Unfair Child support Indiana
Fathers deserve equal rights!
I have seen first hand the damage the court system has done to a child and their father by making them just a visitor IF they are lucky enough to have visitation. They do not uphold court orders when a custodial parent violates them. It's sick when attorney after attorney tells you don't waste your money the courts don't look at PAS and forget about filing a contempt of court because the judge won't do anything. Father's are left homeless, penniless, and withheld from their children. They were good enough to help bare them but suddenly are accused of being abusive and not worthy to be a part of the child's life except as an ATM. The courts worry more about a dad not paying child support then a mother withholding visitation, filing false claims, and not following court orders.
Everyday in the US and around the world men are punished in a divorce case, they lose their kids and their paychecks.
The custodial parent doesn't have to claim child support on taxes because it's "unearned income." Yet, the non-custodial parent, who pays the child support, gets taxed on this money before it is taken from his paycheck.
Father's that spend a great amount of time with their children, are spending tons of money on them for food, toys and entertainment, yet they still have to pay the same amount of support.
Custodial parents can receive as much as 51% of the non-custodial parents income, even if the non-custodial parent is remarried and has additional children to provide for.
Child support payments may be based on earning potential. So, if a father loses his job, by no fault of his own and takes a lower paying job in order to work, he still pays the same amount of child support as if he was still make the higher income. In order to attempt an adjustment, the father must file for a modification. Depending on who you see, this could go in your favor, or not.
Courts need to examine issues more closely and keep an open mind to both sides of a divorce case. For example if the mother commits adultery and willing leaves for that man and they reside together, this is no fault of the dad's and she is technically not a single mother struggling, she made her own decision. Why should she get to take the child live with the new mate paying the bills her making money and getting child support. Meanwhile dad can't even live on his own now !!! At no fault of his own. SAy each make $10/hr ...mom.mate and dad ......so mom and new mate are making $20/hr plus $75 a week free and clear child support .....an dad is sinking cuz his $10/hr just became $8/hr plus he has to pay for gas to pick child up drop them off, food for wednesdays and every other weekend visits. I say thats crap.
Plus the 2 full weeks, fall break, christmas break, 4 weeks summer break, he is feeding and entertaining them full weeks but still paying the mom the $75 and child isn't even in her home that week!!!!
Seriously these support guidelines are ancient and need to be revised into today
