My ex wife and I got a divorce 5 years ago. She had been cheating on me for half of the ten years year that we were married, that I know of. I stuck around for the kids and I loved her, even after all she did to me. She told me she had been using me from the beginning and never loved me. I have been paying 886 a month to her and I just lost my job. That I have been working at for a long time to a Indian foreigner. She has not worked since last March. Sitting on her butt like she did when we were married. I have three beautiful children that I love and would do anything for. I told her I would give her money when I got a new job. She told me she was going to claim the my two court awarded children for taxes since I am 1 month over due. Now I can't claim them this year because she already did. I am not sure she can do this? So now I have to fight with the IRS. She is supposed to be working a full time job according to the court, I had it put in the papers. She is not a very nice person and she will never be. She lives with her boyfriend, her father, and 4 kids. One of them is her boy friends kid. They already have a ton of money together. She says she needs her check to pay rent on there nice house they live in. While I can barely eat and pay my rent in my tiny apartment. The kids eat well when they are here and I do not eat much, so they can enjoy there time with me. She is on food stamps and Medicare. Unbelievable. The Justice system sucks and child support needs to be changed.REPORT COMMENTS

The mother of my child and I broke up months ago and we agreed to support our child jointly, but now that I have decided to move on and date someone else seriously she decides to put me on child support saying that I do not support my child. During this time I had my child every Tuesday and Thursday nights also every other weekend. I really do not think it is fair for a woman to use the system for there benefit.REPORT COMMENTS

I have never used an agency to receive child support from my three children's father. I am so thankful that I am not like all of these parents that take advantage of the system and enforce the largest payment possible. It is an outrage the amount the non custodial parent has to pay! By working with my ex husband it has provided a better relationship for my children for both parents. When he fell on hard times then I took it upon myself to make up the difference financially for my children and it allowed him to work on getting back on his feet. If I followed through enforcing him to pay when he couldn't, he would never get to a point that he could take care of his children. My children respect me more for having a heart and they have learned that it is important to work fairly with those in your life. I am sorry that there are so many fathers or mothers that do not get an opportunity to make a decent living and have a healthy relationship with their children. The system has to change and enforce both parents to provide for their children in a fair and equitable manner! Bless all the families who are struggling and God give insight to those that make the laws!REPORT COMMENTS

I am a hard working young adult male. I earn $56,011 per year. My ex wife calls herself a stay at home mom, and she lives on food stamps, WIC, and Medicaid. I pay $1100 per month in support to a sociopathic free-loader, and the state of Nebraska strives on the parental alienation to keep feeding the funnel of funds. I am now forced to survive on $325 per week to support my family. This is completely completely unconstitutional and these laws need to change! - Ryan Cartwright 402-301-9855REPORT COMMENTS

I am a mother of two and I knew exactly what I was getting into when I was having kids. I can work and provide for my family. If you know the situation before hand then you knew what you were getting into. But still decide to trap a guy and make his life a living hell because he doesn't want you. So many women claim to be independent but are faithfully expecting a check from a man for child support like women always say you can't make a man do anything he doesn't want to do.....well hmm.. A man should not be forced to pay child support. Child support is a joke! Let him face the outcome whenever the kid gets old it?s all on him and that kid. And regardless if he is a good man trying to do the right thing some women will still have something negative to say. Then some women love to bash the guys name into the dirt and stop contact and keep him from the kid or kids. Its very sad! Stop it chicks y'all are not independent at all.. On some kind of assistance and still getting a child support check come on. I can go on about this but y'all get the picture.REPORT COMMENTS

As a paying father with kids in a different state, the child support laws need to be drastically changed. Just because I moved to a different state she automatically gets custody, which in return grants her pretty much her way. I have not seen my kids in over a year as she refuses to allow the kids to travel out of state. Doesn't matter that my kids grandmother and great grandmother are dying from cancer and only seen the kids once "when we were still married", but she was quick to take the 10 grand they gave her to bail out her credit card debt. She expects me to spend 1000$ on a plane ticket, 500$ a week for a room, 100's$ for a rental car, even though I've offered to fly her and the kids out here all expenses paid, and she still refuses. I'm forced to take a drug test to see my kids just because she requested it after I requested that her mother do so" pill addict watching my kids" in custody battle be required to submit to a drug test in order to watch my kids, somehow it got flipped around on me, no drug test for her pill popping mama, who's watching my kids instead of the mother who runs off when she can to find a piece of tail or her next way out. "Feel sorry for that future guy" The Xwife still lives at home with her parents with my 2 children "she's never moved away from home, ever" and is now 31. She makes 20$ and hour, plus my 600$ a month in child support, but fails to support the children, she's just supporting her parents and her way of life at the cost of my children's. I make 15$ an hour " no vacation time", had all my money and items sucked away by her, everything I worked for in my life, gone, all I had was my old car. I now have had a place of my own for a year now. "Divorced for 4 years" I take home 1200$ a month, 600 of that goes to rent. So with 600$ I pay my renters insurance, car insurance, cable, electric, gas, student loans, dental work, everything I need to pay, but yet she still makes 3x what I do on top of the 600$ a month I give her, and still lives at home... My mother raised my brother and I by her self without child support on a waitress's wage... so a woman who makes 20$ an hour and gets 600$ a month in child support, uses her parents at live in baby sitters, should not have any problem providing a room for each kid, but they still live 5 deep in a 3 bedroom house. I love my kids, and will always pay/love them, but find it RATHER HARD, to pay for something I have no part in, and that's her decision, but she would lie in court in a heart beat to protect her way of life. Her lies cost us our marriage and friendship. What's even worst, is if I make any more money, she can come after me for even more money...and she would too! I know her brand new car, name brand designer clothes, hair and nail appointments bi weekly should not be costing my kids, which is what is happening. I'm still trying to figure out where my 16 grand in child support was used for last year, all I know is she gotREPORT COMMENTS

What I don't understand is why these women get to get money from the dad's who are actually taking care of their children. It is very unfair. When my husband and I first met his son was a year old, and he was doing everything a father was supposed to do... buying clothes, shoes, diapers, spending time with him etc. The mother of his son did absolutely nothing and to this day does absolutely nothing. My husband paid daycare up until his son went to kindergarten, and then the mother of his son took him to court for child support because she is too lazy to get a job. What really made both if us mad us that he had all his receipts from all the things he has bought, and the judge said that doesn't matter. Why doesn't it matter? He is taking care of his child for all these years and here is proof, but they ruled in the Mom's favor and my husband has to pay child support now. They don't even care about the child him and i have together, and the home we have to take care of. The sad part is my husband still has to buy clothes and shoes because she doesn't use the child support how she is supposed to, and gets good money every month. Why isn't she forced to get a job? It's not fair and I think if the dad is actually taking care if his child and can prove it there is no way he should be forced to pay child support while the mom sits on her butt. Something needs to change ASAP!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm from Maryland and have already been fighting this corrupt unjust system for my children and will continue to do so until the day I die. I support this cause and petition 100% and the issue is currently my number one platform as to why I'am running for office.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm being charged excessive amounts for out of state child support due to the my ex wife elaborating and having them base it off of what I made when I lived in that state, when I tried to correct it with what I make now the state still wouldn't change it. Now I'm paying excessive amounts in child support and the extra they take out doesn't even go the arrears so she is just sitting back and raking in my hard earned money. The laws need to either be changed or abolished its not fair to the fathers who work hard.REPORT COMMENTS
