    My ex boyfriend has a lot of sketchy things with his child support orders. He currently pays about $550/month for one child, yet the mother is married with another step child and two babies. She conveniently filed for a modification right after her youngest was born. She claims she pays a certain amount for bills yet I'm sure her husband helps pay bills. And she hasn't changed to her married name with the child support system. Might be getting other government assistance I'm thinking? After all that money she still asks him for little things. You can't tell me all of that money is going just to his child and not the rest.

    The child support system has destroyed families, and has made it easier for bureaucracies to make money from ejected fathers by forming partnerships with single mothers, who legally extort the father for child support. Lastly, Title IV-D (or federal incentives) needs to be done away with -- period!

    I REALLY THINK CONGRESS AS WELL AS STATE COUNTY GOVERNMENT SHOULD DIG DEEPER INTO THE ENTIRE SITUATION (MEANING AND INCLUDING HEARING BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY) BEFORE RENDERING CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS. I CONSIDER MYSELF A STATISTIC RATHER THAN A FATHER WHO WAS ACCUSED OF NOT PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HIS SON, WHEN TRUTH IS I HAVE BEEN IN MY SONS LIFE IN ALL ASPECTS SINCE DAY "ONE". SOME WOMEN, "AND MEN" SUE FOR CHILD SUPPORT NOT BECAUSE OF NON-SUPPORT BY THE CHILD'S MOTHER (OR FATHER), BUT THEY DO IT BECAUSE "THEY CAN" AND THE SYSTEM JUST GOES ALONG WITH IT. AND EVEN THAT IS ANOTHER STORY WITHIN ITSELF...THE LAWS PERTAINING TO CHILD SUPPORT AND CHILD CUSTODY NEED A COMPLETE OVERHAUL!!!

    How can 1 child be worth more than the other? A order for 4 children after a divorce is $500 but the mans other order for a past relationship for 1 is $450?! We had to do our own research & everything bc child support wouldn't call back or just talk around the question. We went to court & got it lowered to $166. It should be a set amount for every single child. These men or women who pay can't live on what's left. $100 a week is nothing! Child support needs a HUGE over haul right now! Make the person who receives it show proof like receipts or put the money in a savings account for the child if you don't need it. When someone pays child support they expect the other 'parent' to spend it on the children & get what they need but no, we pay & have to buy them things they need & we barely scrape by but that's what you do for your kids. We both work & have what we have but she can collect every cent from the government & have dirty kids going to school. Child support is a joke & it shldnt be-it's right up there with all the welfare ********.

    I'm paying child support for 1 child. I have another and one on the way. Ita tough. But I pay it gladly to know my child is taken care of. I personally think if you have to pay child support the receiving parent should have to validate where the money goes. Lily an itemized list.

    child support shouldn't be ruining peoples lives. there should be a better set amount.. it don't cost as much as what is owed.. i have a son and have to pay child support on my daughter as well and they don't take into account my son when it comes to child support.. we are barely getting by.. if your paying the majority of the child to take care of them the court should let you have the child and not the one receiving the money just collecting it.. and yes they should have a law for the ones receiving child support have a job if they want it..

    I am paying back child support on a child i HAVE NEVER SEEN!!!!.When i try to talk to someone at the child support office they all say the same thing " It's owed until it's payed." The "child" is now a 22 year old man. How long will i have to carry this burden. and by the way. she is the one that left, she is the one that never told me she was with child. MAKE THINGS RIGHT!!!!!!
