    My husband pays child support to a women who refuses to get a job. Whenever we have the children for visits, we end up buying them new clothes and shoes because the ones they have don't fit and are two to three sizes smaller. She got evicted from her apartment and was living in a basement because my husband got out of the military and didn't have a job right away( shes blamed my husband for this) and of course child support was her only source of income. This psycho get almost $900 a month in child support and somehow the kids tell us they go shopping at a thrift store for clothes and shoes. But she refuses to let us have the kids live with us even though we've told her we don't even want child support from her. The kids have even stated they want to live here. We want the kids to have a good life. She told my husband, " if you have kids with me then you have to pay for them." oh, and she has a husband who went AWOL from the Army and does not have a job. Something needs to be done. I was a single mother before I met my husband and have NEVER received child support but I worked hard and made sure my kids got what they needed. All women should take responsibility for their children and not depend on child support or the welfare system to take care of them. What kind of role model is that? I hope something is done.

    The courts are completely biased to the mothers, unfairly and automatically deeming all fathers as "dead-beat" dads. It's time there was a change in the system to fairly judge the cost of living, regulate and monitor those receiving benefits (including all forms of government assistance), and put "family" back into "family law". And the formulas they are using to calculate how much one parent pays the other for "support" of the child severly needs to be reevaluated- they don't take all aspects of life and circumstances into considerations. That formula, or lack thereof, is prime proof and evidence that this system is only corrupted, but also is failing to allow for freedom and justice for all parties involved.

    Archaic, Liberal laws that support slovenly and unmotivated ex spouses maintain a "standard of living" must be abolished. Support for one's children is not the issue as there is a direct difference between "Court directed support" and "Fiscal Punishment" after a marriage fails.
