I believe that Child Support should not even exist in the first place, for the simple fact that women are taking advantage of hard working men and these same women do not work because they can rely on the payments each month. If Child Support did not exist, women would choose their partners carefully, instead of targeting men and creating babies as a meal ticket. This is why the poverty rate is so high, there are to many careless women having babies by random men, for financial purposes. An intimate relationship that happens between a man and a women who creates a child should be their business, not a judge.REPORT COMMENTS

My situation is a little different but I do feel child support rulings can be unfair and don't keep the best interest of the children in mind. I do work and so does my ex. His salary is higher than mine and I have our kids at my house every day of the week. He is supposed to have them one overnight on the weekend and for 3 hours two nights a week. They are now 14 and 17 so they don't always go when scheduled due to sports or activities with friends. His lawyer and the magistrate only think I need $16 per week foe each child. I asked to talk to a judge and was denied the opportunity. I have hired two lawyers who guarantee I will get more support but once they meet behind closed doors with the magistrate and the other lawyer their story changes. Crooked behavior in my opinion.REPORT COMMENTS

$46k in arrears; paying support since 1984. Children were not benefiting from support since mothers were drug addicts. Youngest emancipated 17 yrs ago. Now paying state of CA arrears for their support paid to drug addicts, so unfair.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support laws in America have been and continue to be inordinately unfair for non-custodial parents, mostly men. This government does not care about the "best interest of the child" but rather the best interests of their own bank accounts and careers. These draconian laws not only push but shoves men out of children's lives in the "best interest of the child". Also, women should be held accountable just as men are showing how money is spent on the child rather than collecting a check with no accountability. If men have to show every receipt every paid for the child, same should be true for the mother.REPORT COMMENTS

I believe the custodial parent needs to work in order to help support their child. Alot of women are more about the money. If they dont have a job then child support should be lessened.REPORT COMMENTS

The biggest problem out of all of this is the greed of the women being rewarded by the judges. There is no accountability for the custodial parent to prove that the monies are going to the children. The second part of this greed is that the woman feels entitled to sit on her butt and watch television while collecting money for nothing. I am paying over 4000 per month. I am threatened with jail, I cannot see my children, and the scumbag judge that awarded this amount did not follow the formula that is supposed to happen to award the correct amount. He did not assess her with a potential to earn, did not care that she lied about expenses, did not care about anything other than his own arrogance! I think it is time that the people take back this country from the corrupt, arrogant idiots that have been running this place into the ground. Regardless or the political affiliation! Get the child support guidelines under control, boiler plate policies FAIL! let a father live a normal life, help the father see his children as much as you help a mother get money! If not, you will continue seeing suicides, and other violence brought on by the idiots that sit behind benches. The kids are the only one that suffer!REPORT COMMENTS

My comment is a bit different my ex wife's mother works, however I am owed $9000.00 in child support that I paid over due to a clerical error from the courts. Plus the judge removed my three children with my current wife aside from that he increased my support and is making me pay childcare for a 14 year old. Justice needs to be served my future depends on it. The legal system failed me. I over paid but yet I cannot get it backREPORT COMMENTS

When it comes to making a non-custodial parent pay child support they tell us that this was put in place to make us responsible. Well if that's the case then why do they not make those parents in a marriage pay a child support for their child? It's like they are penalizing us non-custodial parents because we had to get a divorce for whatever reason. It's like shame on us so therefor you will pay for getting a divorce. Everybody knows that all marriages don't always work out but there are so many disfunctional families that don't even come close to being able to afford what we divorced parents have to pay through child support. On top of that if we can't pay, the child support system burdens us with an unforgivable debt (back-arrears)!!! This is a pathetic system and one that is flawed in so many ways. This flawed system takes our sense of freedom away, especially the back-arrears joke. Does anyone in a marriage ever have the CSED come into their home and tell them to pay an amount of money for their own kids when they can't find work or an income to pay bills? No! Those individuals get to apply for state aid that doesn't have to be repaid... But us non-married non-custodial parents have to pay the state back if the custodial parent has to sign them up for something.REPORT COMMENTS

I would like to add that these domestic relations agencies don't ask women why they quit a job and want to collect child support. The agency often favors the woman and act as lawyers for them and protect them as they are all victims. They want to track our progress with work but with women it's another story, and how does a woman that quits a job, collects child support and brings a lawyer before a case. What else is child support used for? Both parents must provide financially, not just a roof over my son's head, I can do that and work. In my case because I'm military I provide medical benefits, so there's no monthly fee. That doesn't go into account in some cases. Greed!!REPORT COMMENTS

My ex hasn't worked in 7 years, and just had her 4th child, still doesn't plan on working. She has been going to school all this time, living of 2 child support, va gi bill, and married. I lost my job in the military, I notified the child support agency and they want me to continue to make the same payment, and she doesn't have to work because of her pregnancy. They push us men to work but, some women don't have to go through any of the issues some of us men do. I have been paying 515 a month for 7 years. I'm afraid that once I go to another hearing because I appealed the current request by the state, I'm afraid that she won't have to work. The current system is weak, and does not challenge the women that quit their jobs to become stay at home mom's, while I work and provide before and after care for my son so I can serve my country and support my son. Where's the Justice in that. If I have to get a job to provide for my son, who should a person be allowed to quit their job and try to support their kids.REPORT COMMENTS

To say the current laws are insane is an understatement. Being largely unemployed, (Not by choice mind you, CSEA had already taken my driving permit and I'd applied everywhere I could walk to in a 30-40 minute distance. And still had no luck so I started working side jobs just to send some kind of support. I wasn't able to make full payments.) I had missed one month (November, to be accurate. You know, that month before Christmas where you save up as much money as you practically can to get your kids presents?[Since child support is under no obligation to see if that money was actually spent on the child], and in 60 days they wrote me a letter telling me if I didn't contact them I would be found in contempt...For missing one payment.REPORT COMMENTS
