    My husbands license was suspended do to non payment of child support. The mother and the courts have put him into contempt even though we have 3 mri's and 6 doctors notes saying he is permanently disable. They said without disability that they don't consider him disabled and the mother is saying we are faking the injury because we don't want to pay so they base him off minimum wage 17 % 380 for 2 kids and if we don't see them 0% it will go up to $500 now mom is keeping them from come out.. How do they expect him to pay when he can't work? They make me his wife pay or say he's going to jail.. got into a car accident that made his injury worse ..the settlement money we needed for surgery they took and said as long as u keep paying your currant support we won't take your license. We went back to court shortly after with more doctors note and they finally lowered to $124. But said mom can come back anytime and it will go up but because the mother got over 7,500 and her monthly on time she waited a year to take him back to court. I gave her another $1,200 and she didn't continue the court date but I'm sure when that money runs out (witch Xmas is hitting) we will be going back. They just took his license again after saying they wouldn't now I have to work full time to pay to support our household and to pay the child support and find time to take him to his doctors appointments. They don't help by doing this the make it harder on him, he's kids and wife. Now we can't see the kids all cuz he's hurt. Good looking out. California. Hope we can make some changes before our kids are in the same shoes. Thanks Brandi

    You can't pay if you can't get to work. Plain and simple common sense.

    This is a great law. If these dead beat parents are not providing support money from every dollar they earn then what is the point of allowing them to benefit themselves. If your particular situation/case merits extenuating circumstances then seek legal advice. Example: legal aid.

    This law is very one sided! I have two of my kids full time, the mom has never payed her 28.00 a month per child and yet still drives and gets her taxes. But for me i have never gotten taxes back just a letter saying what i would have gotten back and i lose my license at least 3 to 4 times a year! Things need to change and be update to the times that we love in.

    This country and especially state California or so F---k. Up. How do they expect anyone who has to pay child support and tend to there kids , with out having any way to commute to work. I have lost my job, lost my car because they impound, left me and my three kids stranded in a very unsafe area all night because of this. Now Im homless, cant see my kids at all, cant find a job, this has damaged me so bad its effects has made me gravely ill. I sure hope theres some change , so others dont get sick and die from this like me.

    My license is suspended due to back child support from 20 years ago. I paid all the current child support for 8 years and that still didn't help matters. At my age and medical condition, it would be impossible for me to even consider the possibility of paying it back.

    I have recently not been able to make child support payments , I am behind . It is not that I won't pay it's that I am unable to at this time. It is unfair that my drivers license was suspended. I have a perfect driving record. Never had any speeding tickets or any other driving infractions ever. I am 41 yrs. old and a female. I help my children's father all the time with things involving my children. The money for debts should not be attatched to driving a vehicle. Who ever thought thiat it was a good idea to take away this right is very wrong and need to reconsider this for the sake of all involved. Thank you

    I don't think its right or legal for the State of California to suspend any ones drivers license just because they have to pay child support, the State of California has to realize in order for some one to pay child support one has to have a job and if the State of California suspends a persons drivers license then the person has no transportation to look for and get a job so they can pay the child support, as in my case I was paying $325 in child support the State of California told me that if I paid that amount for two years I would be able to get my drivers license back this was back in 1998 I never got my drivers license back as I found out the State of California lied to me in that respect, you cannot trust the State of California to tell you the truth and you cannot trust the courts to tell you the truth about how to get your driver license back after it has been suspended.

    Child support dept is a group of Nazi Anti father hood individuals using tactics of propaganda to extort money out of fathers. For the one reason of financial gain for the sole purpose of the custodial parent pockets. The child support system don't give a crap about any one or ones child..it's all about money... savages. So in turn they hold your licence to extort the money so the non custodial parent has to crap the cash out..or lose your license.

    I have always been in my children's live and was always paying child support even if it wasn't the full amount I was ordered to pay $750 a month and for 9 years I always paid $1150 I always paid extra and then I was involved in a motorcycle accident it took me a year to learn how to walk again and re-cooperate physically from my injuries and then to try to find work almost a year and with the economy changing, it was even more difficult to get back on my feet , during that time child support suspended my license with out notifying me , I get pulled over and the officer tells me hey Did you know your license is suspended I said no he was going to tow my vehicle but gave me a brake to exit the freeway and park and lock it , I called Chils support and told them hey for 9 years I paid an extra $400 dollars and then they turn around and say I neglected my responsibilities for 1 1/2 years for not paying I showed them proof of all my medical records and injuries and therapies and they said all I had to do was make a payment arrangement with them and they would release my license I said ok but they wanted me to pay half of what i was behind I told them where am I gonna pull $6,500.00 ? Out of my*****the Child Support Clerks response not my problem to figure it out how i was gonna do it that put me in a financial restraint , they don't care what financial problems you have !!!!! San Bernardino and LA county !!!!!!

    This law makes absolutely no sense! My license was suspended because I stopped working to return to school. I had to go back after the 2008 mortgage crisis. At that time, I was unable to find a job, so to better myself, and support this child, I returned to school to make more money. I'm not a deadbeat. I paid child support until I returned to school. It is ridiculous that my license got suspended. How does it even make sense? With a suspended license, I can't drive to work, right? So, that hinders my ability to provide for my family. With a suspended license, I can't drive to visitations, right? So, now it's affecting the child as well. This is one of the most absurd laws that I've seen. In no way can and should this be justified!!!
