I'm fine with child support, I'm happy to pay it. He's my child and I love him. But I don't think it's right for the mother to become rich off child-support. I think it's wrong that the mothers standard of living increases simply because she's the mother of a child whose father has done well later in life. There should be accountability on the mothers part, have her show that she spends the money on things necessary for the child. Any extra money should go into a trust set aside for the child at a later point in time. For several years my ex-wife and I have paid the same amount of money. I have paid her $1000 a month or more for our one child for the last seven years. However I recently got a nice raise and I make about three times what she does now. So now my child support obviously goes up. Will that increase in child support directly be reflected in my child's Quality of life? I don't think it's right that she should be able to buy nice shoes, a nicer car, and expensive jewelry. My marriage with this woman ended, while we do have a child together who needs both of our support, she should not benefit, personally, from my later success merely because she has a child. All I'm asking for is accountability for both parties involved. Aft all I'm asking for is accountability for both parties involved. If justice is truly equal, it be nice to see that represented in child support and family law.Mar 29th, 2016Someone from Pensacola, FL signed.

Child support calculations are very unfair to the non custodial parent, pay out 1/3 your income, carry health insurance costs on your own, then get stuck holding the majority of the bills afterwards, on top of such you pay your own way thru life while the custodial parent is aloted an easy ride. And with our disgusting healthcare system who knows what you'll get there. You make the children together, and you support the mother of your children for 16 years, then have to continue to do so after divorce, come on, the reason we get divorced is to get away from one another, the courts are forcing you to live out that life with them. It's wrong and it should be overhauled.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support is calculated unfairly. How is a father to pay for his living expenses food, shelter, car, and gas for work if he's paying most of his paycheck to child support? It's not fair or right. Something needs to change!!REPORT COMMENTS

I pay 466.30 every two weeks and i make 11.00 a hour and the mother of my babies hasnt let me see my daughters since they were born. she loves collecting the child support though. even if I went to the courts and got rights to see my children i wouldn't even beadle to take care of them because I'm barely bringing any money home because its all going to her. I miss my daughters so much and i wish someone in the state of Ohio would fix this problem. Ohio has one of the most unfair child support laws ever. lets get this problem fixed because its not only ruining my life i cant imagine how many other good lives its ruining.REPORT COMMENTS

This child support system is a joke all it is is extorting money from the American citizens as another way for government to get their fingers on the money they haven't taken already . It's disgusting that my license was taken away after I got into a car accident couldn't work and my caseworker said well that's too bad file a motion for which I was put in jail it's just a crooked ****ing jokeREPORT COMMENTS

I have two children with my ex, both now are over eighteen. Seven years ago, my ex "tried" to overdose on pills, and since then my older son lived with me. The moment he turned 18 last year she took me back for child support. She hasn't worked in seven years since her episode, yet has had two more children. My younger son just turned 18, and is a junior in hight school, so I have to pay her for another year, even though he gets little of the money if at all, since he works 28/wk. And she has the other two children. Her and her husband basically told my son I can help with the other children. Yeah, the child support system is very fair. At least my children know I'm there for them, and learned on their own their mother is a worthless drunk.REPORT COMMENTS

This child support system is a joke. My child's mother is attempting to say her Mom is watching her at $140 a week which for the last year would total over $6k. She's only made according to her W-2s $3k so how does that add up? So my court date is this Friday and now all of a sudden she quit her job claiming she went back to school in March literally a week ago but she just graduated in December. This system is a joke it should take into account the non-custodial parents expenses and should also wait and establish custody before one goes to just try and collect. This system is catered to women and leave father's high and dry. In MD the standard is attempting to give a child what she would have had if the parents were together. So explain this if a couple were together would a mother especially in a medium income household would you be given 2 years without working? That's what MD allows. If a couple were together would one be automatically having their paychecks garnished, not late nothing, just automatic wage garnishment. How come her portion isn't garnished as well that's not something you want your boss to be involved in. Change the laws.REPORT COMMENTS

I have only been in my battle for a short time.....though its been an adjustment every single year, and the cost of these alone is extreme. The court allowed a false adjustment on my ex's behalf (I wasn't able to pay for the appeal) and I ended up having to get a second job to pay the over adjustment. My ex is off and on between jobs and has recently decided to travel as a "pole dancer" and is claiming that she's unable to work because of school. Because of the law and my ex evading paperwork, I have to also pay process servers........all just to see my son......REPORT COMMENTS

I also think child support office should take into account a man's living expenses when determining how much he will pay. Men have to get two jobs just to live and pay child support which takes away the value time spent with being with the childrenREPORT COMMENTS
