JOIN FREE: Federal Class Action for U.S. Child Custody Victims - Friends, I just joined CAPRA as one of the lead plaintiffs in an upcoming landmark federal class action lawsuit against all 50 States and the Federal Government, because I qualify as: (1) a biological parent whose child custody was unconstitutionally removed without due process; and, (2) I have been directly impacted by that during the last four years, i.e., within the statute of limitations. This class action is on behalf of *both* types of "family court" -- for wrongful victims of divorce-and-similar-with-kids *and* for wrongful victims of child protection services -- and includes suing on behalf of ANY parent affected by either "family court" type. It's totally free to join, and the federal court relief being demanded includes the full restoral of my child custody rights under law, plus a nice share of the large amount in civil damages expected. Check it out! It just requires entering someone's referral Code to join, so PLEASE use mine - 42085JL619 - in the CAPRA registration form, located on the bottom of the homepage at http://parentalrightsclassaction.com Plus, check out their power-packed Legal Tips page for all parents fighting family court, too -- Wow!! Thanks!!REPORT COMMENTS

About to file bankruptcy just because of Child Support most times I don't even want to work a regular job just because of Child Support I'm paying over 10,000 in back support they took my drivers license so now I'm on a restricted perment that means my income is restricted as well I can't apply for a house can't buy a new car and it's even harder for me to take care of the children that actually live with me my restricted perment will expire soon and I'll have to jump through even more hoops to get another one... In the state of Illinois the lowest you can pay for child support is $50 a week since I'm paying back support that's $72 a week at the end of 52 weeks or 12 months that's a little over $3,000 a year but with the worst of Interest it's literally rules right back over not to mention the state and federal taxes and insurance that comes out your check each week I don't even get to see my child or know where she is at due to the fact that her mother constantly moves from place to place she lives on Section 8 she only works about 6 months out the year and then quits her job so that the government won't catch up with hherand then go's on unemployment why type of example dose this set for my daughter that's it's ok to live by the mail box I do the best I can for my family but it's not enough.... The needs of the many outweigh the few I don't see you I'm not around you i have no contact with you then what do you need from me I have other children that I see and that live with me that could actually use that money....

First I'd like to say it's not just woman who set on their butt. I have 3 girls and was married for ten years. I endured years of physical and mental abuse. I worked 3 jobs while he played the mom roll. His income was SSI disability and before you say anything my kids can't draw a check it's not the same disability. After separating I begged him to help but nothing. I took it to court and started receiving support (didn't last long). I felt sorry for him on numerous occasions cause he would say he didn't have anything left after paying me so I said keep some. Later I found out he lied about not having money. I caught him working while being on the draw. Someone reported him so he lost his check. He quit coming around so I new something was up and went back to court only to find out he was back on the check. I couldn't get anything cause they don't garnish or take from a person that draws ssi. He is married now and has 2 kids one belongs to his ex. He filed for custody and child support against the ex guess what he now receives child support. How is that fair? I get NOTHING Next time don't point fingers at just one race. Some woman are just as bad as the dads EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!! I want stop trying to get the law changed.REPORT COMMENTS

I live in Texas and half of my paycheck is taken to pay child support. After taxes and commuting expenses, I am left with less than $1000 per month to support my three children that live at home with me. Don't my children living with me also deserve support from their father? My ex-wife is a nurse, has a working husband, and gets half my paycheck while my new wife and children live in poverty. I even had my support reevaluated to account for my new children and ex-wife's household income and they actually raised it on me! This system is severely messed up and something needs to change!REPORT COMMENTS

There is a very serious double standard that prevails in this country. Women want to be viewed as equals and earn equal pay, but when it comes to child support they want to be viewed as the victim and the one less capable financially. This is the view currently held be the court system and this view punishes the male for being male. It allows women the opportunity to get paid for breaking up the family and to double dip by remarrying and getting 50% access to that financial arrangement without having to declare their 50% interest in their new community as part of the monies they have access to that can be used to take care of the children. It victimizes the males current spouse by taking all his earnings and viewing them as income to to be used in accessing support with disregard to the community interest of the current spouse. It often allows the mother to alienate the children from the father without any repercussions while still gathering financial assistance from him. This is morally and ethically wrong. Child support and child rearing should be intrinsically linked. Neither parent should be denied their right to raise their child/children and neither should be favored by the courts or the child support agencies. There would be limited need for any government interference if each parent had 50% responsibility and each parent had the obligation to take care of the children independently of the resources of the other parent during their custodial time.The amount that the CSED/court states is essential for raising a child is disproportionately excessive and this amount is not a standard that none divided households are obligated to spend on their children weekly , monthly and yearly. Government has stuck it's nose where" We the people" do not want it to be and is creating far worse situations . CSED/family court is a RICO which is used to extort money from innocent parties to fund this same organized crime ring and keep it growing and thriving.. I know I have used women as the main party responsible in aiding the government in their fraudulent Child support scheme ,but I do readily admit that men are also able to use this system to their advantage, but far less frequently. It matters not who is raping whom financially what matters is that it is criminal in nature and must cease and desist.REPORT COMMENTS

When the father is paying MORE than the court ordered amount, and the interest rate DOUBLES the total amount, then something is WRONG. My husband has paid way more than his court ordered amount, but the greedy state of Texas still wants the "interest" aka their money. This has become just another way for the government to take the little person's money, and then turn around and advertise it as "in the child's best interest".REPORT COMMENTS

