    Its horrible that on top of me coming home from war with a slew of medical disabilities and homelessness that because I cannot possibly work to pay childsupport my license is being suspended. I see our country is just selfish as it was when i left it.

    This law is causing a lot more harm than it is doing good.

    I will agree that this is counter productive in its attempts to collect child-support. How do you believe that taking away ones ability to MAKE money will get you money in return? I have had my license suspended because I paid CASH to the office AFTER the 26th of the month, but still before the end of the month. What?!?! I was not told when making the payment that this was an issue, nor was I even notified that my license was suspended! It is a monthly battle with the local office because my online statement shows payment made EVERY MONTH, but locally they are not happy about the "timing" of the payment - even though it is before the month ends. It is systme akin to welfare that is manipulated and taken advantage of on a regular basis with no repercussions to biased case workers that are often treating you as a low life simply because you pay child support. It makes for a fantastic business model for young women; get married, have some children, cheat on your husband and then COLLECT! Lets do some soul searching here and find a better way to actually help the children - where is the management of the funds that are supposed to go to the children? Its not supposed to be for your nice new iPhone and having you nails done.

    This has caused unnecessary hardship on my family multiple times with dcss unwilling to work with people and the high cost of living in California. The dcss system is a disgrace it has NOTHING to do with helping the children. I am not a father nor someone who is in that system yet it has had multiple negative effects on my family with no benefit to the child in the system. They claim to want payment but then they do this to prevent work for those are trying to abide and provide.

    These laws and policies are ridiculous, an abuse, and counterproductive, but that doesn't stop douche-bag politicians from grandstanding and getting "hero" points at the expense of others--because that's just what they do.

    Trying to get a good paying job that requires a valid DL. I spoke with the recruiter and was told that I need to get it squared away with before I am given an offer. Called CA DCSS and was told that they will release my license and notify CA DMV that day once I pay the amount they demand, but CA DMV takes about 1 to 2 weeks to process. How that is possible I do not know. Isn't every thing electronic or does some ******* actually have to click some tabs on a screen to make it go through. I'm so worried because I have been out of work for 1.5 years and this is my best chance to fix my situation. I've been struggling for a while and I don't want to keep living like this. I paid my support and taxes on time when I could afford it and even when I couldn't. I'm paying money to a kid I don't see or know and his mother whom I have not spoken with in 5 years in any regard what so ever.
