I am a non-custodial father.Child support is highway robbery. No one cares. It's a racket run by the state governments and lawyers! I pay 64% of my NET income to two mothers, while they deny me visitation on a consitant basis threatening me to take me back to court for more money. I'm a prisoner without bars. These judges, magistrates or whatever clown desides my economic future are clueless. It's a mess! -

Gross income should not be used to determine child support like it is in Minnesota this is so unfair. It should be what you actually take home. Mothers should not be excused from working more hours because they are full-time students (my sons mom) is full time student yet only goes to school 1 day a week yet gets away with working 20 hours or less while I have to work 38 in order to support her spending habits. Mothers spending habits should be a factor when it comes to determining child support bank accounts should be used and turned over to the court by both parties. So many mothers take advantage and dont even use the money to support the child so why are we made and forced to pay something which is labled as "child support" when it is not spent to support the childREPORT COMMENTS

My son is 19 goes to college works full time makes almost the same amount of money that I do and I still have to pay, his mother makes twice the amount of money that I make. It's BS. If he can work and make money than I should at least be able to lower my payment.REPORT COMMENTS

lazy is not an excuse to not support your children. Men suffer legal bias and when they finally win in court they deserve child support!REPORT COMMENTS

At the very least the custodial parent should have to show - with receipts- what they are spending that child support on. To prove that it's going to the child and not theirself...AND show how much they are spending on the child, afterall it is supposed to be "fair." HA!REPORT COMMENTS

My son moved in with me and I hired an attorney to change custody and child support. The judge granted the custody but did not modify the child support. I have paid lawyer fees and numerous court hearings but ended up paying his mother for over a year while he was living with me because the CSE kept giving me the runaround. In one recent hearing their attorney told the magistrate they would refund the money if a judge would sign the paper. Well, the judge signed it but CSE will not refund it because the mother currently has a minor living with her. I don't know where to turn but I have had over $4,000.00 stolen from me and the legal system continues to show "mom" all the favor and discriminate against "dad".REPORT COMMENTS

It's time to re-think family, and the way our system, Hi-jacks a mans pay. I am for giving my kids the best life and seeing that they live properly. It's a tough economy and women are not always the victims, and the opportunities for women are ever more abundant. Change this Backwoods law now!REPORT COMMENTS

As i pay over 5K a year for my son plus health ins.And yet when i pick him up for our weekend visit which is only twice a month i see i have to still feed him ,buy him shoes and clothes .And yet his mother and her husband live with grandma and have a new car.And my son lives and sleeps in the basement.Which is against current building codes and fire.I see she has a new car.And yet only works enough hours to fly under the Government radar so as to stay below the poverty line so she can get all the free help she can.The laws are totally unfair to men.REPORT COMMENTS

The travesty of justice that the family courts (nationwide) allow is a shame and a mockery! I am a mother myself; yet I cannot help but see the abuse that mothers hold against fathers in matters of child support and child visitation. Women use their children as pawns to hurt their ex-husbands, as well as to gain financially from them and this is not right. Fathers should support their children by all means but not by giving money to the mother directly: they should support them by buying groceries for them, buying clothing for them, etc. In this way, the child is not deprived of his needs but at the same time the mother is prevented from viewing her child as a golden egg.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support is not made to pull families closer they seem to be made to tear them apart.I don't mind taking care of my kids, but its not fare for a father that has been there for his kids to go to college get a good job and bring home less than someone working at a fast food joint part time. Where is the justice? Why isn't there automatic joint custody? How can I afford a lawyer when child support takes it all? Why aren't there more there help with affidavits?REPORT COMMENTS

My husband's ex has a masters degree and has worked only temporarily. His child support was just increased from $560 to $1710 for one child. I bet she is living the life and she is on welfare. How fair is the system. I make pretty close to what she is getting and I work full-time and provide for the children I brought into this world. It should be 50-50 for both parents. They both made the child they should both be held responsible not all on just one parent.REPORT COMMENTS
