    I have been paying 189.98 a week for one child for the last 2 years because of rearage. Tommorow it will drop to 164.98. Still i think it is way to much for a thirteen year old especially when my boys mother only lives 8 miles away with her parents... Huh 2 yrs ago she told the judge that she was going to get an apt with the child support and has failed to do so. While my wife and i have 3 kids to support including the one that lives with his mother. She sends my boy to another school system drops him off with her boyfriend. She dosent allow him to bring any school work to my house on the weekends nor anything that he has done in school. Fed up with the family courts in maine being bias and making sure the fathers struggle. The courts in franklin county are corrupt and bias.

    I am resident of California. The mother abuses child support by not spending a dime towards the kids. I buy most of things the kids have from clothes to shoes. Abusing the kids with slaps to mouth, choking. Lies to the system saying that I am not in the home. I pick up my kids from school, currently receive mail at her address from child support. I do everything with my kids. I am their comforter through all this abuse. She even abuses me by having me incarcerated on falsified charges. Spat in my car in front of the kids when she doidnt get her way. Social services has documented proof that my kids were abused. The courts in Alameda county in California does not care. This woman has 5 kids with 3 different fathers and currently has my kids around numerous other guys while I am working. Please help me get my kids into a safe and peaceful home with a lot of love with me.

    The whole system is messed up (at least in my comments for the state of Illinois). Custodial does not have to claim income. Non-Custodial does not know where that income goes to. Why would Custodial parents want to get jobs or better paying ones? But yet they expect Non-Custodial parents to get better jobs so they can make more free money from non-custodial parents and the state! State distribution system is old and broken. I try to get info from Illinois' system, changed to 5 different menus then told no one available and then hung up on. Illinois tax dollars at work! The only people making money off any of this are lawyers. The system needs to change. Why does it take a court order in front of a judge to get anything accomplished. I believe that child child should be tax free for the non-custodial parent and taxed for the custodial parent. There should be a third party debit card system set up for child support payments, outsourced. Then non custodial parents could see where the money goes to. My last case took over a year due to job lose. After all the calculations I had over paid over $8,000. I will not see much of that back. Agreements are spit on by custodial parents, because they know that most non custodial will not go after them due to the high financial cost of a lawyer or even going Pro SE cost due to not knowing all the complicated laws and forms. Any congress person or Senator willing to help change these laws?

    Too many children are being victimized twice by a system that does not recognize the importance of properly rasing a child in society. Alimony and child support are by-products of divorce. However, while alimony is tax deductible, child support is not. Allowing NON-CUSTODIAL parents to deduct child care expenses that have already been taxed as earned income, may prompt non-custodial parents to be more willing and able to provide better financial support to the custodial parent than what is required by law. The benefit to society is immeasurable because: It gives the non custodial parent a feeling of inclusion in the rearing of his/her child. It rewards the non custodial parent for meeting his/her obligations. The custodial parent benefits from greater cooperation from the non-custodial parent. The parent/child relationship may improve as a result of more harmony between the parents when the funds flow freer. Fulfillment with the letter of the law would become easier and more palatable to the non-custodial parent because of the reward that would come from the deduction. The custodial parent should NOT be allowed to take the deduction because the non-custodial parent is providing the funds to raise the child and is already penalized at the loss of raising his/her own child. It is discriminatory that a divorced woman should be entitled to alimony but the divorced father should have to pay for both and only allowed to take the deduction for the ex-wife who may go on to remarry and live a "normal" life. The intent of this petition is to encourage divorced and unwed parents nationwide, to better provide for the future of their children, and our country.

    This another example of how America is failing to realize they are planning the ultimate demise of the foundation of America, the American family. Child Support enforcement has become "woman support" enforcement. This law is not about the child. The data that supports such outdated laws is not in consonance with current day use. Not only is this topic avoided by the media, it is shun away away by America, it leaders, all because "they" are not bold enough to say enough is enough, I will correct a wrong, and bring balance to the American family. But "they" are only concerned about the female vote. Well, needless to say, men will begin to boycott marriage, family, thus kids, what will American have then, unbalance....

