    It makes me so angry to see how unfair the courts treat men. I never knew how big of an issue this was until I became involved with a man paying child support. He has to work 60 plus hours just to get by. I don't think enough people know about the issue. We need to inform more people of the problem.

    There needs to be an investigation on how poorly men are actually treated by Friend of Court. It's not fair that I live in poverty, while the mother of my child is unemployed by choice. My daughter doesn't even see any of the money I pay. I can't even get my caseworker to get back to me, it shouldn't be this hard! Please review child support guidelines, and make things equal for both parties.

    I agree that there needs to be reform in child support. I would love to see a card like a health spendings account be implemented to assure that child support doesn't go towards alcohol or other things that do not benefit the children.

    My husband works 3 jobs just to pay child support. His ex wife uses the money as expendable income before she puts it towards the children. And now she is asking for more since he remarried. She is also getting remarried; in which her fiancƩ will be footing half of her bills. Why is her income and that of her future husbands' not taken into consideration? They looked into mine to determine how much more my husband could pay. My husband works so much just to put food on the table for our children and to pay our own bills. Now he will have to get a fourth (or a third job for me) so she can get her nails done and have even less time with them.

    Child support shouldn't be based off what you make but simply what the child need..

    My husband and I both work full time just to scrape by. After the support order is taken from my husbands paycheck ($1000 every month - yes one thousand dollars) and we pay bills there is nothing left for our own child. We have no means to save money to improve our situation for our son. It breaks my heart.

    If the mother denys the father of visitation, she should not get child support and go to jail.

    Also all child support should cease as soon as the mother withholds the children from their Father.

    The cs system in unconstitutional because it allows magistrates or hearing officers to issue arrest warrants, not court appointed judges. No arrest warrant should be issued without a hearing and this is happening everyday.

    The corruped system of child support is a form of slavery and its also not constitutional, by law it should be changed.

    There should be a hearing before you are forced to pay child support just because a disgruntled woman filed. I was forced to pay child support to a woman who made double what i make because she filed and wanted to be spiteful. It took 2 months to reverse this decision in court but she had benefited before then and you dont get reimbursed

    This needs to stop! Good Fathers can not support themselves or make a living to support the baby.

    Please change child support. I am getting destroyed by child support and hardly see my kid. Meanwhile the mother is on all sorts of assistance. I have to work almost 70 hours a week to be comfortable. It's is disgusting that only one parents feet are held to the fire.

    I was a single parent who never seen received child support. The system is unfair to fathers and serves to drive good dads to insanity. They can't have a life, the moms poison the children against them and drag them into court repeatedly.

    I think the So Call Child Support System is legally Robbery...and I've paid way more than my share to the state of I'll when they DOUBLE charge me and I never signed a contract with the state to get money from them or to pay them money back ...and because of this system I lost my son & future daughter in-law to a Murder Suicide... And now paying back pay (double the amount from 24 years ago ...and please note my oldest was 24 years old) and now paying for a child because the Mother like me enough to name her child after me for being there for her sense her Husband (THE LEGAL FATHER) wouldn't step up!!!! ......PS.and I still loves all the children even yours...GOD BLESS YOU!!!
