I was when before i became disabled and with no means of money got way behind in child support payments. But when I was working I always paid my child support on time and in the full amount. I went years without money due to a severe back injury through no fault of my own. I was slapped with 10% interest on top of that through California which I think is the worst state to have to pay child support because non-custodial parents in their eyes have no rights whatsoever. This needs to be changed in certain unforeseen circumstances such as my disability. Whenever I tried to change my child support order my ex-wife would threaten me with jail, which to me is a blackmail type of response. While I was working I also paid more thousands of dollars to my children's mother who said she needed the money for this and that and that she would tell child support that I gave her extra money. But she never did and over the years I have given her $40,000 more than she reported. there should be a way to get her bank statements from her and her parents because she didn't want it on her account statements. I was doing all of this for my children and not for her. So now i still owe $103,000 which more than half is interest of 10% which you couldn't even get that from a bank or even investing in the stock market. Why do they put unrealistic interest on money that isn't even invested. The interest should be based on current interest rates at the time and should change over time. That's why all of us responsible non-custodial parents face and the debt and the time to pay off that debt could last for 40-50 years which puts a lot of us on the streets or in the poor house while the custodial parent lives it up for the rest of their lives. Child support laws need to be changed and taken over by the federal government and not the states because each state is so different from one another. It's time that responsible non-custodial parents are seen as custodial parents who want to be in their children's lives. -

*State statutes should at a minimum state that, 50/50 custody and legal custody will be standard, and no deviation from this standard will occur unless: there is physical abuse in the home sexual abuse Convicted child abuse *Judges will not have discretionary authority. The language should be shall and will. This is necessary to maintain impartiality, non-bias, and a consistent disposition free from Judges personal opinions, value orientations, and personality conflicts. This is the tip of the iceberg, but this is a good start.REPORT COMMENTS

The. conditions creatwd by cirrupt attorneys and judges is devastating and responsuble for the loss of lives. People end up destitute broken disable homeless and end their lives to stop the misery. I am disabled homeless amd broken as a result of the court alllowing my abuser and would be murderer to destroy evidence to sue him civilly and divorce him. The assalt and subsequent abuses that involved collusion by corrupt sheriffs who were enlisted in the illegal activities and harassment scheme left me so injured i could not participate in a divorce. The judge, jeff almquist, knew i was aware of the corrupt activitoes he has been involved in and the corruption that got him appointed before grey davis was Recalled from office. This judge wanted to discredit me and silence me forever so i could not report the facts involving his corrupt dealings and appointment to the bench. He made back room deals with my then boss who admitted that he paid off the supervisor for votes on logging that were favorable to him. In echange for the money given to supervisor almqist by my boss and his yax write offf non profit, almquist would give support to my boss to lobby state wide for logging reform. And my npss wpuld use his connections with grey davis and carly fiorina to assure he got hos appointment to the bench one way or another. of office in exchange for and.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been alienated from three beautiful children as result of a silver bullet TRO launched by my spouse. I am watching my hard earned savings that took me decades to save get spent over the course of the last six months as I fight to be a part my children's life and deal with an emotionally unstable spouse. It is sad that in country which prides itself on giving its citizens freedoms a person who has committed no crime can be removed from his home and the lives of his children due a deeply flawed family court system that facilitates the break up and impoverishment of families. We are in desperate need of change here!!REPORT COMMENTS

National travesty....devastated children, bankrupt stay at home parents, rouge rulings and sexist arrogant judicial temperament, criminal justice denied to children to uphold failed custody orders, officers of the court encouraged by judges to lie, cheat and steal for favorable orders, and judges who silence truthful protest by arresting innocent third-party Mothers and putting kids in foster care and criminal system rather than allow them to have a voice (as required by law) against abuse. Father's rights groups not focused on the importance of parenting to develope successful contributing members of society. Vulture attorneys leaving not a penny for kids futures. Desperate pleas for help ignored by California legislators and women's groups. Our children told to trust justice and professionals to be steamrollered, ignored and abused have zero faith in justice system as a whole. We want to be the voice of change and use our thouroughly documented case as a case study for positive change.REPORT COMMENTS

Sadly family court has become a cesspool of lies and criminal conduct. Litigants and lawyers regularly make false accusations, lie and commit fraud knowing there is little downside let alone risk of punishment. This behavior is devastating to the the ethical and innocent, including all too often children. The reality is that family court has become the major arena for crime in our society.REPORT COMMENTS

Absolutely the family law systems is in need of complete reform. The legal system is meant to be for the people. It seems corrupt, broke, and greedy. As citizens I think we have a right to demand a legal system that is for all people not just one based on general bias, or corrupt motivations of people working in the family law system. Completely blatant and ridiculous, throw it out and start from scratch. Same with the criminal law system.REPORT COMMENTS

Family Court Straightjacket= Legal Kidnapping = Reunification Therapy and Parental Alienation. Stay married legally and with a Res Order give one parent full custody while the other parent has to pay to see the child under the supervision of a therapist. Child Suffers. Family Suffers. Lawyers, judges, one parent, and therapist wins. This is an abominable and gross misuse of our family court system and our legal system. Much less our natural rights as citizens and parents. War of attrition and finances. No Jusice. No peace. No freedom. No Release.REPORT COMMENTS

I pay child support ON TIME, I have never missed a payment. If my children need something I purchase it for them. For the past 8 years I have purchased their Winter coats, boots, eyeglasses, school supplies... Their mother does not need to prove/show that she is spending the child support on the children. If I go back to school and get a better job - she can take me back to court for more money that again she doesn't need to actually spend on the children. They will never go without, I won't let them.REPORT COMMENTS