    I have watched this over and over again! The man is ordered to pay child support, it doesn't matter if he can live on what's left over! How does a man start over again with child support payments so high that is leaves nothing for him to live on his own. I know men that have had to resort to renting a room because that's all they can afford. Then, what if he finds someone else to remarry? What happens to his wife? She ends up working to support both of them because all he has goes back to the children. I'm not saying a man shouldn't help financially to raise his children. I believe that if you ask any man about it, he will tell you he wants to do what he can for his children. My question is, why does the court order more than the man can afford? Isn't there some sort of formula that takes into account there is a second parent involved? I have a friend that was a firefighter, he made descent money, but after paying his huge child support payments, he was left with $125 every two weeks to live on. You can't even afford to feed yourself on that, much less do anything else. He was employed full-time and was homeless for three years! I'm a single mother of four. I don't get any child support payments from my ex because he's in prison. I'm raising my kids! Things are tight, but we are eating and we have a home and clothing too. So, why can't the courts expect more from the mothers?

    Child support should be based off household income. My ex has 3 college degrees, but stopped working a year before we divorced. She immediately married the guy she was cheating with and never worked again. 8 years later I have one of the two children from my ex and she has one. I have same childcare burden, but I am paying her $1,000 a month in child support because the court imputes her part at minimum wage. On top of that I have a new wife and a baby. My family has to survive on $2,000 less a month than my exes family. (I give a $1000 and don't get a $1,000). I thought child support was supposed to maintain quality of life. She is living like a queen and my new family is struggling to pay the basic bills.

    I am a second wife going through this nightmare with my husband as he continues to fight his ex. His children are 10, 12, and 14 and she refuses to work, even though she used to be an RN. Every year she takes us back for a recalculation- at this point, she gets almost $5000/month and he takes home, after deductions, $18/month. Yes you read that right. $18. My income is used to help support his expenses because of this. Now her attorney is trying to subpoena my financial records so that my income can be used to calculate even more support for her!!! Where is there incentive for a father to work harder to improve his financial state if it will only be used to further aid her refusal to work and make him pay more? Where is there incentive to marry for love if marrying a divorced man will only make you a new target for money? This is 2017 yet our government refuses to see the possibility that a man can be just as much of a victim as a woman can. If women want equal rights everywhere else, than they equally should share in the responsibility of financially contributing to the support of the children. When children are school aged, being a "stay at home mother" is no longer a job, no more than a father who would want to partake in similar responsibilities. Once a person shows that they have potential to make a certain income, it is then assumed that the income will always be the minimum used for future calculations. So, with that being said, if you are a miserable doctor, making $200,000/year and choose to make a career change to something that makes less but you enjoy more, don't think for a moment that a doctor turned photographer will decrease your payments! No! If your income drops from $200,000 to $100,000, you are still on the hook for the higher amount, because you are "capable" of that higher amount. The current laws prohibit hard working parents from being anything more than a money tree for their ex's until the youngest is 18. We are helpless within the confines of the current system, it was made for mothers, not fathers. And, I am saying this as a mother myself. What does that say?

    Child Support shouldn't be around because they do nothing to help the person taking care of the children. Father owes over 30,000 , they claim they can't find him when I live across the street from his mom. He goes there almost everyday. Child Support people get paid for doing nothing, and I mean nothing. She has gone to court and he never shows up but they claim they can't do him anything. She has to miss work and she is the only person seeing to their children needs. She loses out on money for the Child Support system to do nothing. What System we have and the judies to sit on their you know what and don't help her what so ever. Three boys and he doesn't even care and the system either. I'm going to have to get a paper and pin and write every government person in the whole united states. Lets see what happens. As you know you'll will do nothing. Look at all the messages sent.

    I'm doing everything in my power to get myself caught up on my child support arrears, but it feels like the system is purposefully keeping me in debt and offering no solutions on how to get out. I'm a poor man. I make ~$1500/month, of which $805 goes straight to my back child support balance of $8200. I'm only chipping away about $135 of the arrears every month, so at the current rate, I will basically be in debt forever. I will always have the looming fear of being arrested whenever there is a "child support roundup", as well as having my entire income tax refund garnished EVERY YEAR. Keep in mind, this is all coming from someone who is actively trying to get out of debt and getting their child the money they need. But yet, I will always be a "deadbeat" in the eyes of the court. This cannot continue! We are in dire need of an immediate revision of the current child support laws, and I implore congress to take this petition seriously. Millions of good, hard working men are being railroaded by an outdated and flawed system. It is time for a change!

