    my 3.5yr old step daughter by marriage is not being taken care of by the child's "mother" who is the custodial parent per Texas laws. This custodial parent receives +$900 per month in support and the minor child weighs over 65lbs. How can this child's medicaid doctor's and other care givers NOT be filing complaints regarding the type of care this child is receiving? Better question, how can my husband, who only is able to see the child once or twice a month start filing complaints to get this child out of her (lack of) care? Review these laws and clean out the OAG's offices to get this backwards poor system changed so children are not harmed.

    1. A Non-Custodial parent is a second class citizen and is unconstititional. 2. Child Support is Slavery and unconstitutional. 3. Parenting (legal & physical) is an alienable right and protected by the U.S. Constitution. 4. I want my Constitutional rights protected!!!!

    These laws prevent responsible fathers from upkeeping with support for their children and moving on with there lives. I say 50/50 is fair if one parent cannot provide 50% then children should not be court ordered to live with that parent. How is it that the parent with the kids live in new homes, have brand new cars and go on multiple vacations a year yet non custodial parent falls in arrears and cant pay bills. THE LAW NEEDS CHANGING!!!!!!! ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!FIX IT PLEASE!!!!!

    I married a man that has two children from a previous relationship. We have been married for 10 years and have had two children (6 and 3 years old) Not only does his ex collect a check from my husband, she works and so does her current husband. How is it fair that OUR children mean any less?? The courts would have you think that child support supports the children--but this only means the ones from the first marriage. God forbid that I were to die. While my husbands ex collects 3 separate salaries, drives a car I will never afford, lives in a home I couldn't kids would starve and have no where to live if it were not for my income. Someone help these men out. There are obviously women who are targeting men for this purpose and then these men are left with no life after them, making so little from their salary that they can't even live off of what is left. Something must be done to make this fair.

    Att hollis NY i tried singhin the petition. I dont use facebook. I think its an open door to the hateful stalker Xs to use to pry into the lives of the one they wish they Still had. Maybe see more results n signitures if wasnt threw facebook. Ps i think its not a vary good idea to have them show receipts of expences. It will impower IT! More. That will give the X more power granted by the welfare to basicaly have an open check. The infadel is cunning n will find some one to buy our childs new 190$ jordans for less than 1/2 price. So it will win twice. First It will get paid for the receipt It can show then frosty the dopeman will probly hook her up wit a fitty All at our expence. The welfare is what impowers the X. Make one dollar amount per child for each month n thats it The more i make the more the welfare takes. Kidd$$$$$$$. They call us dads deadbeat, Deadbeat is the one nesting at ITs childs expance Change the welfare

    My wife filed for a divorce in a state she was in for only 3 months. The Missouri law states she must be a resident for a year to file for divorce in that state. She is keeping my daughter from seeing or talking to me, meanwhile, the state is taking 50% before taxes, of my $12 an hour tech support job. I cannot make ends meet. I have zero assets and cannot afford representation. Life has literally lost all meaning. How can I go on as a person on 4.50 an hour? Meanwhile my x-wife has a brand new home, brand new mustang convertible, and a live in boyfriend and her have a combined income of 90,000 year, before my money is added to that pile. THIS IS CORRUPTION! REFORM THESE LAWS NOW!

    My husband has 2 children. The American government does not take into account the effect it take on Men after tax has been taking out. I believe in equality and this child support law is unfair. Please help stop women from being bitter and talk about the actual expense of the child/children.

    I'm going through the same crap as a single mother retired disabled veteran trying to get my child from my child's father's mother who has no custody yet I'm paying child support to her and I want my child being denied visitation yet its court ordered. Shame on the state of Arkansas.

    Very unfair system for the non custodial parent...please help the families that are struggling. If the court may look into the REALITY of a families situation and not base it on a standard set of laws..this would help.

    If a father has to choose to eat and not be homeless or pay his child support because it takes everything he makes, is it fair to put him in jail rather than to work with him because hes not a deadbeat dad he just needs a home and food. I think its a shame that instead of working with dads who do want to help take care of their kids you would rather have them go to jail because they really do have to choose to eat or not. Somethings wrong with this, what good does it do anyone if you put him in jail? Why not come to some type of agreement that is affordable. The way things are there is no hope for dads. What ever happend to justice!!
