    It’s still not fair even if the ex-wife works. The father makes less than wife and has to pay 25% of pay, and the wife uses that money for vacations for her and the guy she cheated with. The father still has to buy clothes since the mother won’t. NOT FAIR at all for struggling father who didn’t cause divorce anyhow.

    Women Today are not the Mother's from the 50's or 60's. Unfair broken system, causes bad relationships. Women use it as a way to get over on someone they feel scorned them.

    While this is a noble & valiant effort...my opinion is just "give-it-up". NO PETITION sent to A-N-Y CITY, STATE or FEDERAL AUTHORITY will result in ANYTHING true, fair or just. Why? Money. 1) It's what keeps this "cash cow" alive and ensures that the future generations of the those "in this Ponzi-scheme" live comfortably, and 2) They're NOT going to get any from the mother. [They] could care less about you, your child or any financial\emotional burdens (yes, emotional) that you have or WILL EVER HAVE, while you're incarcerated by this false, unfair and unjust system. As a matter of fact, it's again, my opinion, that these side show freaks are BANKING on you LOOSING YOUR COOL...so they can put you IN JAIL. Why? You got it...money. They make it off ya there too. So again, it's my opinion that we could get tens of millions of these petitions signed & the debate\discussion (within Congress) would go on for A VERY LONG TIME & still nothing would be done about this situation. Why? Right again. MONEY. [They] have special interest groups they have to keep happy so they can remain in office. I'll leave ya with..."I used to believe in justice...then I got older." There really is only one form of true & fair justice. And we'll all experience it at the end of this Earthly journey.

    UNFAIR! Women are abusing the system. For instance the woman I had a child with baited me into having the child knowing that I had a good job, and she did not. Within 6 months of the childs creation she bailed by starting a fight out of no where! She did not let me see my child be born - they are able to hide that too from the father! Suddenly I am given a notice to show up in court for child support, and they award her over 1K a month of my money when she makes only 10.00 an hour? It was her decision to have the child too! It should not be based off income - how much does it really cost to keep a child in your house? Here is the truth, not 1K a month! So now my salary is much less and suddenly hers is a lot! Does she deserve it? Hell no! Does she have a history with other men - YES! When is our failing government going to stop women from stomping over men. They are the ones that leave marriages (statistics prove) more than men do! Not all, but the majority. They know how to play the system, and this******government allows them to! This is not the greatest country on earth if you're a man - thanks a lot U.S.A.

    The LBGTQ is a gang they rule and in power and unstoppable. And have all men by the nuts. I hear so many women talking about how independent they're how they don't need a man how men owe them for what they going threw the only thing he's good for is something to wipe her feet on. Women have done a ton of damage on innocent men because they can. You could be doing the right thing and since she's power tripping and she no she can get away with it. I have three brothers on child support including myself. I guess we are all dead beats smh. Women don't get held accountable for there action. The mother of my son went from gay to straight to gay got pregnant by a man put me and him on child support. Stop working because I got a great paying job. I came across tons of information pointing out facts about child support is illegal and unconstitutional and yet they allow them to destroy men and our kid's. Child Support go off of HEARSY obtaining information through fraud and force and tricking you under duress and coerce never telling you child support is a service.... Here's a little something 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable.

    I agree the govt clearly care less about fathers and helped these women get the idea of ruining a man life with child support for the rest of his life while they do less and have more access to being successful then men once they have the children their lives are less demanding in the work field seeing how they can collect child support all year round and file the children on their taxes anyway that's how they are easily passing the men in society by vandalizing our pockets even though we too have to live off that check the court just takes don't ask they don't care if you have rent groceries transportation needs back and forth from work that's not a concern but the women can spend child support on clothes going out drinking or on a new man while we have to break our backs to see anything this is a injustice that's been plaguing the world before I was born but women in all races have developed the scheme on child hustling so many dads have been forced into unsuccessful situations not able to get back to school young dads especially because they have to work for one night mistake that's going to cost them their whole life one night there is no protection for men against these hustlers we need a attentive govt not willing to call us no good because they have families where the women don't act like this is a real society so many men turn to crime after child support and that is running the society and raising the crime rate that was built off men sacrificing themselves it's the govt duty to protect us from these scammers plaguing the men on this society lower the child support kids don't need the majority of the money a kid can survive for a week in school which provides lunch and transportation how many pairs of food and candy bars do you think a kid needs for two weeks while dads are losing their minds because they are working and can't receive their due how about you make the mom work those at these jobs to get that so we can get a second job or go back to college

    I am a mother of 3...ages 16 14 and 9. I am paying child support for my 2 oldest. I just received a letter from child support office saying the custodial parent is requesting for re eval. Now i am paying $300 a month already. I am barely making ends meet. Custodial parent is married and is working and he is now on ssdi. They bought a house using his cashed out retirement. They opened a child care and also fostering kids. Now that he is on ssdi, he wants me to basically supplement his income because they cant afford the house they live in. Now in CA, they calculate the gross income and they don't take the custodial's spouse's income into account. But if i get married, my spouse's income has to count in the calculation....that is unfair! My expenses might not even be considered into account. I am also on intermittent family medical leave so my check sometimes is only around $900 take home. CA is one of the most expensive place to live in.

