I have split physical custody with my daughters mother and I have to pay full child support. She makes over $60,000 and just because I make more she's entitled like if she didn't have a job. I have 3 other children and it's hard on me. The Law needs to change.REPORT COMMENTS

I recently took my ex to court because she would not let me see my 2 year old daughter and had cut off all communication. She lives with her boyfriend and his parents. She pays no bills. I have my own 2 bedroom apartment and it's just me paying all the bills. DHR has ordered me to pay $450 a month child support, that's how much I pay for rent so now I can't afford my rent. I am now about to be homeless unless I get a 2nd full time job. Which would mean I'd have to give up the time with my little girl I fought so hard to get. I also pay for my little girl to have insurance. I offered to pay $50 a week and they laughed at me. What I don't understand is why you can't add in housing and utilities cost...those are things you can't do without. Something has to be done ASAP!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I am a father of my beutifull 11 year old daughter who i adore. when my wife decided to split via text while i was at work my world fell apart. After lmost a year of not being allowed to pay child support (waiting for courts to decide on amounts) i was hit with automatic 3k in back support. i moved an hour away and i constantly have my daughter for visitation. i went from living in a 3 bed 2 bath house and good job to being forced to live in a travel trailer in an rv park, this is while she has a business she works out of home as a childcare provider. she make 5-600 a child per month and has 10...do that math. i make 15 dollars an hour at a job that does not provide overtime. i cannot keep my head above water nor my sanity intact. I raised my step son from 3 to 16 and we got a whopping 130 a month for him from his father (an actual deadbeat day) and i pay out over 500 plus med bills and insurance i have to pay. on top he fly around for frieds grad parties vacations she pays for herself and 3 others including my daughter. and has nails done hair done new car..the list goes on...why is it equal rights are not equal? i dont mind paying but somone who makes that kinda money killing me financially for years ruins my chances to have a life, who want a broke man who cant afford to go anywhere or do anything. i fully support my child and assisting in her care and expenses, but i am sinking and depressed and literally only reason im alive now...wow what a surprise my daughter is my only light in life. i cant move i can do anything to fix. people say get a lawyer her guess what DADS ARE BROKE THEY PAY UNGODLY CHILD SUPPORT. now not all mothers are greedy individuals as mine is nor are all fathers deadbeats but wht i do know diffinitivly OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE MOTHER/FATHER/ SUPPORT ISSUES ARE A JOKE. they were designed when females didn't work like they do now...lets get out of the 50's and move into this decade and millennium please...NO REALLY I AND SOOOO MANY OTHER GOOD FATHERS BEG YOU!REPORT COMMENTS

I've have two kids 8 years apart from different mothers and I pay 17.5% per child since my youngest son turned 2. When my youngest mother and I split I had to start paying as much as a person with 3 kids from the same mother. My youngest mother makes more money than me and I have to pay all of the insurance as well. Does do either one of them save one penny for my sons (no), do the mothers have to account for a dime that is spent (no), does the father get any tax right off or anything (no), do I still have to pay for everything when they are in my care(yes). I still get asked by the mothers to help out with all types of things money wise and I also get stuck with unpaid medical bills the mother don't pay because some how they just expect me to do it. Some of the money I pay should be set aside for the kids because they both go to public schools and there mothers have not financial obligation regardless of how much money they make to their kids. In today's society with all the equal right for woman equal pay and the fact that families now are mainly two incomes the sexist laws that once prevailed need to be changed. When a mother makes more than the father and the father is obligated to pay insurance regardless if he has the kids full time or not something is wrong. Even with a decent pay taking 35% off the top after taxes is life changing in a bad way. The state takes money and it's always the maximum amount regardless of how much or little the mother makes. It's not about the welfare of the child it's about how much the state can collect and then give to the mother. They more the state gets the more the state gets paid and that is not in the best interest of the child. It causes strife, struggle, tension, and abuse.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support has become the new private income for state employees the jails are now privately owned in Florida by vanguard and Geo in 2013/2014 Florida incarcerated 250,000 people for unpaid child support jails get 100.00 a day for an inmate. Easy money for state corporation to put money into fsr Florida state retirement system. Judges or mashes treated are paid to hear cases .if you don't have money to fight in the court of law you are hit with the silver bullet. This is my story . I sat down with me ex explained that I need to go to college full time to obtain a fire science degree and ems degree. She agreed and being a nurse practitioner and her new husband a pulmonary doctor said your son isn't in need so go for it 4 years went by I achieved my degrees. I had the opportunity as a new hire for the pmrf as a battalion chief for the DOD . In Hawaii . For my 508 clearance a flag came up for a suspended dl. Flew home to see my son for his birthday went to find out about my dl at the court house and was surrounded by police and arrested ! No money to pay a burge I was sentenced for 180 days in jail! . I still can not get my license to drive . My paramedic license and all the college is just papers I now I have a dept that is inconceivable . They took my ability for any trade to do even cut grass . Even they laws state it's not to punish . They took all my rights to see talk or even send a card . They are now child experts.. I have no contact until my son is 19 wow . As I saw in jail inmates with crimes of drugs Sui . Theft served less time than me . No PD for civil only criminal . Welcome to America !