    Why pay a huge amount in child support (past the child support calculator amount) all for the sake because the woman got on all sorts of assistance (hud, tanf,food stamps) the non custodial parent has to pay these back. (usually the man). Why do they have to pay the government additional money for the custodial parent (typically the mother) for her poor financial and life decisions on her part not to get a job (even though a child should be motivation to work and take care of yourself) im not talking about emergency help or just temporary help (although i dont think the noncustodial should have to pay the state back for that either). Im so tired of women claiming they want equel rights (yes i am a woman {no i dont have children}) but as soon as you mention child support and parental rights they run the other way crying unfair. I think they should have to work to begin if able bodied. Im not knocking government assistance but i am saying the father shouldnt be responsible for it because on her end she is poor and decided on equel rights. I am a woman and i am tired of other women cherry picking what they want for equel rights.

    The system is biased toward mothers. Why can't the mother and father equally support their children? The courts put most of the financial burden on fathers but not primary custodian rights. Unfair!

    Child support laws make it impossible for the owing party to live. When wages are garnished at 65% (50% giving the lowball number according to federal laws) and state, federal, and local taxes equaling between 20-35%, that leaves between $0-$30 dollars left for every $100 earned. That is IMPOSSIBLE to live on. I understand the need for both parents to support the child, but the system is rigged toward the parent that has more custody. Usually that is the mother. Meanwhile the other parent is regarded as a deadbeat and is completely railroaded by this system, never being able to afford a place where they can have the child for overnight visits. I am sure that you are aware that it costs the government more money to collect on child support than the actual amount of child support paid. This is why the defect is so huge. We are spending a very significant amount on destroying children's lives. It needs to end NOW.

    I'm a woman, the women who wreck men's lives over child support are usually losers who sit home on their asses. I think the system is broke. How does taking away someone's driver's license get the kids money any faster? Why are the women spending most of the money on themselves? Yes, they are too. Why can the government even have a say in this matter? I think its all bull. They should have to provide receipts to the courts. Really, maybe the government should say they won't get involved, and women wouldn't be sleeping with anyone and everyone.

    Child support laws are way outdated. Laws written when women stayed home taking care of the children, house and cooking for the family. These things no longer happen. Most women are in the work place fighting for equality and in most cases winning. Times have changed so shouldn't these out dated laws change. As a man I have a responsibility toward my child and so does the women. I shouldn't loose all I've worked for so I can provide a cush lifestyle for my ex. What I'm paying doesn't come close to what it actually cost to provide for my child. Let's be fair..

    I have paid over $300K in child support. I lost my job in 2007, due to the economy. As a result, I had my drivers license revoked for not paying child support. I was unable to pay my monthly child support of $2,400. I was arrested and charged with non payment of child support. I am now a convicted felon because I "only" paid that amount. I had constantly tried to have my support payments reduced, because my ex was earning over $100K annually, and her financial documents to the court showed her being cash flow positive by over $50K. I had to file bankruptcy. Also, I met my wife and we had a son in 2000. He was born with a heart defect, which caused a major strain on our finances. When I went to the county agency to discuss this matter, their words to me were "I'm sorry about your son, but these children here come first." Don't get me wrong - I firmly believe in paying child support. However, this system is extremely flawed, and only takes a myopic view as to what you owe - not what you have paid.

    Children are home by 2:30. I know of no positions that allow a woman or man to leave work at 1pm or 1:30 if you live in a metropolitan area to be home by that time. Also, school age children are often ill. Believe it or not they do not give a week's notice that they will be ill. If you have more than one child they are rarely ill at the same time, but are ill one right after the other. I am a woman and used to work in Human Resources. I did not make these decisions but many woman and even men are fired on a regular basis because "they cannot be counted on" in the workplace. The United States does not have a 12 month school year and unless you make a substantial amount of money the programs in the New York metropolitan area are very expensive. It costs more money to go to work than it does to stay and raise your own children. Many men are stay at home Dads. Men and women who make the choice to stay at home to care for their children should be applauded. It can be a very lonely existence, especially when you are attacked for the decision you have made with your spouse to do what is best given your family's situation.