    My fiancé and I work two to three jobs each to support his two children and my two children. I do not collect child support from my ex husband although I could. I don't think it's fair to take his money when having the kids was just as much my choice as his and we share custody. However, my fiancés ex wife makes little money and has a very rich fiancé herself, and collects a lot of money from us while we have to fight to have any time at all with the kids. The system is completely rigged against the father. Custody should be split equally and support should not be based on income, but on what it truly costs for the kids each month and then split between the parents. Why should we pay for everything and then some for his ex wife who is uneducated to take our money and ruin our way of living, and then control when we can and can't be a part of the kids lives?? He is a great dad who wants to be a part of his kids lives but he government has said he only gets every other weekend.

    The Bradley Amendment is unconstitutional punishment of noncustodial parents. This amendment has more to do with running government as a business than the welfare of children. This amendment is the real killer of many men who do what they can to get ahead and punished and shamed unusually a violation of constitutional rights. The system is rigged, one-sided, and un-American. There is a difference between a coward deadbeat and a parent doing that they can. No man or woman who is noncustodial should never be punished or harassed because they fell behind in payments due to unforeseen circumstances. It's called life and the American government has an amendment called The Bradley Amendment which has driven many men to their death. Nobody talkes about this but it's a sad truth. Just so judges, administrators, and state/county employees can in Title V can make a living,

    Hello everyone. I am a father of two boys now ages 13 and 14 and a half. I love my boy's so very much! I have had a terrible experience with my first marriage to my boy's mother. She cheated on me and manipulated me in so many ways. I was younger when she did this. To this day I still don't understand why she set out to hurt me so badly. I was never abusive to her in any way and I worked three jobs that didn't pay a lot but gave us more than enough to start out. I even took in her daughter and helped raise her and loved her as my own. I never had a support system of my own as far as family. She used that to an advantage as well. She got herself a lawyer and and in my distraught state of mind, conned me into signing papers regarding child support. Needless to say, it turned me into a homeless, suicidal person. I missed our babies and she wouldn't let me see them. She left me with all the bills and rent and took both vehicles. It got much worse for me! But I want to say that I know it doesn't matter if it's the man or woman, our kids are most important! It took me years to get on my feet and I'm still paying her, including back support and my tax returns. I still don't have much money, I am halfway through college, and am afraid I may not be able to finish because I can't afford the child support. I am in FL. And she and our boy's are in IN. She doesn't let me see them when I ask unless I send her more money. I can't afford it so what can I do? I am a desperate father! This isn't fair and she shouldn't be able to keep our boy's from visiting me. But what can this father do? I don't have the cash for a lawyer! I hope someday the laws change for these reasons and those of you out there dealing with similar or worse situations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God bless you!

    My name is Tatyana, I am a Mother of 2 amazing boys ages 11 & 10. I have been litigating for 4.5yrs. I have spent $80K and my Ex most likely over $300k. He is a very litigious person, at every point has tried to use the children to be removed from me just so he doesn't have to pay child support. This time he got a judge that seemed to side with him and his council. I went in Pro-se as I was dried up financially. He stated he made $50k a year. Are you ready for the fun part???? he never provided a single piece of evidence, not one document, not a paycheck or a pay stub or a tax return or a financial statement, nothing. and the Judge took his word for it. My ex is their being represented with 2 attorneys over $375hr each and im Pro-Se. He has multiple houses, has a business under his mothers name, all his money is funneled through her. He had over $600K in the bank once just sitting their while he was claiming destitute. One Judge stated he committed a crime against this country with the Fraud. 3 years later another Judge takes his word and orders that I pay him $850 a month. Funny how things work. The legal system regarding family law is very broken. Its all depends on how much money you have to pay an attorney. The judges rule based on their Bias for the attorneys you have and nothing is based on facts or truth. So sad, such a broken system.

