My husband had a marriage and a girlfriend before me and I understand the past is the past but when the exgirlfriend scream through them going to take you for childsupport in Texas and Oklahoma and any other state possible so don't have a stone to throw OK well that one does allow him to see kids even though she left him. The ex wife cannot control her kids and cps placed them in our custody now keep in mind he still pays her child support and I have to take care of 1400.00 - 1700.00 in bills each month plus gas and groceries what's fair about that? These females are using us to the limit and I can't get no help from the state I am severely disappointed and the I was born and raised has let me down and let my children down. They get to be hungry and not have Moma but the rest get everything they need for a while I bought the exgf's kids cloths and stuff and quit I have my to think of the exwife s kids will eat 2-3 helping of breakfast lunch and dinner when I tell them I have to share the food with the babies they go tell everybody Iddon't feed after they ate almost everything here anyway its not fair I can't keep asking friends and family for food and gas money because he can't make enough money to help me pay for family expenses.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband has two less days with his daughter than his ex has, TWO, and he still pays full child support, while we struggle and don't qualify for any assistance, she only works half the year and qualifies for everything, she's never has the child to school on time and rarely bathes the child and doesn't do any homework with her, all the while my husband takes amazing care of her and we all worry sick about her while with her mother, but it's still in the mothers favor to have custody here in Alabam. It's complete ********.REPORT COMMENTS

I hear a ton of bashing going here about mothers using support to live off of well my ex husband is taking me for $1000 a month in support I provide insurance I support my daughter a grandson who live with me and she is not his child and then the ******* excuse the language goes and claims my son who I have a court order to claim yet he refuses to amend his taxes he took custody illegally and when I had the kids he never paid a dime of support so yes I agree the sytem is faulted and I can barely get a bank account with savings in it.. I work my*****of pay my support and just keep getting screwed whil my ex and his girlfriend abuse the sytem that was in place to ensure children are cared for not to destroy one house hold so another can live off my money's that are not used to take children it's an excessive amount and unfortunately I was away to ringing with him when I had custody of the kids and I wish I had known that he was going to be like this but the probate system is set up so that the first one to take the first hip is usually the one that comes out on top it is not fair system whatsoever I'm paying a minimum wage income in child support how is that even fair? I'll never get a home I'll never go on vacation all I can do is pray my lawyer finds a loop hole in his financials that prove he is lying and fraudulent it's pretty easy to work minimal hours and show the court the last two weeks of your paycheque and act like you live poor when you live in a home that cost $1500 a month rent you have two cars you spend all kinds of money on computers and spend the support I pay my hard working income all kinds of crap for yourself and your kids go without because the judicial system in this country and probate system in this country is so broken.. This needs to stop people can't give up 30% of their income and expect to survive in the economy today. Our children are use as a commodity in this country and means for people to make money off of it and that should not be the case the system is still broken and I can't even comprehend it in begin to explain to you how hard it is for me to just make it pay check to pay check paying for this guy to take advantage of me and take advantage of my kidsREPORT COMMENTS

I know the truth about child support it is corrupt and suppressive, the CSA benefits more than the custodial parents, everytime a child support case is opened, collecting, or incarcerating someone they are federally reimbursed and I know life is very good for them and the judges who are making bank on our misery. It needs to be stopped right now its a scam to keep money rolling in to thier pockets. This is the truth people I have even heard people who work for this agency brag about the money they make.REPORT COMMENTS

Child Support is taking 60%, of my paychecks for 2 kids, one of them is already 19. I have 2 jobs so I can survive, this month I am facing an eviction notice and a repo. I moved from Texas to Arizona so I can afford a rental and a way of living but I am desperate, I can not afford a lawyer and I have been asking for help to the Texas Child Support filing a modification. One year had passed and I have not received an answer yet. I feel helpless, this is not fair, I am not denying to pay, but a fair amount and answers is what I need. This is ruining my life.REPORT COMMENTS

I have to pay child support and rears, that was never spoken of in court. We went to court three times and only spoke of custody. Some how outside of a court the judge granted 83% of my payroll. No joke its all in black and white in the filed court documents. I have shown this to the child support agency and I keep getting to that there is nothing that can be done. I have been back to court and still no help. I have not tried to get out of paying support, I?m the father. I still think I should be treated fairly. I have asked how is it that the law can be broken to give child support, but not to correct the wrong. I was told that family court is above the law.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support Lawservices should not take away your license, bexcuse without that, we can't get a proper job to pay child support. They should at least use common sense in that there is no money without a job, and there is no job without the tools to get a job.REPORT COMMENTS

My son has two children to support. One in NC anther in NY. NC took all of the child support (he was trying to catch up from losing his job). And sent it all to the child in NC because she was on welfare. Then got arrested and spent four days in jail because the child in NY didn't get any money. Then he had $150 in his pocket so that's what they set for his fine and then lost his job. Something needs to be done about this law.REPORT COMMENTS