As the woman working in a man's world installing HVAC for your Anoka County and Minneapolis and being a single mother I am completely upset with my government. My son's father when on Social Security which I don't even know how he got because the four years we were together he never worked he pushed me to work and then abused me. My son receives not even enough to pay for his daycare from Social Security so pretty much my son's father has not been forced to be responsible one bit and that would be your fault. Like I said doing HVAC for your counties I sit on welfare because I'm not getting enough hours as I'm working in a house that is worth at least $500,000 and it's getting a free furnace. Try installing that furnace in that house without breaking down sobbing and tears because your government is ignoring you yet putting a freebie and this shit. Excuse me but if you own a $500,000 home and can't afford the furnace then sell the darn home what are you doing putting a free furnace using my tax money in this home???? I don't care if this house was inherited I don't care its a $500,000 house figure it out. I have watched landlords having their renters qualify for them to receive multiple furnaces for multiple properties and to tell you the truth these are slumlords and you are enabling them two house people with addictions. Yeah this hard-working mother is unable to take care of her child working her hands bloody???? You can't see the problem here???? Why are landlords who receive rental income getting multiple freebies and I'm not talking about just furnaces because I watch the insulators I watch then get free Windows I'm talking over 10 $20,000 worth of work for free and they have multiple property income. I'm forced on welfare when I'm not getting my hours because daddy gets to be a deadbeat and you allow it so I'm expecting the county to help me when I need it. Do you realize that most of the freebies I do for your counties 90% of those houses smell like reefer when I walk in not to mention the crack rock I found underneath the return air. You allow all these low-income people you're not even trying take advantage of County Medical and the funny part is most of the homes that I do install in should be condemned. Why do you put free stuff in a home that should be condemned and hazardous to People's Health? So now they need your free medical because they're living in a house that should be condemned do you understand where I'm getting. Hoarder houses that I can barely even walk into their so nasty. I understand some of those people cannot take care of their properties because of medical reasons but okay then instead of paying for free furnaces and stuff and a house that should be condemned and hazardous to People's Health, use that money to put them somewhere that isn't hazardous to your health I think that would be more sensible. I've watched the county do installs for example a space heater with new chimney and everything then they change theirREPORT COMMENTS

My son's father was ordered very little child support and it took forever to even get a first payment but then he got on Social Security and laughed in my face because now he doesn't even have to be responsible at all. My son's dad lives a mile down the road and has nothing to do with his son not because of me. He has three other children that were born before my son that he also has nothing to do with and they're from three different mothers. So yeah that guy goes around knocking people up and then feels he shouldn't be responsible and you let him. I don't agree with the other parent drowning because the other has custody so I agree with most of these guys who can't live. I'm a female doing HVAC which is dominated by males so with that said I work very hard to take care of my son and deserve some help. My line of work is seasonal and I end up laid off but still obligated to pay full price for daycare because daycares need a set schedule which I cannot give. I end up in daycare contracts that I cannot pay and really have no choice but to do it that way because I do have to go to work and Dad down the road like I said can't even babysit for me but then again he's a little mentally unstable and doesn't even want to be there so he can stay where he's at but I still should be getting some sort of financial help. I feel if the parent gets to sit on their*****and laugh in your face and do nothing then maybe the government should take over and help the parents it's actually trying to be a parent. It's almost like the government supports a deadbeat because that's exactly what is happening here in this case. I've been forced on welfare about every two years and my son is now 8. I get the runaround from the welfare office and have almost lost my house several times because the county can only help so much. Here's an example: I started a new job on the 10th of May of 2016 and was working almost my 40 hours like I said I Do seasonal work so on call. I'm trying so hard to impress my boss because I really need this job I've been working so hard but unfortunately we ran out of work and I was put on call. Just two weeks before knowing that my son would be out of school for the summer I signed him up for the summer daycare program which is a contract of so much per week. The first day I was laid off was the first day of my son's daycare so now I've been laid off for 3 weeks and did not even need the daycare but still obligated to pay it because it was a contract. I haven't gotten my unemployment straightened out yet so my son and I are sitting here with $0. I believe the daycare bill right now is at like $450 and I didn't even need it. As a hard-working mother this daycare thing has always been a knife slitting my throat. Pretty much the child support laws are completely twisted and messed up bad!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm a single mother of 3 children, and ex-husband who has a six figure job pays next to nothing for child support. He refuses to spend money on them while they are with him and tells his children he pays child support. I was a stay at home mother for almost 11 years raising our children. I'm struggling to find a full time job. State of Delaware states that they are for the children and children must live the life they are accustomed too. My children use to want for nothing and now living poor. So much for the state of Delaware acting on behalf of the child. It's not just men who suffer because they have to pay child support. Family court doesn't just screw the father, they screw mothers as well. I'm fighting for what's right for my children!REPORT COMMENTS

These laws need to be changed! I have no problem supporting my daughter but if the state is going to get invloved than it needs to get involved in a fair way. These laws do not protect my daughter but her mother. I pay child support for her yet the money i give is spent divided by the entire house hold. Thats not helping or benifiting my dauhter.

