Unfair child support laws
991 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
After children turn 5 they are in school and those women who collect child support sit at home doing nothing when they could be working part time to help support there children. It use to be the male as the main source of income, not anymore, we live in tough economic times, where it takes two in the household to support children. Why should those women stay at home when they could be working. The law should be added to so that those women don't have several babies and then wait for the child support to come in. They should at least be given some finacial responsibility as well as the father. After there youngest turns 5 they should should be required to work part-time to collect there child support. Nobody should have a free ride.

My husband has been ordered to pay 1200 a month for child support, and two of the children may not even be his, but dhs will not honor a paternity test. The way child support is figured is unfair and they do not take into consideration the expenses we have. This makes us suffer and our children in our home suffer because so much money goes out to ex wife.
My ex has a brand new house and makes triple what I make, yet I am still expected to pay him a crazy amount of support. He has a live in girlfriend who is also collecting support. I would have raised the child on my own and never asked for support, he fought me in court and won so here I am trying to pay bill and support someone who makes more then me.
she is just sitting on a free ride
Unfortunately, the system financially treats all fathers as if they are "beadbeats" with regards to the financially responsibility while they may be wonderful fathers, like my husband. Between the constant bad mouthing from his ex-wife and the financial hardship (the high child support) it has placed on our current family, resentments grow that effect everyone. The child support laws may have worked years ago, but they need to be modernized. It does not take as much $ as we pay her to raise her one son a month! We should know, we are raising two of our own. The system is absolutely biased.
First of all, being forced to pay CS until the age of 21 is wrong. In Indiana if you are divorced and your child is 18, 19, or even 20 years old and voluntarily chooses not to go to college or not to work (at all or on a full-time basis), you must still support them (and the custodial parent). Furthermore, my ex shares a 2-bedroom apartment with her live-in boyfriend and I am required to pay CS for a 20-year old “child” (who occupies the second bedroom ) that is equal to more than double their monthly rent. This is true even after my ex testified in court that she has my 20 year “child” pay her half the cost of the cable, internet, etc… with wages earned from a part time job. My ex works full time and I provide health care for my child. This is clearly spousal support disguised as child support. The system needs to change.
Child support Laws are destroying my life!!!! They take more than half my income from NY!! I now live in FL,,Lost my job 3 Yrs ago because of the evil ex,,Now all i have is a part time trying to survive & they just dont care or listen to me!!! I need help from these unfair child support Laws...Please somebody do something"""""
This law of "child support" is unfair. In my case, the state of Florida child support enforcement has destroyed my life. I'm trying to built a campain and lawsuit against the state of Florida, to change this unfair, unjust and criminal law. Thank you...
I agree with this, however i believe that something should be add. That is child support should be based off what it takes to raise a child not what the non-custodial parent earns when the non-custodial parent makes below the amount needed to raise the child then the courts should then calculate what that parent can afford and still maintain their own finacial obligations i.e. rent auto insurance utilities and food.
