A person should NOT be jailed because they can not afford to pay the whole sum of back child support all at once because they are disabled and unable to work! But yet THEY ARE still making court ordered monthly payments. And haven't even seen their kids or heard from them in 19 years! They are no longer even living in the home. Yes, I believe that back child support should be payed.... but in payments!! You should not have to do jail time because you can't come up with the money all at once!! I still wouldn't be able to come up with $35,000 cash all at once, even if I did a year in jail!!! My Doctors won't let me work!! More than likely....I would just give up, say what's the use and just kill myself!! These laws need to change!! (just got another harassing letter in the mail today) I have been up to date on all of my payments these last few years!!! Now I'm threatened with jail for not being able to pay full back support sum all in one payment!!! When is it going to stop!!??? (male or female...IT'S WRONG) -

There are tens of thousands of letters in this petition and 98 to 99% of fathers are correct perhaps just perhaps this is only a SCAM. As far as congress being asleep and need Awakening not true they are very well awake. Capital Hill Congress people that work there or known to be very smart and gifted intelligence very well educated and bright but when it comes to the child's father a micro part in there bran is numb.You do the math 30.000 plus and 98 to 99% correct excuse the you know what out of me. As far as the ATTORNEY GENERAL CHILD SUPPORT DIVISION, Now they are asleep they have meeting every week of the mount in the mornings and not knowing that kits, children's miner sons and daughters are consider a CHILD. Fathers guiding providing giving loving teaching is consider a SUPPORT. But no they go by the name of CHILD SUPPORT to big of a name when its in reality spousal support or ex support.Perhaps just perhaps the child support division employees been hypnotize with the word child support and if so they should be forgiven. I'm a father of 4, I love my kits the system got me to be homeless one of my kits in person and the other is lost. and the two other are married.been paying for over 17 years my oldest is 25 Yr. old.and I'm still throwing the money away my ex get it and my child stay crying. And GOD the one you have in your herd does do care, Who else beside the father.REPORT COMMENTS

The law should also be changed to where a father should not lose his drivers license because of getting behind on child support. So many people get fired, or get layed off its a part of life. What happens if the father wants to be a policeman, or doc, or anything with credit or license. What now? Wake up America! Welfare mothers should not get a free ride especially if the fathers are also on welfare.REPORT COMMENTS

I have paid child support faithfully for over 14 years. Over the years I have bought school clothes, paid soccer fees and whatever else occured. My child never received any of it. Her mom choose to pay for her own personal expenses. The system is unfair and needs to be reevaluated or revamped. Those who receive child support should have to show receipts for purchases for the child, quarterly, annually or monthly. It is for the child right? This isn't spousal support. The system is broken and needs to be fixed. Thankfully I will be done paying in 1 year. I am all for supporting my child, but not the mother. They can get a job and support themselves. When will Congress or senator's change the way our society looks at men or women who pay child support?REPORT COMMENTS

i dont think its fair that my children cant get child support only because the father "only income is SSI" both mother and father have the responsability support their children. laws need to change because even with SSI being the only income they sure do get good income. its not fair at all. and now he is out in the streets dating other girls who already have children and not supporting his own.REPORT COMMENTS

Why is it that a woman can have as many children as she wants, wield power over men, but he cannot start life over with another woman because he owes so much? United States Courts! Are you even taking the time to read these comments? You know what they all have in common? Betrayal by a system that promised equality. You have been creating a country full of women raising children that it is ok to be selfish and that they do not have to work and that men mean nothing. If men cannot be happy, their children can never be happy and the cycle continues.REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter was born while I was in the US. Navy. when I got out 4 years later, my daughter's mom told me she did not want me in my daughter's life. from 2004 to 2007, I had only seen her a handful of days. Since 2007, I have not seen her, She contacted me on facebook, I told her mom that she contacted me and that day I was blocked from sending or receiving messages from my daughter and viewing her page. her mother has started a career and has been working it for at least 5 years while I worked my ends down making money to send my child. now that I am unemployed and attending school, I receive papers of contempt, for failing to pay. I don't make any extra money that does not go to support the family and the child that have with them. the mothers who keep their children away from the father without legal reason to do so should be the ones held in contempt.REPORT COMMENTS
