    I'm on both sides of child support system. My son and daughter that live with me and for 5 years I've been trying to get child support from their DEADBEAT egg donor for over 5 years and still no court date.I've paid over $20,000 dollars in the last 6 years in back support for back when I still didn't see my daughter which is 14 and I have not seen in 8 years.Child support was never set to what I made just what the court felt I could make and they have denied my right to have it modified to what I really made.Plain and simple extortion.Oh and 3 of the 6 years I was going to college.Sad thing is I was extorted out of my daughters life by the courts to give up seeking visitation to stop the current support of which I could not afford.Sure I could seek visitation but at what cost an outrages support payment I could never afford and go to jail and abandon the family I have now and have had for over 10 years.Wood County Ohio has a great way of alienating fathers from their children and denying my civil rights as a father and a human being.

    My husband is serving a life sentence because he couldn't keep up with the outrageous payments assigned to his case. Both of his children are now over 18 - his ex-wife DOESN'T WORK - but because he's in arrears, she gets to sit comfy for the rest of her life. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be able to eat. The laws need to be changed - NOW.

    The Mothers of the children need to support the children as well as the fathers. My children are in school, I pay child support and after school care however my X has a parttime job. So her income doesn't account for much support of the children. I am told taht the reason I have to pay for the afer care is because she is searching for a fulltime job. But sher's been searching for 8 years?

The wholesystem is******and trickles from the top.....White House anything run by gov is shit. I'm emberassed of our government. I wish I was an illegal so I could sit on my*****too but I'm one of the ones who add to the pot..... not one of the takers.

    They set people to go to jail to make money if you can't find a job they send you to jail which is just stupid because you still have to find a job when you get out of jail

    Recent break up and case. When the little one was born, we had to feed him formula because he would not consume the breast milk. Prior to the separation, I bathed, fed, played, loved him, and attend to him when he cried just as she did, yet, she still got custody over him, and I got screwed with paying a pretty penny for child support. I sometimes ponder, what?s the difference of a man doing the same job as raising a child when having full custody of them? Now she lives with her parents and I have to pay $650/month for one child and I strongly know that all that money will not be going to my son. Because of her ignorance and one of the causes of our separation, she had always complained that she didn?t like her job. I helped her find jobs that would be compatible with her, but did not take it. Thus, I found her a work at home job that was related to her field and the pay was way better than what she was making, she did not take advantage of it. It's a ridiculous amount of CS I have to pay for her to sit at home a leech off of me. I love my son and will do anything for him, but I strongly believe the system is either blind or purposely does not care that us guys who are responsible have expenses to payoff, wants, and lives to fulfill.

    Recent break up here and she eventually lives with her parents. I have to pay $650/month for one child and I know all that money is not going to go to my son. It's a ridiculous amount of CS I have to pay. The justice system only favors the mother?s end. I sometimes ponder too myself, what?s the difference of a man doing the same job as raising a child when having full custody of them? Prior to the separation, I bathed, fed, played, and loved him just as she did, yet, she still got custody over him, and I got screwed with paying a pretty penny for child support.

    Mother's should have to prove that every cent of child support goes to the child. We all know that not all of the money always goes to the child. It isn't fair.

    State of Florida has screwed my life up! Paying twice as much as I should, but they won't modify it. They tell me to get a lawyer. If I could afford to pay a lawyer, I could pay my child support. Last time they put me in jail, support was coming out of my checks. Someone needs to do something

    You know the system is screwed up when 35% of the "primary breadwinner's" income goes to 1 child (family of 7). As with many mothers, the child is a teen but mom doesn't work. We are a combined family, and I RECEIVE NOTHING for my 2 children. Together we have 5 children, and we are the ONLY ones supporting any of them. How can they take 35% of our income for 1, and give us nothing for 2? I will tell you how. Honest and hardworking, you will pay for it. If you evade child support, work under the table, or sit on your butt and do nothing, you WIN!!!! I would love to stay home with my kids, but hey, I have to do everyone else's job (after all, that is what my husband works for) AND my own. My toddlers need me at home much more than the teenager does. The best part was when Child support told me that if the father can hide for 3 years they will do nothing to help anymore.

    My ex husband is self employed and lies about his income. In Alabama, you do NOT show your income tax returns. You turn in an Affidavit with check stubs! This is not real proof for a person who is self employed. Every state should have to turn in income tax returns or there is too much room for error/lies. I am employed and my check stubs will be accurate. This is not fair or just, esp when your ex has prooven to lie in the past about his/her income by 75% less compaired to his past income tax returns. New laws needed in Al.