    I am a single mom of two boys. I raised my boys on my own, without the help of child support. I do agree to child support within reason. I will not go into my story, as it is too long to type and is personal, But, child support needs to be improvised on s many levels. I am currently in the process of proposing an amendment for this topic and concerning issue. A quick observation of this would be: The Food and Nutrition program is restricted and dictated as to what can be bought, I feel that child support should also be restricted with certain stipulations. Using the funds ordered by a court to the support of the child or even to save in a bank account for the child is a plus, but if they funds are used to purchase a tattoo, alcohol, personal items for the custodial parent should be restricted and modified. It can be done. Social Security has restrictions, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services for Food and Nutritional Aid, the WIC program, WorkFirst Program, among several others to list. This will be a lengthy process, but one I feel should be addressed.

    I agree. I also believe that child support should be calculated off on "Net" income instead of "Gross" income. I do not receive my gross income, so why is my support being based on an amount I do not receive? I receive net, what is left over after uncle Sam and other deductions are made.

    Current child support guidelines are unfounded. Congress needs to readdress this issue. I was married less than a year. my daughter is 7 months old and I have to pay in $1456.00 a month when my soon to be ex wife pays no bills other than a car payment and cell phone bill. Her house and land were given to her by her parents and they pay all the other bills as well my daughter does not go to daycare, shes stays with my soon to be exes mother. The current math is just wrong, no child 7 months old cost $1400 a month.

Child suupport is current but I got stuck with a $15,000.00 contempt judgement because I could make it to court. I live five hours from the court, I just found a part time job and couldnt take off but every thing they asked for I sent yet I am still held in contempt. Today I am about to be homeless with a 6 yr old because the State of Texas refuse to lessen the load on me.

    my ex came to me some 9 years ago and said she and her new husband didn't need all the child support money I was paying... at the time, I had lost my job and was getting ready to go in and file an amendment to the child support. but since she came to me saying they only needed a quarter of the support, I was more than happy to oblige. well, now some 9 years later, she files a claim stating I haven't been paying in full... and now I have a $45k bill with $20k in interest. Even though I have paid every month and when ever she asked for more, I gave it, 9 years later she decides I haven't paid enough and now I'm responsible for it. its just messed up.. if she waited, she should lose too... and things should start from the recent filing. The system isn't even trying to work right.

    All Child Support laws should reflect every aspect of the individual situation. Taking into account for both the mother and the fathers income as well as the days per year spent with the children. Custodial parent should always be held responsible to a fulltime income in the ratio as well. It is unjust to allow a mother or father to sit at home collecting money from the other parent when they are fully capable of working. The child support is there to help with the cost of raising a child including daycare expenses making there no excuses to not work. If a custodial agreement is split physically 50/50, why in the world is one parent still responsible for paying the other a mass amount of money each month. Please do something Congress! Catch the rules and regulations up with the times!

    I have my children half of the time and just as much as the mother. The money was never the biggest issue to me, rather then actually being actively involved in my children's lives and being just as responsible. Unfortunately the courts still see it fit to charge me a tremendous amount of money on top of all the benefits that I Provide for my children healthcare wise. Not to mention they spend half of the month with me every month and I want to be able to provide them with just as much but I cannot due to such a significant lose in my income. Even though the kids mother makes a lot less then me, she actually almost makes just as much if not more then I do now because of this unfair balance. She works full time and has half the financial responsibility as I do. The most important thing to mention and warrants repeating is that I have my children in my custody half of the time.

    I am charged child support for a child that I never took a DNA test for. I wouldn't have a problem with this situation if a DNA test could have be been an option but it wasn't. To add insult to injury, when I did find out about the child, I requested a DNA test. But I was told by the county that my response was to late. If the child's mother and I were faithful to each I wouldn't have a doubt. But two other guys were involved as well. I have a child support debt that I can do nothing about and was told by an attorney that there was nothing that could be done about this situation because at this point whether or not the child is mine I will be required to pay this debt. Because of this debt my credit score has been low and I have been denied employment for which I was qualified. I can truly say, that not all men are dead beat fathers, but how will anyone know when the scale of justice is not balanced.

    I had no problem paying child support to my ex when our daughter was born and she lived on her own. However I now find myself giving her money even though we have equal time with our daughter, and she now has a household income twice of what mine is now that she is married. She now does not have the financial obligations I do as a single parent. I do not share my bills with anyone, I provide for my daughter when I have her, and she gets tax free money from me every week, even though she has said she does not need if. Current child support law need to be updated, as she should not benefit from lack of a financial burden, while I am punished financially for her decision to leave. Our daughter still comes to my house with clothes that are too small, while she is free to purchase new vehicles and take expensive vacations.