So much needs to change about the child support laws. I am the custodial parent and never received child support because my ex was approved for SSI. However, I see everyday how the Non Custodial parent is taken for a ride of their life! Usually because they have a jaded ex that uses the kids as a pawn. Our so called Justice system needs to acknowledge that not all Mother's tell the truth and not all Father's are liars.REPORT COMMENTS

After the court garnishes an absurd amount of support every week, there is little left. So little I had a choice, be homeless or move back in with family. The Friend of The Court is the most miserable, god forsaken, family destroying place I have ever dealt with. They bilk you for every last dollar because they skim off the top to pay their salaries. The corrupt government then matches the amount they skim dollar for dollar. We need change, and not the false change provided by the bozo in the White House.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband left his wife and children after 10 years due to constant verbal abuse when he arrived home from work. The courts in California awarded 3/4s of his salary to his wife every month for several years until he fell off a roof and broke both feet. He spent 2 years in a wheel chair and because he failed to tell them he would miss 2 payments, they added a further $7,000 in interest.payments. Having refused to negotiate he stopped paying altogether. Then the courts forced him to pay $200 a month out of his social security check. It has taken him 7 years to find a job and now that he is able to work again the courts have helped themselves to $880 a month out of his pay check leaving him without enough for car insurance after rent and all other expenses. His children are in their late 30s. The system is screwed.REPORT COMMENTS

Mother of two. Very proud mother of an autistic son. After borrowing from everyone I knew I lost custody because I couldn't fight the endless funds that thier Father and his family have. We shared all responsibilities throughout the proceedings right down the middle and when it was finally over, I had a balance due for child support!! The worst part is the ALIENATION of my children. Autism is difficult all by itself and when you have a father incouraging alienation of a disabled child...against his MOTHER..wow. I'll never be able to RECOVER him NOT ALL NON CUSTODIAL PARENTS are scumbags...SOME TRULY have been FAILED by the system.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband had his child, my stepson, more than 70% of the time because his ex was never around! He would still give her cash whenever she needed anything and I would give her cash whenever she needed anything. I have been with him since my stepson was 4 months old (they split up during pregnancy) so I know that this is all true as I was there for it. When she took him to court she lied about the time we spent with stepson, she lied about how much money she made (saying she makes less than 8 dollars and hour when she makes almost 15), she lied about us sending her money, she lied about EVERYTHING. And my husband NEVER GOT TO SEE A JUDGE. He was told, "You have to sign this, Mother's are always granted custodial rights at birth in Oklahoma." He had proof of her receiving money from him. Proof of her making threats to him and stalking him. Proof of him having my stepson 75% of the time. everything. They wouldn't look at it and wouldn't let him show it to a judge. I also want to point out that we paid almost 15,000 dollars to his lawyer by the time her lawyer got done dragging us around and pushing back meetings. Her lawyer was issued free because she's the mother. So not only do they start charging him an exorbitant amount of money, so much so that we lost our house and had to move in with family, but they also decided he owed back child support somehow, which is an extra 100 dollars a month on his support. We have sent countless letters asking them to reevaluate the support so they will look at her income statements and see we are being hosed, but nothing has changed. In fact I paid off the back child support in full last December and he is still having that extra 100 dollars added to the child support he pays. I don't know how that makes any sense. And the worst part is that they decided not only will we pay this crazy amount of support, but also we only have the legal right to see my stepson 1 day a week now, where we had him 5 days a week before. We were devastated. There was no accusations of him being mistreated or anything. Our house was clean and the one we moved into later is even nicer and Stepson has his own bedroom and a huge fenced in yard. But she asked for it and they gave it to her. She doesn't even watch him. She picked the day we get him to line up with her day off. He ends up shuffled off to babysitters all week while she runs off to party and take road trips. She doesn't want him she just wants that juicy check. It's so disgusting. This can't be right.REPORT COMMENTS

The system is undoubtedly corrupt and that's an understatement! After 800$ a month child support and my budget for bills, none of which are unnecessary I don't even have a cable bill im left with $130 a week to split up between groceries, gas for work (almost 100 miles round trip) and preparing for a baby, soon to be diapers and formula and anything my step son might need. God forbid i need any vehicle repairs. I make 25$ an hour and qualify for food stamps because of this but I can't bring myself to do that. There is very little difference in bills with kids or without kids it doesn't cost but maybe a few hundred $ a month to raise a kid unless u need child care. In my case the mother chooses child care when my sister would love to have that time with my daughter. I live 800 miles away but she lives very close and my nieces go to same school. The idea that the more a parent makes the more they should spend on their children is absolutely rediculous and irresponsible! Any responsible adult is gonna save $ and not live from paycheck to paycheck. You need money for emergencies or anything else unexpected. If my kid wants to go to college she better hope her mom will pay or she gets a scholarship cuz I couldn't afford to send her and it's so depressing. I wonder how many fathers are in prison and mothers are killed over this rediculous******every year. I know the thought has crossed my mind but I could never do something like that. Also how is a parents medical insurance not deducted from income when it is no longer an optional thing if I don't have it i get a fine thanks obama! Or student loans? If I don't pay those they will deduct it from my pay as well. AMERICA! Land of the free for the people in power and uniform!!REPORT COMMENTS
