It's my final year of payments. I've effectively seen my daughter less than 20 times in 18 years. The court's just retro'd my amount for the 5th time and have me automatically in arrears again. This is the final straw. I'm done cooperating..REPORT COMMENTS

I'll just say this. I have a son with the most evil woman in the world, and the judicial system backs her up. Times are tough (still, even with gainful employment) because like a lot of people say, she gets child support during the year, and is probably going to make off with all of my tax return this year. Let me explain the back story. We had a rocky relationship (she was very confrontational, insecure, etc.---NORMAL lol) so I decided to end it. I NEVER said that I didn't want my child. As long as she thought I was single and miserable without her, everything was okay. I had to play this role for a while because of her immaturity. But when I got that new girlfriend, my GOD the thunder and lightning! She flipped out, kidnapped my child (seriously, she left the state with him), moved to another state, falsely put me down as an absent parent (???!!!!!) and started usurping child support, which I had no choice over. I'm still paying for my decisions to this day, but you know what? KARMA. Also, she was never a winner bc she can't keep a man (they all say the same thing I did in the end, and run for their lives!) and that adds to her depression. So, even after all this, I still get 'scheduled arguments' (call to talk to my son, she takes over the call and tries to argue with me) and her wondering why we didn't work out. Needless to say hopefully every woman isn't like this... If they are, then we will cease to exist in a couple centuries. Definitely smarter, wiser, and NEVER getting married. Thanks to women like my son's mother, who ruin their own lives and then expect someone else to pick up the tab. I hope child support law gets a COMPLETE OVERHAUL. If the father doesn't see his child, that should factor into whether the mother receives the support that she normally would. If they started nipping away at support amounts due to lack of time spent with the father, a lot--- NO, ALL of these entitled sob stories would shape up. The end, and GET YOUR HAND OUT OF MY POCKET! I am a good father, but when someone puts you in a NO WIN, they can paint whatever picture they want. That is the most evil thing on this world, hands down.REPORT COMMENTS

I understand the purpose of child support but in Texas, the father really gets treated unfair. I did nothing to break up the marriage and make just enough money to have to pay the Maximum (actually 22.5% up to the maximum monthly rate because I was already paying for my first kid in first marriage). I pay about 1700/month for the 2 kids in second marriage. I took on all the debt and she basically got a fresh start. Through the divorce process, they treat the father like they are scum and did something wrong....all in the name of "doing what's best for the children". So I am taxed at 28%, plus the 6.2 for Social Security and the 1.% (whatever for Medicare). So now I am at about 36% off the top, 1700 a month in CS, and I don't even get to claim any of my kids on my taxes. Now I get a letter that its in review and I am under paying? Why, because the maximum went up in 2013. So now, I might have to pay 2K for the 2 children with all the other burdens. This is very frustrating, and there is nothing I can do about it.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support is causing custodial parents to be greedy with the children's time. If a non-custodial parent is requesting more or equal parenting time the custodial parent should not be allowed to deny this. In our state if a non-custodial parent wants more time they have to spend money hiring an attorney and going to court in order to hopefully gain a little more time. The custodial parent hires an attorney and before long thousands of dollars are spend in the courtroom while the children's potential collage and savings accounts are gone. Children are being raised by only one parent. The other non-custodial is just a visitor in their life. This is causing emotional scars that take therapy to heal in the child. This is also not equality for parents or children. I want to live in a nation that parenting time is split 50/50 as long as the living distance is reasonable and there is no criminal history or safety concerns. Children deserve to know both parents equally. Unfair child support is just a minor detail in unfair parenting time.REPORT COMMENTS

My frustration is that my family court judge does not have the ...political courage to order my voluntarily unemployed ex-wife to allow me to claim my kids as dependents for tax purposes. This is a waste of tax deductions that my ex-wife cannot use, increases my taxes, and reduces the amount of money that I have to support myself and the children. My ex-wife's justification for refusing to let me claim the kids is "you don't pay ENOUGH child support to support me and the kids". Child support is for the care and maintenance of children, NOT Family Maintenance (a mixture of alimony and child support) intended to support a former spouse and the dependent children. Her Honor's response (sarcasm intended) whenever I bring this issue up in court is to ask my ex-wife if she will "consider allowing" me to claim the kids for taxes.