    Nichole T. from Plainfield, CT writes:

    To Whom It May Concern: The new Connecticut child support laws are flawed when alimony is involved. The current law states that it did not make sense to add alimony as income for the receiving side nor deduct it from the paying side for percentage of child support. This is due to the fact that spousal support is meant to support a spouse and not a child. Wait just a minute, if it is to support the spouse isn?t that an income source? Even if it is meant to support a spouse, why is the paying spouse paying a percentage of child support with that income included in their side? Let me break this down for you; Payor makes $1861 per week and receiver makes $229 (because they refuse to work at a job paying at least minimum wage at full time). After tax deductions and medical the payor makes $1348 and the payee makes $204wk. The payor and payee?s income is combined to calculate child support. This instance the child support would be $289 a week. Based on those incomes the payor is responsible for 70% and the payee for 30%, which would definitely make sense if that is what they each made! The payor is paying $247 week (70% of $289) plus paying $303 alimony or spousal support. The payee is paying $42 dollars a week toward child support and earning $303 alimony. On the child support affidavit, the income shows that the payor makes $1348 a week, the 70% is based on that, and it is not allowed to make a deduction for self-support. On this same affidavit the payee only shows $204 weekly income and the alimony is allowed to stay on the payor side because the payee is allowed that deduction. WHAT? That means one parent is allowed to have a self-support deduction and the other parent does not. How is that working? How is that an equal and fair child contribution? If spousal support is not to go toward a child, then why is it counted at all? Children need support, I am a mother three and know that all too well. However, each person is also entitled to be able to support themselves and should have the equal opportunity to do so. Someone needs to look into the numbers, look at the way the support is divided up, look at how this makes absolutely no sense at all! The amount of child support I am not contesting, except maybe the fact people spend way too much on their children and the standards are apparently higher than ever. I am contesting the way the percentage is divvied out when alimony is in play. The payor is literally paying a higher percentage on income that they never see, income that goes away immediately before they can pay bills, self-support of any kind. How does this ?make sense? by standards of the law? Why is no one else, in the right place, seeing the devastating results of this new child support regulation? I am absolutely appalled that whomever is making these laws only sees a straight line, only sees a narrow goal, and the entire complicated picture is left out. Sincerely, A Mother of Three, with 100% sole custody, who receives no support due to other flawed laws, and who pays nor receives any alimony. Nichole Taylor

    I am working full time and part time and can barely pay my bills. My checks are not covering the gas to get back and forth to work or my phone bill. Meanwhile a woman who is living in a two income household and making more money than I is credited nearly half of my 2 week paycheck. It is not fare or right I have been paying into this system my whole adult life. What a terrible time in history to be born and not be able to get full pay? At nearly 40 I have maybe seen 2 income tax returns my entire life. I do not feel like a citizen and I feel this system will leave me homeless unless something is done now. I don't care about the homeless or anyone else, I can't afford to pay attention. All I care about is why I am working 14 hour days without travel and cannot afford groceries. Most messed up part I have never been married. The mother never had intentions of marriage with me but she did have intentions on getting government checks. The design of this collection agency is not right.

    Family court's are unfair to father's. Most of us are forced into poverty. How can we support our kids when we have them when the mothers get more than half of the father's income. The court system doesn't follow the federal laws set forth by Congress or the social security administration. In some states the court takes the father's SSN without him giving it voluntarily like the federal laws state very clearly. So what does a father do when he's no money because the state takes most of it.

    Child support is being used for spousal support and that's not right. Change the mathematical formula to account for the needs of the child, not the ex.

    I have 2 children and pay 1080/month in child support and must work OT to pay that and stay afloat with my own bills. While the childrens mom paid off her bills and now spends like theres no tomorrow on herself I go in the hole each month.She works less I work more and now we both take home the same amount each month. That's what the state wants right to make things fair? how is that fair when I cant sleep at night have health problems from stress and she eats out everynight on me.Childrens private school on the line but I still pay it alone on credit and I have 50/50 shared parenting...!!!Before child support I helped with bills and my ex and I were able to talk..now I don't even want to think of her...infact I despise her and if she need me to give her CPR she would be outta luck!!!!! GOOD JOB GOVERMENT FOR STICKING YOUR HANDS IN MY POCKET AND STEALING FROM ME. SHAME ON YOU!
