I am facing the same problems i have my two children like 40 days less than she does out of the year and i pay almost 400 a month and make about 25,000 a year and pay insurance and half of any medical bills and a daycare if needed. She has no job lives with her boyfriend and his two children and i dont even know if the child support goes to my children i dont see how if she has bills and no job. Both parents should be completely responsible for the child or chidren by both parents having a job me the father i cant even go to school to better myself because i have to work but she can sit at home and have no worries something deffinately needs to change men want equal rights just like the women even when it comes to the child just because she carreid the baby and gave birth dosent automatically give her any more rights it was a joint decision both parents knew what was going to happen and the responcibility of it. -

My son was blindsided by an ex girlfriend that tried and succeeded to get pregnant. As it turns out she is 38 years old, bipolar, has three felonies within 21 days, and desperately wants out of her parents house. She has no remorse for her actions and was using my son as a sperm donor so she could get child support. My son is a single parent and is now faced with paying her over a grand a month. He can barely survive before the child support goes into effect. She has been living off her parents her entire life. My son and I are denied contact with the child because my son will not marry her. She is violent and he had to evict her when she was pregnant because she threatened my older grandson. Why is this even acceptable in any court? My son and his son will have to go without so this greedy woman can sit home with everyone else paying her way.REPORT COMMENTS

I just found out that I have a 12 year old daughter. My child's mother chose to keep this a secret for years so I could not establish a relationship with her. She will not allow me to see her or talk to her unless she is coaching her to say mean things to me. She lives in Virginia and I live in Texas. I work and have other kids to support and she doesn't work but choose to live off government benefits and child support. She has intentional alienated me from my daughter and gets rewarded with a check each month. These laws must change to protect the rights of both parents and especially the child because my daughter has suffered for it. She wonders why my daughter keeps failing school and is 13 about to start the 6th grade.REPORT COMMENTS

Why is it OK to charge the father or non-custodial parent of the child up to 50-55% of his income in child support which would put him below the poverty level? NEW GUIDELINES NEED TO BE DETERMINED FOR CALCULATING CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS. For a man earning $30,000 per year, there is no reason he should pay $84 per week for his child support plus $30 per week in insurance coverage. Standard amounts should be set regardless of how much or how little the non-custodial parent earns...like $50 per week per child. I feel the non-custodial "fathers" have been taken advantage of by the system long enough! Something needs to be done to fix the broken system.REPORT COMMENTS

Stop giving a woman the right to rob a man just because they have a child together. A child should not be you source of income! I am so sick of hearing about all these greedy women who have been given the right to steal! Makes me sick! I have one friend whose paycheck came out to a whole .77 cents after going back to work from being laid off for a while, but she got back child support. women guess what if your married to your "baby daddy" and he gets laid off YOU help out with the bills.

The amount that I was being robbed from my check also increased with no modification or notice many times From the 480$ monthly obligation to 475$ biweekly that's 1,425$ on a 3 check biweekly month I would call n then they would lower it down n then later pick it back up again Over n over again n when I would tell them they the welfare would say. Well you owe back pay. I would tell them how do I owe back pay sence you all been garnishing my check since day 1. ??? Nothing I could do The welfare system destroyed my second marriage by turning me into an indebted working American. My exwife n my son never had anything we was always broke n all our tax returns got robbed from us I was turned into a nobody. My 2 kids that I was and still am paying for one 20 n the other 18 both Hate me n say f you dad you were never there for us you never sent us anything To this day I'm still trying to recover from what the welfare has done to my life. Take take take by any means My ex wife is now doing fine we divorced in 2001 she now has a house n receives her tax returns n doesn't have to live in fear of the welfare stealing the money from her bank account. All in all she is doing 100% better with out me. The welfare destroys families parents marriages n our simple means to earn a living. I'm remarried now n have been for awhile BUT this wife of mine now has an education n can stand on her own 2 feet No matter what condition I'm in. I make good money but that only benifits the welfare dept. My life has been Hell n my kids life too thanks to this system that they Call "childsupport ". And it's been hell for Anyone connected to me. So much money is being made off our kids that it's Discusting how greedy the welfare is to destroy families in the very name they call support. County support instead of childsupport But childsupport has a convicting ring to it. All these years I had to work over 100 hrs per week to survive being a Slave to the welfare n placed in debt. I'd rather had went to prison for the past 18 yrs then have had to live the life the welfare FORCED me into Man I can even get a 50$ loan I hope that some one wins a case in court that changes things. Nobody deserves to live as an indebted slave broke n family always in NEED. All in the name of childsupport !!!REPORT COMMENTS

I don't understand why I had to pay an increase of Child Support even though I didn't get an increase in pay. It went from $480 to $757 per month. I ennded up losing my job and I had to file a motion to get it reduced and the judge reduced back down to 480 only for it to go back up to 757 even while I was still unemployed. Now fast forward 2 yrs later I have a new job not making nearly have to what I use to make and now they're ordering me to pay now $784 monthly. There is no way I can survive off the continued increased child support payments. I've already lost my home to forclosure.REPORT COMMENTS

The problem with the whole program is child support is for the support of the child(ren) and is based on both parents income, but only one parent is tracked for payment. I have had my ex-wife stay unemployed for over a year and nothing was done. If a non-custodial dad did that he would have all rights taken away and probably be arrested. Absolutely nothing happens to a woman/mom that doesn't work and pay her percentage of child support to the child(ren). The person that loses in this is the child(ren) unfortunately and there should is an easy fix. Both parents pay into an account that the custodial parent gets a debit card to draw against for the support of the child(ren). Then this account could be audited if necessary for compliance of how the money is spent. Simple, right? I think so. Come on bureaucrats...fix the issue for the child(ren)!REPORT COMMENTS

The nation's Child Support Laws are outdated and gender biased. men are hopelessly taken advantage of and no one with authority concerning these laws really cares about the child at all, just the money, of which there is no accounting for. This whore advocacy program must stop.REPORT COMMENTS

The present child support law in the State of Florida is completely unjust and unfair. Most comments on this site are men paying women/fathers paying mothers. I am a hardworking, taxpaying mother. Yet, the "system"' entirely favors the nonworking, voluntarily underemployed, "self"employed individual. (Happens to be the father in this case.) It is a lazy law that allows so much manipulation and in no way benefits the child, by driving one parent to the point of financial despair, while the other parent takes a "free" ride. Wake up Tallahassee!!!!!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS
