giving children the wrong impression about their parents.
I want to help and need help.
I need help setting up a strategic reform group in Columbus Ohio (along with personal help with my case).
We may have to challenge the constitutionality of the Soc. Sec. Act (1988) and the 14th amedment violations of CSEA powers.
Waiting for congress is a bad bet because they already know the child support enforcement laws are unconstitutional and they just look the other way.

i feel if the dads r behind on child support but they r trying to pay it then why go looking for the dads and put them in jail? when they r in jail the mother is not getting any money that way. so i think let the dads work and pay there child support and go on with there lives. let the dads see there kids thats the big part for the kids to see there father
They need to pay attention to these 14 and 15 and 16 year old moms
making 2 grand a month before the age 18. My friend and his girl got a baby and he said he wasn’t ready for one. But seeing as how she was willing to do something with her life he agreed. One thing led to another and he left HER because she was a typical….. He didn’t leave his son at all. He makes $500 a week, $2000 a month. He supports the child like a great father would. But yet it isn’t enough for her, and the sight of him catering to another woman, oh his ex couldn’t stand that. So she filed for child support and stated house she struggles so bad to support their son. He lost the case, I was shocked. That $500 a wekk check quickly was limited to him only taking $150 home. She was making $1400 a month and some. He only had $245 a month to his name and sometimes barely that. How is he supposed to pay bills? Pay rent? Anything? She has little regard to their son as well. She buys a few things here and there, but after that it’s off to the next night club. She doesn’t go to school or nothing. Why not, she’s making up to 2 grand a month anyway.
I’m not trying to sound sexist, believe me, fathers need to step up for real. But let’s make these young teenage moms think twice before opening their legs. I see it all the time. When the boy gets the girl pregnant, he’s a good man so he says I’m going to get a job to help. But when things don’t work out and they split up, he still helps the baby, but you’re not satisfied until he’s suffering for something he doesn’t need to suffer to. Then you put child support on him. It’s just wrong and ignorant, tyranny. Is this what women back in the 50s and 60s fought for? Independence? And women doing this are pissing on thier graves and all they worked for. C’mon, get a job and help your ex support your child because he has to live too. It’s a shame.
i was jail for child support in 2009 and all it did was get me further behind.i am about to go back to jail for child support something needs to be done .i am 7000 dollars behind and there is no jobs what is this world coming to i think our president needs to step up the american people need jobs now in the last 2 years the crime rate went up and the job rate went down whats next OBAMA ?