I work my fingers to the bone making twice less than my kids mother. She filed maximum child support allowed with the state against me when my child was 3 years old. She was the one who left the household and took our kid. I wasn't notified or anything about court. I was giving her money and buying my child the things she needed. Then one day I got my paycheck at work and it was 300$ short for two weeks. Child Support garnishment. Then they also said I'm required to have medical on her as well. Another 150$ a 2 week paycheck 450$ every two weeks. I lost my house in 2005 due to this because I couldn't afford to pay for it. That was back then. Now I pay arears and medical has gone up to 225 every two weeks. Long story short, I basically live in poverty even though I work everyday from dark to dark. Mean while the mother has had two other kids, gotten married and they both make twice what I make each. They have a huge house, a maid who cleans there house 3 times a week and she laughs about it saying it's funny that I'm broke. My daughter even tells me that the mother uses my paid child support to feed the other children as well as the husband. Now she telling my kid, if she wants clothes or anything else, she needs to find a job. My kids 15yo. Where are the rights for the fathers? Why do we foot 90% of the financial burden when it takes two to have a child. I See my child once every 2 year's and feel like I'm being force to pay for something or someone that I never even get to see leaving me to struggle. It causes problems in my relationship as well. Most times after paying the basic necessities, I'm left with no gas or food money leaving my girlfriend to foot the bill. She hasn't even met my kid yet and we've been together 2 years. That's how long it's been since I've seen my kid. Whenever I file my taxes, my refund is garnished completely. Who on earth started that. Seems like No one cares about the fathers well being with these sets of laws. I had no transportation to work because my enginge locked up on my car. Couldn't afford to fix it with my wages being garnished. Was gonna use my refund to get a cash car but every dollar was garnished. Its really sad how fathers are raked over the coals as if we committed a sin helping to create a child while the mother gets treated like a saint living off of the funds. I've about givin up on it all. Children should be a joy to have. You feed them daily and give them the things they need. Not garnish 600 a month and 450 a month for insurance. My parents raised me great and they didn't have to spend anywhere near that to take care of me. Even they think those amounts are ridiculously unaffordable. I loan for the day when both parents are equally responsible for financially supporting the child. Until then, I continue to live in poverty not stimulating the economy by buying things or purchasing a home. I'm disgusted with the system at this point.REPORT COMMENTS

I mostly agree with this law. The thing is....what is the proposal for the fathers making babies and chosing not to work. They should have some stipulation where they are forced to work and help the females who are struggling to take care of their children alone also. Child support has not only been "unfair" for some fathers...but also for some mothers who break their backs to take care of their children without the help of some lazy fathers....REPORT COMMENTS

Also-not fair and equal if you take my money and give it to him where then you do not consider their Spouse's income -- so now they have two incomes together and my support from me. 2.

I'm a women mother of two, and I despise the laws of child support. The laws are redicoulous, it makes me wonder what kind of morons are running the place for children services. I work, and I ask for only food stamps to help out with what i can cover since everything is so darn expensive, groceries is always more than a $100 a week in my case a family of 3. Housing is sky rocketing I rent so, every year the landlord raises a whopping $150.00 for an old apartment that needs a lot of fixing and it's legal in our home land the USA. But enough of all the million problems we have as a country, let me get back to child support. So, my ex an I came to an agreement that he would have of course provide for his kids. He gives me a reasonable amount for both girls and when he gets a raise he will let me know and we mutually get to a base amount for our girls and that we both keep in mind his new family. He has a new wife and they recently added a baby boy. I uderstand he has bills, I uderstand he has to feed and care for his new family as well I don't want to see anyone living in the streets because child support laws are not fair and that's why I refuse to go to child support agency I rather come to a fair agreement with the father of my kids. I have a friend that gets $1400 every two weeks and she works just like me 40 hours a week with school aged kids I asked her how the baby daddy was doing and she laughed and said that sucker doesn't see his money, he can't even pay his rent I heard he lost his apartment and car and had to move back to his mom'd house so, much for all the over time he does because it all goes to me so, I can go out and buy stuff and not worry I know my kids don't consume all of it but I will not allow him to be happy with the new women, I rather enjoy it my self she laughed. By the way DCF sanctioned me because I refused to cooperate with child support services. I strongly believe that child support laws need to be reviewed, modified and changed completely to make it fair for both parties. Meaning both parents need to work and that both mom and dad's income and finances need to be taken into consideration with core evidence from both not just a letter stating that she or he needs all the money lol. I have heard it many times that child support only helps the mom that is asking for child support but they give an attitude and act like fools when the patent that is being punished has no rights a treatment that is unfair coming from the country that says and "justice for all" show the people that we are all equal by fixing the laws of child support. I'm sick of seeing men and women that are punished by child support enforcement out in the streets asking for money because they didn't have enough to cover for their bills and food. I'm tired of seeing men and women stressing life and wanting to die because they work hard for their money and don't even get to see it to meet their own needs. Make prepaid card that will make sure the money is really being used for the kids and make sure is a fair amount and not for the luxury of the parent that took the other parent to court. Fix the problem don't make it worst. From a women speaker with as much rights as any women or men. (I'm a bit feminist but I like justice).REPORT COMMENTS

