I'm a 30 year old man, south carolina ruined my life at age 19, the woman instantly denied me in her life because she had a different boyfriend. I have never been able to get a job bc no one wants sc wage garnishment coming out there payroll. I can't get a passport to do a job in canada that would have changed r life's forever. My entire life has been throw out the window. And I never got a chance to know my kid. I am just crazy now I want to kill myself and I nate this country more than life itself. It's not time for reform it is time for revenge and revolution! My daughter has grown up in a abusive home bc the system denies my the right to be around. I have never committed a crime or abused anyone in my life. **** america.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband was ordered to pay ex wife #1 $1140 a month. This is more then her rent($1075)! He also pays his other ex wife $550 a month. We have a new baby together and I have a 12 year old from my prior marriage. I just stopped working because my job where I was working from home refused to allow me to continue with the baby home and what it would cost for child care would be half my paycheck and basically with the amount we are paying in child support my paycheck would go to the ex's and child care. I don't think it's fair that ex wife #1 makes bank off of us (suddenly has a new wardrobe and car) yet she's not working full time anymore cause she decided to try and kill herself (we did try to get custody and had temporary custody but the judge ordered him to go back to her because she was seeking therapy). And ex wife #2 worked one job in her life when she was a teen and just sits on her*****all day and works the system for income. Why should I have to continue working when both of them aren't contributing. Why should my son suffer because they are **** poor excuses of mothers and not doing their part. We have absolutely no problem supporting our children but we shouldn't have to support them when they don't support themselves. It would probably be more beneficial for us if I divorced my husband and went for child support. Ex wife #1 is buying new clothes, cars, hover boards. Ex wife #3 apparently has bought several tablets for her daughter that breaks them, bought her an Iphone (I don't even have one) and spends hundreds of dollars buying her daughter those realistic babies (so her 12 year old can act like she has kids).REPORT COMMENTS

I think a lot is missing from the article, i think it currently allows the mother to spend the money however she seems fit. If you are awarding the mother money to raise the child, the income received from the father should be justified and actually go towards the children and not the mothers bad choices in life. I currently pay approximately 25 percent of my income to my childs mother and still need to send him home with shoes, clothes, food at times, etc. I now have a child of my own and struggle to make ends meet with a good income along with my married wife who works full time. I would be happy to take care of my child better and actually have it cost me less money to do so. I would never take the rights to my child away from his mother, but do believe he has a better opportunity in life in my care. I am not opposed to the child support system, i just think that the mother should have to prove that the moneys received go towards the child (not including mortgage) because in most cases there are multiple others in the home contributing to the home expenses. If the primary parent cant make the right choices for the child with the child support obligation (as well as her new live ins income) the right to parent should go to the other parent.REPORT COMMENTS

Overtime and/or two or three jobs was left out. Child support should be configured based on a 40 hour work week, not total income. On top of my legal fees, I simply can not afford to live working 60-70 hours a week. Please!!! We need help!! Everybody else is getting help, why not us!!REPORT COMMENTS

Child support is Nutting but a way to keep someone in poverty I think if a father or mother didn't wont the kid they shuldent be responsible for supporting it everytime a couple **** they don't sign anything that stats they will help if a child is keep and a birth certificate dusent state that either it's all another way of keeping people poor no matter how cheap it is or expensive if u didn't wont the kid that means u didn't wont the responsibility for it either so y force it a pound someone unless the couple were married or agreed they won't ed the child then it's wrong to put the stress on someone weres my right to be free when a woman can lie to u and put u in it to help her with her dishon to keep it same if the guy talks her into keeping it when she didn't wont it I mean I haven't event thout about going to school to do anything after this happened cuz if I got a decent job they wold rob me and set me back paying for somepthing I never won't ed and for the record a birth certificate is Nutting more but saying who u ****ed it dusent say in the cirtificet that u are responsible for the care of the child just that ur the father or mother so if u wont to get people for support they half to agree to taking the responsibility not be forced to its hard enuf to service off of the little money I do have and keep myself happy or alittle happy with me life y shuld anyone have the right to take that away from me it's financial slavery an added tax and expense when expenses already are bad enufREPORT COMMENTS

I agree the amount should be determined by both parties mine remarried and made a business making more money than me but i hsve to pay a ridiculously high amount plus insurance which is going up every year. Plus i have to care for my two children a whole month in summer ,having to pay for child care while i am working because i am a single father. I wish they could deduct that from the amout i have to pay, because i feel that i pay that with child support, she has her mother living with her so she just pockets all the money and i have to buy my children cloths every time i have them cause she doesn't get them anything with the money and she goes out with her husband and leaves kids with her mom ....it is wrong that the system does this to good people.....REPORT COMMENTS

The mother use the child support money on they hair and nail. The mother sit around and depend on them checks. Instead of getting a job it's crazy how the way they treat the fathers. Money don't by your kids love ?? it's the time you put in. And then you have some father that's have felony and can't get a job and not able to pay the child support. Like and if you don't pay the request to send you to jail. To me it's like they want you to go back out on the street to comets a crime to pay the child support smh. I think they should take away child support and have a better agreement. Like bringing in receipt to see what you doing for the child. Like by pamper, whips, food , clothing, shoes etc. that's should be good. But paying 75 dollars a month is crazy differently if you don't have it.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm an active father in my sons life. I've been there physically and financially since the day he was born. I've never abandoned him, or turned my back on him. As an infant I worked to provide food, diapers, health care, and clothes. One day after a disagreement, she decides to file child support. I kept receipts of all my purchases, and I was told that was gifts. I didn't have the money to fight it so I agreed to pay child support, and forced to pay 9 months back pay upon the mothers request. Now it's 7 years later and my son has been living with me for 7 months. I'm still paying child, and taking care of my son fully without any assistance from the mother. I'm trying to figure out why do I have to suffer from the mothers pettiness, it's not fair at all. I feel like child support is trap for fathers, because the system makes us pay so much money just to hear our side of the story and take judgement from that.REPORT COMMENTS

I want to better my self and keep my money not get penalized by the child support Goons just because I'm getting paid more money. Every time minimum wage goes up my child support payment goes up.It's a trap for man all man rich or poor and some females but mostly man. There needs to be a change and remember I am not saying that I do not want to pay child support . Just want there to be a change in the child support system And laws.REPORT COMMENTS
