I feel the child support laws need to be re-evaluated. These laws have been in affect for way to long with out change. I dont see how anyone can survive when they have to pay child support and 67% of medical bills. We are in struggling times right now and theres been a lot of changes going on in the world but yet the fathers/mothers who have to pay child support struggle everyday just to make enough for a home and food. I think something should be done.REPORT COMMENTS

These laws are extremely outdated! Why should a Father have to pay a demanded 20% support and put himself in debt when he also has to provide a roof/food/clothing/extra curricular activities/car/gas for our children when we have visitation and the mother makes JUST as much if not MORE than their father?? Please explain how this is just.REPORT COMMENTS

We have 50/50 custody and pay child support and medical. My husband was fine with that but what he's not fine with is when I finds a better job to better our lives she is now entitled to more money. She is just as capable of finding a better job herself.REPORT COMMENTS

On top of all that, how can a man who is trying to provide for his children driving trucks gets his license taken where he can no longer provide for his kids because he lost his job due to suspended license... It's set up for failure.REPORT COMMENTS

I completely agree to this. There should be rules for both parents involving financial support. Does it seem fair to put the noncustodial parent in debt while she/he has many children from different men/women??? They don't consider the family size of the noncustodial parent or their bills not able to get a home or travel to see the child bc of financial hardship. Yet other person just sits there collecting child support while having other babies.REPORT COMMENTS

I think child support is so unfair... My husband pays his ex $1000 a month for two kids . At the time if the divorce they were 5 & 7. Now they are 12 & 14. But here is the killer. Per divorce decree we are suppose to have the kids for the whole month of July. And the ex who works and is remarried with a big house, gets to keep the child support for that month! Now how unfair is that? So in the mean time we are suppose to support the kids financially while handing over the grand for that month. My question to you all is how are we suppose to pay for camps and or some sort of child care while in our possession for that month? We don't keep them every July Because we cannot afford too! But we still get them for two extra weeks on top of our normal visits . It's all we can afford! And at those times my husband is taking off work so he can be with them! We both work. And also on top of that she moved still in the same county but 40 miles away. So we have to do all the driving. And when they have sports or school events we drive a total of 4-8 times back and forth. Again more money we have to keep dishing out on top of child support and medical and dental insurance on top of the grand. And split all medical and dental and vision costs. Those kids have glasses , soon braces and are always going to the doctor for something. I just don't understand!REPORT COMMENTS

My husband is paying two orders for kids that aren't his to his ex- wife and girlfriend and they are leaving him desolate. The kids are all adults and he's paying for one child she never raised and we raised the other two. He's paying way more than he should while she is and was on drugs and the other one getting support for a kid that's not his. A judge in Wisconsin said he's paying because he got re married and moved to Arizona. Please stop this! I a as a single parent who didn't get support but an honest Christian man who works hard everyday gets railroaded because he refused to be a black man in the system. Help!REPORT COMMENTS

In Louisiana there is a new Law for victims of domestic violence. You can get an immediate free divorce and Spousal Support is Mandated in divorces where the woman suffered abuse in the marriage. Save all of your proof of the abuse like protective order records, police reports, court records, papers from court proving he was ordered by a judge to attend battered intervention classes. Bring all of these with you to your divorce because Family court is unlikely to believe you without these papers of proof. Bring all your proof to divorce court.REPORT COMMENTS

In some circumstances the women had to divorce the man due to severe Physical, verbal and emotional abuse which leaves his victims with ptsd sometimes and sometimes severe panic attacks and anxiety from years upon years of abuse of unrelenting abuse, threats, violence. In these circumstances both the children and mother are emotionally unstable and need adequate time and sometimes medication to recover from the severe abuse.REPORT COMMENTS

My children's mother doesn't work, doesn't go to school, doesn't do a damn thing. Never has, prob never will. Yet she has a new car, new phone, new clothes, yet my children come to me with the same shoes, clothes etc. I wish there was a law similar to how food stamps work, where everything is itemized and can only be spent on things the children need. Cause I simply do not see where the money goes. And when my son says his mom said karate practice is too expensive. Yet she has no Billls, no rent, no financial obligations whatsoever. It baffles me where $1000 a month for 2 kids goes to. I did the math. I pay her the salary of someone working 40hrs a week at $10 an hour. Congress help.REPORT COMMENTS

The fathers have it bad. However, my issue with Nevada child support is that they do not disburse the payments as they receive them. With no arrears and no money to be paid back to the state, how dare they stick their stinky government hand in the child support cookie jar. Too many fathers work their behinds off to support their own child just so a state welfare doesn't have to. Child support in america is a conspiracy theory. Designed to keep the interest of the state officials at the forefront, not the people. Better check your child support records yourself. This broke Nation will squeeze money out of a newborn like a baby is a price tag to them. THE GREED OF THIS NATION. stealing child support or not correcting disbursement issues. (Processing and payroll are human errors in a manipulated system) never believe the amount that is told to you. Request the paperwork and see for yourselves.REPORT COMMENTS

Yes children need to be well takin care of but the laws are completely unfair, I pay child support for my son every month while my ex literally does nothing but playes on her computer! She has even told them that she has never in her life time been employed but they didn't seem like that mattered in any way at all. But that's not the worst part, I have my son from tuesday till Friday and her mother has him on weekends. The mother only has him on Mondays and that's not always sometimes ill even get him on Mondays. I love having my son more then anything but I know the money goes to get cell phone bill and her boyfriends drugs. I just think that child support needs to be looked at a little more.REPORT COMMENTS