Child support is the most horrendous abuse of our legal system I have ever encountered. It is astounding how one sided the system is. I slept with a woman I was seeing for a few weeks. I slept with her only with the knowledge that she had become infertile due to previous health issues. I still insisted on a condom, I pulled out, and insisted on a day after pill. Low and behold, those previous health issues were absolute bull shit, and she refused all forms of birth control. She is now pursuing child support from me. This woman, whom chose not to go to college, is an alcoholic, a chain smoker, a compulsive liar, and a convicted felon. She is going to win (hands down, if you didn't know, child support is like rear ending someone, you're already guilty) her case and receive HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars from me and my family over the course of 18 years with zero oversight from anyone as to how she spends it. I came from a family that lost both jobs during the recession. We lost our house, and I had to leave at 17 to find work. I put myself through college through full time employment and extensive student loans. I have investigated the cost of child support - I simply cannot pay it. My student loans and other related debts are too overbearing and I simply don't make enough to cover it all. Forget about taking care of my parents in the next few years when they become unable - I need to pay for this woman's saving grace. This is ludicrous. This woman had my child without my consent and is rewarded for her deception. I am a completely unwilling participant in her ploy and am utterly helpless to do anything about it. The life that I have worked so hard to attain is being stolen from me so this woman can continue her alcoholism filled life all the while neglecting to give the child everything that it deserves. This is sick. Fix this. Fix it now because slavery is not what this country is about. Write me off as a deadbeat dad if you want. I never abandoned anything. I am being forced to pay thousands for a sperm donation I didn't consent to.REPORT COMMENTS

This is ridiculous, she has no job not doing a thing just sitting back everyday getting his hard earned money, even while the child is at daycare she chooses to stays home & while (father)he's working out in the hot Texas sun for 12hrs a day (oilfield work) paying way more than enough to 'support a child' these are laws are way to easy on the mothers!! I ABSOLUTELY think something should be done!! At the moment we are talking to lawyers, and willingly go to court to see if anything can be done! One year of struggling is enough!!

We need to re look at what's really going on with the bigger picture of this,first let me just say this much okay!! this is a move on behest of the feminist undermining,they got us thinking checker while they're playing chess. if a dad goes to jail for not paying what crime has he committed? while the states attorney and the judge is present and the defendant is poor,he should be appointed a attorney to represent him because this would be. like a trial setting.so what state law has been violated? none!ask for a trial of your peers,they have been reporting this on your credit when you didn't sign a contract for ex amount of any a p.r. nor payroll deductions.each state gets 25cents off each dollar that's received while the feminist left employees over sees your destruction as a man.theses woman are there for a cause (dhr workers ), and the women whom wants child support care less about the father child relationship or his survival. you're been punished thanks to the democrats such as beginning with the Clintons,Hillary right? whatever.they want the best of everything at men expense to reach to top,notice how when a male under a single parent househole get pushed to join the military or get a. c job when turning 18 while the female goes off to college. we are dumb like they want us to be while thinking outside the box. it should be call co-parenting pot,so that both parents are made to pay and not life support for the other parentsREPORT COMMENTS

My story is a little different, she was a one night stand that I refused to have anything but oral sex with unless she had protection . She told me she was on birth control and that I did not need a condom , I still refused , she then pulled out her own condom. A couple months later she said she was pregnate and that if I did not want anything to do with her and the child then she would never bother me. I offered to pay for a abortion she refused and moved away. Then I was hit with child support, I hired a attorney who took me for $5000 and told me to not worry and don't pay , he said there wasn't much they could do to me, I did not know any better so I did as he instructed . They drained my checking and savings and took my drivers license and they have stripped me of all my dignity . I had great credit a perfect class A drivers license and was never late on any bill. Now I can't pay any bill and my credit is destroyed.i complained to the State Law board about the lawyer that led me astray and they ruled in his favor I have nothing left I have lost it all I will be on unemployment and they will take that also. To add insult to injury she lives in North Carolina and is getting child support at California wage, the cost of living is much cheaper where she is. My only chance is to move to a blighted state with a shallow economy so she can't get everything from me and they have to change the pay scaleREPORT COMMENTS

Child support laws need to be revised. There are many abusers of the system who will receive extremely high payments from different spouses only for the sake of living a good life without working. Even if the payments take away from the non-custodials family, the courts for not budge. There is no way it costs so much money to take care of a child unless the have some sort of disability that requires medical care. Other than that, child support is just a crutch for lazy individuals to live off of.REPORT COMMENTS