I currently pay child support for one child. My paynebts have increased every month fpr the past few years. Anywhere from 40 to 60 dollar increase. Why they cannot explain... Or why i am paying child support to the state of texas since my child lives in Kansas. I cannot renew my license because of back payments from when i wasnt working but still sending clothes shoes whatever i could while i wasnt working plus still keeping visistation arrangements with no help from custodial parent. She is SSG in United States army. Funny cause i kno they pay for everything medical and all for him and her. Unfortunately ive lost two jobs now because of this and these laws need to change. Cause for the dads i see thats single parents how many of the moms pay child support and why does the mom usually end up with custody??? My childs mom literally spent 1 yr with our son by his 3 bday. There is no way she should have been auto selected for custodial parent. Just bsREPORT COMMENTS

I don't think if one parent has total custody of a child and the other parent never gets to see the child that parent should not have to support said child, also if the state is willing to give out welfare to a mom or dad why should the other parent have to pay the state back? Very unfair.REPORT COMMENTS

I've been going thru my initial child support papers.. My case is in Missouri.. They ordered me to pay $1,086/month for 1 child who is 5 now.. The order started when he was 1. Child support has ruined my life.. I had to move to Nevada for work and they labeled me a dead beat and ordered me to pay the maximum amount.. I just looked online at Missouri FSD and it states that gross pay of an order of $1,086, I should be grossing $8800/month.. At the time of the order I only grossed $2200 and after deductions I make $1100/month. Literally my checks used to be $12 and I made $16/hr.. Child support is*****backwards and should be abolished!REPORT COMMENTS

They base the child support on gross pay and overtime and then take it from the net pay and that is ********!!! First of all it should never be based on overtime because overtime is not guaranteed. Forty hours should be what each parent should be accountable for if they each have full time jobs. There should be a national average for the cost of raising a child in america from the age 0-18 (a true and fair amount) and that should be slit in half and the non custodial parents child support be based on that half. That amount only changes when the national average amount change. Both parents should be responsible for carrying health insurance and splitting the cost of medical bills. Get rid of title IV-D under the social security act that is causing all of this corruption and maybe things can get better for the children and the families involved.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband and I share 50/50 custudy with his ex girlfriend of our 19 month old son. We have our son during the week, and his mom has him saturday sunday and monday. Due to this schedule my husband and I are obviously the ones that have to pay for his school (daycare). We have him 18 days of the month and she has him 12. She has him on her days off work, therefore she does not even need to pay for childcare. Yet we are still required to pay her $600 a month because that is what the offset support is because technically she and my husband pay child support. We pay $900 a month for his daycare and another $600 to her. She is 35 years old and works at a tanning salon. So we pay $1,500 a month on school and HER bills and we have our kid over half the time. It is not fair that in a 50/50 custody split that anyone should have to pay the other party because parenting duties are split. In our case we have him more of the time. I do not want her money, I just dont think its fair that we pay her to have our son less than half the time.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a father of 2 in my second marriage. I am paying on my 12 yr old who I get on a regular basis. I work 3 jobs which keeps me from my family quite a bit. I have a total of $499 left on my full time check after paying the support. I pay a total of $700 per month for my almost teenage daughter. Way above the average for one child. On my part time jobs I only get paid around $500 per pay period for both part time jobs together. Me and my family are losing our home to foreclosure because the state of South Carolina feels I still make too much even though she only makes $10,000 less then me per year before taxes. I have been denied a reduction and not am forced out of my home while she buys a brand new vehicle and eats out every night. There needs to be some sort of legislation that can look at both incomes after taxes and not before taxes. What we bring home is what should matter. I'm sure if they looked at that, then I know I wouldn't be paying so much for one child and could provide a home for me family and still support my daughter who I see every day I am off. Another thing they need to do is monitor what the money is spent on. Some sort of control needs to be put on it.REPORT COMMENTS

I believe that there should be a set amount on how much child support should be per child, not per income. Just because the father works full time, it doesn't mean that the child's expenses are any more expensive than a child who has a father who works part time. My husband and I have 2 children from prior relationships and my husbands child support is based on his overtime. It is so unfair because we are barely able to afford our rent. He also has to pay medical for his two kids that he has no contact with. One mom left the state and we cannot find her and the other one lives in the ghetto collecting my husbands hard working money while sitting on her butt collecting state benefits. She refuses to let us see the child. There should be a law that if the fathers aren't allowed to see their children, then child support is terminated. On my behalf, I allow my kids fathers both to see our kids and yet i do not receive the court ordered child support that I am supposed to for my children. The support enforcement office states that I have to personally take them to court yet for some reason they NEVER miss taking payments from my husbands check. How could the system be one way for one father and different for the other? They recently messed up in child support enforcement and sent a letter of termination to my sons dads employment. And yet they "accidentally" charged my husband double child support leaving us with less than $300 for two weeks. They refused to refund him stating that they couldn't do that but that it will lower his balance. Thank God we had saved money because it was time to pay the rent which by the way for a two bedroom is $1364 cold flat. I believe that the system is so unfair especially since we are experiencing it from both mom & dad views. Something needs to be done!!!! They need to make those females go to work. They should definitely NOT call it child support!!REPORT COMMENTS

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE should there be a percentage taken from noncustodial parents. Children do not NEED more simply because one EARNS more. And if one parent is more financially equipt to provide for the child, that parent should be automatically considered to hold residential custody for "the betterment of the child".REPORT COMMENTS
