I asked for a modification based on the fact that I have been laid off for two months, I was told since I am getting unemployment they wouldn't do a modification because I could just go back to work anytime. Isn't it their job to do modifications based on circumstances changing?REPORT COMMENTS

People of America, it is time to fight and take back our country from those who seek to oppress us. If we fight back through the corrupt law system there is no winning. If we stand untied and push them out of office we will win this war. Men have the same rights as women but this country is not supporting this value.REPORT COMMENTS

I have 3 children and have to pay my ex wife cs plus cost of medical totalling 33,570.00 a year. I have to declare bamcrupcy and owe the irs and state money because I can't use my 3 children as a tax right off. I am hard pressed to rent a room let alone buy my children clothes and food when I have them. My ex wife is remarried and goes on countless vacations while I struggle to live. How is this fair?REPORT COMMENTS

I have been in and out of jobs, my credit is smoked. Recently i got evicted because i didnt make enough money. 3/4 of my check goes to Child Support, insurance, and taxes. I feel that the law hinders my rights as a citizen. There is no way i can freely persue happiness. Im crippled by debt, and my Ex who divorced me is living well. I end up supporting her Trolip way of life, while i sometimes have to steal food to eat!REPORT COMMENTS

Something absolutely must be done. Fathers are being bound by a first marriage and child and being forced to provide less to any other children. Two more children following one firstborn get less in Texas than the one. Makes no sense. Why do two others get less on total than one, just because of order. And why does the mother get to benefit in Texas. Verify her income and assets and see who is struggling to feed their family before ordering a standard amount. Each case is different. Ridiculous. A failing system.REPORT COMMENTS

If people have enough money from child support that they dont have to work then that is proof that child support is too high. My ex gf would harrass her childs father constantly about how she needs money. She bought cigarrettes drank lightly went gambling sometimes and smoked pot often. The niche these people are in is not good for taxpayers or noncustodial parents. They receive child support food stamps section8 housing and free health care. Then becausreturn. make so little money on paper the get a really good tax return. let me give you an actual example of what my ex gf used to bring in. She tried to get a couple hundred a week from her childs father. She worked nights as a waitress earning about 150 a night in tips but only showed her 2.89 an hour. She collected food stamps and got free health care because at 2.89 an hour she was below the poverty line. At the end of the year it looks as if she makes about 4000 dollars total and she receives a 2000 dollar refund. In total she brings home six hundred for four nights work..all tips. Another 200 in c.s. plus free medical and food. Not bad...and in the winter she would just not work and rely strictly on c.s to get her through until she started working again.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a firm believer in family! Mother and father. But I have experienced bringing life into this world only to be taking advantage of and wrongly put on child support. My daughter's mother got mad and decided to put me on child support because I wouldn't give her $100 to get our child school shoes. I didn't because I already bought her some they just wasn't the ones her mother wanted me to get.. I make sure I see our daughter as much as possible and have been there physically mentally and financially since her birth! My son's mother on the other hand, had our son and didn't inform me. Her mother had to tell me. And when I went to the hospital to see our newborn son, she and her girlfriend looked at me like I didn't belong and actually asked the nurse to tell me to leave. Every since then, my son's mother has changed her number often, moved frequently and don't bother to reach out. I've tried to keep in contact with her through her, her sister, her mother anyway possible. But she made it very clear when she told me she don't need me. Her and her girlfriend would take care of our son. I still tried to see him, spend time with him but she has no problem reiterating the fact that she don't want me in his life. But I received a letter from CSA saying she is now putting me on child support!! This is ridiculous! I don't have time to go to court over something that could have been prevented, on her behalf might I add! I feel as though there is no hope for a man in today's society when it comes to women and children support! There's no disputing it. If they file the man gets put on child support and it's not right! I do understand there are a lot of men who won't and don't step of to the plate but I'm not one of them! Something needs to be done because in all honesty child support don't always help the situation for the child especially when the man does everything is his power to provide and be there for his child! Can I live? Can I be a loving father without being taking advantage of and humiliated? Obviously not in today's society! Someone please reach out and do something about this because it's not building a family it's only tearing them apart!REPORT COMMENTS

My ex is a monster and uses the system against me. Over the past 3 years I had my son for more than 80% of the time, but was still having to pay support. Then after her many travels with multiple men, she decides to start "following visitation" in the papers and only allowing me to see my son for a couple of hours here and there and my weekends of course. The law should step in for the child! Fathers ARE necessary in the rearing of their children, as you know, single family homes where the father isn't involved, usually means the child will grow up dysfunctional. Judges must step up and stop the sexism in the system, and start giving a closer look into both parents, and if the father is found to be a good man, and father, then custody should be joint custody with both parents getting equal access to the child, and not just willy nilly giving superior power to the mother to ruin their children. Help to save our children! Help put fathers back into their children's lives and stop denying them and their children this!!REPORT COMMENTS

I sympathize with all these people.I am also a victim of the unjust and wicked system that we have allowed to takeover and control our beloved country. But I suppose this helps get us one step closer to the total destruction of America the Great as we have always known it. If we destroy the family then we undermine the very foundation of all we are and all we have ever been. Every person should watch or be shown the Agenda movie, by Curtis bowers. There's an enemy in the camp!!!REPORT COMMENTS

My ex now lives in a home on the beach in southern California. Drives to brand new vehicles and just got back from a month vacation from Italy. Oh did I fail to mention that she doesn't work. This had all been paid for under the mandated child support system in ca. Both my children live with me but I am still forced to pay 5000.00 a month for child support. I have been trying to get this changed for over 6 years. We live in a small apartment where I can barely afford food. We shop at second hand stores for clothes. The state has even raided my kids accounts for child support money. There is zero accountability on the other side of this equation. The judicial system should be ashamed of itself. The system is clearly setup to generate revenue. It creates dead beat fathers. Zero concern with the health and wealthfare of any child.REPORT COMMENTS