50/50 - It took two equal parties to make the child and should be the same to support said child as well. Both the mother and the father should be held accountable for providing for their children equally. The primary parent should have to provide documentation showing where the child support was applied. My husband and ex-wife split when she cheated on him. She was a stay at home parent at that time and they lived in constant debt with bad financial choices and overspending while he worked two+ jobs. Our life suffers now because he is paying that debt off still to this day as she still stays at home with 2 school-age children and 1 preschool-aged child. She has since gotten a DUI with crazy court costs and still overspends continously on herself frequently getting her power/water turned off. Each time he has gotten a pay raise with his employment, child support increases to a greater, more-ungodly amount. It seems like we never get ahead because she will not contribute to either paying off the debt or the financial burdens of raising children. Once the amount is determined through the courts (which should be pretty standard depending the area the child lives and accomdations absolutely required), the amount should be split in half and the primary parent should have to provide the SAME amount as the non-custodial parent and in turn providing proof that the child's support was rightfully spent on the child's portion of the electric/rent, clothes/food, extracurricular activities, etc. the primary parent should not be able to spend that money on herself and should be providing her portion of the bills thus having to work like the non-custodial parent who works FULL time+ taking away time he has to spend with the children. This system is very unfair and completely outdated. Equal parental rights and responsibilities need to be in place!!REPORT COMMENTS

Women should be required to work full time there is daycare and babysitters you even can claim that on taxes. The man man has to work and find babysitters. There is no excuse for the woman to contribute nothing. The case I'm basing some of this on the woman has never worked and is collecting child support from two men and she is receiving more from child support than most people make a month. Women should be told that if they don't work they should only receive minimum wage for support so they don't sit st home and trap men into paying their way.

My husbans ex wife now owns 5 properties thanks to his child support. He is selp employed and they took his 1099 income before any deductions for his self employment. Now he not only owes backchild support but also back taxes, back medical bills, and her attorney fees for contempt of court charges due to not being able to afford the outrageous child support they have put on him. We had to move out of our house, and move in to a neighborhoos that has break ins and a very high drug problem. We moved 45 minutes from his children so he alse had to give up some of his visitation time during the week due to not being able to afford to drive to see them just so he could pay enough of the child support. She buys investment properties with the support and pays their medical bills with her HSA and FSA funds then asks for reimbursement and gets everything tax free. If someone was to withdraw HSA funds they would incur a 20% penalty, she has found away around the system and now uses these medical reimbursements to buy investment properties.Last year alone she had more than $6,000 in medical bills he had to pay her tax free for healthy children. It is time to stop this madness and reform the system. It doesn't work and the father pays the price for a scorned woman. These women are giving all women a bad name.REPORT COMMENTS

The laws need to be updated. Mothers and Fathers should both be held accountable for providing for their children. Either parent should better their own life, whether by employment or education instead of relying on child support to pay their bills. Another issue is that a custodial parent can sign an affidavit charging the noncustodial parent with child support rears when there is no documentation to support the claim. The noncustodial parent then must prove payments some from 13 years ago!!! Who keeps records for 13 years? Government and businesses arent required to keep records for that long. How is a noncustodial parent suppossed to provide proof? A statute of limitations needs to be applied. Documentation from both parties needs to be a requirement.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband and I both work very hard and have dealt with major set backs and it hurts our ability to provide for all of our children. Both parents should be required to work fulltime period.REPORT COMMENTS

The child support laws should be changed and I am a woman saying this, for there are so many women out there not paying their share and they are literally just trying to stick it to their ex. Men being locked up after losing their job for whatever reason is absolutely ridiculous and so is the fact of their license being suspended. How are they supposed to work with no license. I personally feel like child support should be taken off of the table and each parent should have custody. The children benefit more when they have both parents in their lives. I personally love the women who tell their ex on their own that they can't see the child because they are not paying. That is just wrong. I feel like not each case is treated correctly. I am sorry but taxpayers should not be paying for the father's being locked up for lack of payments. The jails should be only for murderers, rapists and child molesters. If only someone had some comman sense. You tell me how a father who is locked up or has a suspended license really helps their child? I would love for someone to explain that to me. How about woman using one of the many wonderful birth control methods that are offered out there. There are some men who are homeless but, she is in a nice comfortable home. Something needs to be done.REPORT COMMENTS
