My husband's ex-wife who married during custody litagation decided to quit working for Renee Elmers when she was in office, so that she can be at home and collect more child support from him while the kids are in school. She and her lawyer threatened him that he will pay for her court costs if he fought her in moving from NC to LA because of this new job opportunity at her new husband's job. Her new husband makes a 6 figure income and they just bought a house and built a pool in LA . We had just finished paying for 2 layers and have 2 more lawyers left in this custody battle. She had originally abandoned him and took the children, lied and manipulated the system through her political affiliations at work and outside of work and received physical custody before. So badically upsets the family, obtains custody and half his 1/3 to half his income counting ins costs, extra curricular activities and anything else Lee she can squeeze out of him. Th n she was not satisfied with that because she hard to take the kids away and move to o LA and claim more child support. She had the earning capability of $40,000 a year and now puts down she makes $15,000 a year babysitting inside her house a year. We are so tired of her Liebig, cheating and taking advantage of the system and the people around her no matter who it hurts. Their children are devistated along with mine. So now he gets only 8 weeks total out of a year to see them and he had a o drive 7 hours one way just to meet her to obtain and drop off the 3 kids. Wow... Really?! She Is hurting the boys nutritionally because neither eats fruits or vegetables, eggs, and so much more. In other words they will not eat anything at Thanksgiving nor other holiday meals along with any cook outs or other family dinner functions without asking to go to McDonalds.. So no we do not take them off o MsDonalds. Also the 8 year old wears 2 size clothing smaller due which o lack of nutrition. It is very sad, upsetting and a helpless situation we are in. Tried fighting but no more money left... ???? I am now in between jobs and money is tight but she is fine laying out by all he pool and going out to escape oven along with expensive trips and vacations... God help us all who have American pride and having to deal with these low lives with the feeling that they are entitled to what is not theirs and that the world owes them. Get some pride and get a clue! Narcissistic - Narcissism and there is no cure per our counselor with advise to move far away but we see distance still does not help with their games.... Pray for us all! -

Money gained from child support should automatically be put into a trust for that child to be able to manage when he or she comes of age without interference from the custodial parent. Problem solved.REPORT COMMENTS

Child Support System Declared Unconstitutional Minnesota Supreme Court upholds ruling In 1975, Congress passed a law which included a last minute amendment to create the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). When signing the bill, then President Ford commented that it took the federal government too far into domestic relations and promised to propose legislation to correct the problem. Over the decade that followed, it became clear that OCSE intended to grow in size and power to control all aspects of child support law, seizing that power from the state courts. The size of the OCSE grew, this decade acquiring a staff in excess of 50,000 and costing taxpayers some $3 billion annually. Child support laws were modified, so that simple mathematical formulae are used to make award decisions. This new simplicity is required due to the low level of education of workers who are assigned as "judges" in child support cases. Extreme consequences defined by new federal laws, often carried out automatically and without trial, give the child support enforcement agency power over tens of millions of individuals that surpasses anything previously seen in the United States. After almost 25 years since its start, judges in Minnesota finally felt that they had seen enough. In June of last year, the Court of Appeals decided that the administrative branch of government had exceeded its constitutional powers. "The administrative child support process governed by Minn. Stat. 518.5511 (1996) is unconstitutional because it violates the separation of powers required by Minn. Const. art. III, 1." (STATE OF MINNESOTA IN COURT OF APPEALS C7-97-926 C8-97-1132 C7-97-1512 C8-98-33, Filed June 12, 1998; http://www.courts.state.mn.us/library/archive/ctappub/9806/c797926.htm) The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the decision in January of this year. "The administrative child support process created by Minn. Stat. 518.5511 (1996) violates the separation of powers doctrine by infringing on the district court's original jurisdiction, by creating a tribunal which is not inferior to the district court, and by permitting child support officers to practice law. Therefore, the statute is unconstitutional." (STATE OF MINNESOTA IN SUPREME COURT C7-97-926 C8-97-1132 C9-98-33 C7-97-1512, Filed: January 28, 1999, Office of Appellate Courts; http://www.courts.state.mn.us/library/archive/supct/9901/c797926.htm) --Reported by Roger F. Gay Thank something needs to be done about this in all the states . I be leave in this day and time woman want to be equal and be treated as equal so with that being said thank taking care of the child child support should be 50/50 it's not right for the man to break his back and have to pay out high child support for the woman to stay home and live a free life and the man to pay for it all. The states to get rich off of the child support with making 5% off of every dime payed in from every one paying child support .

if this goes on men will most like see marriage as a waste of time and a risk taker and have to take care of two or people that want something and they can't do nothing about it even if they're poor or just can't handle the stress of the problem if it can be simply solved by having the women to share the payload or let the child in custody of the dad in the first place. if they wanted to have a marriage and then divorce because there's always the government to feel bad for the lady and make her look like the subject when it really her that started the problem and make the man be responsile for a child that the women want to keep away from the dad why does he have to take care and pay lots of money if he cant see him as often as he likes if the child is half his??????? if this is land of the free and equaltiy why isn't if unfair for men to have the massive bill so that the women have to stay home with her legs and arms all restfull and the men working just to maintain a life full of bill and a lazy mom to be at home using that money to pay phone, water, electricity, car morgage, food, etc. why is child support called child support if it can be used as a payment for other stuff other then for the child and be a paycheck for living off others peoples*****and be a thorn and cause more harm then good. if the us want a future then they better start thinking about the smaller details that hold up the rest of the bigger details first or humanity for the us will come to an end and population decrease because u need sperm a key ingredent for making a baby.REPORT COMMENTS

I feel that family court has way too much power. My fiance and I are on opposing sides of the system and are both victims. I cannot obtain, he gets reamed. We are both being punished for wanting to take care of our children while our exes are still playing petty games to keep us from moving forward. All of this because they feel that we should have stayed with them and their abuses and their sob-stories were bought by the judges. Instead of being objective, these judges use their "feelings", acting as if psychological warfare does not exist. There is no fairness ib a system that has a "no-nonsense" approach because there are too many ambiguities in individuals' lives. What matters to the support system is money and the foundation of their decision is money, NOT the well being of the children. The psychological warfare is a monetary gain for them, and only the good parents feel the repercussions of a system set up in this manner. Child support should only exist if one parent won't do their part or is unfit. Furthermore, parents need to learn to grow up, put differences aside and raise their children to avoid traumatizing kids who grow up to be traumatized adults.REPORT COMMENTS

Child Support is not for the kids anymore. I am a step mother, and bio mom never stay in a job for more than 1 month because she does not "like them" or "they are too workaholics" (whatever that means). She does not needs to work, because she has child support... We claim that women and men are equal, then expenses should be 50% and 50%.REPORT COMMENTS

The child support in this country is ridiculous. The ones who get punished more are the good men. My husband paid child support for his daughter until she was 8. And then she came to live with us for five years. Not once did we ask or put her mother on child support. At 13 his daughter wanted to go live with her mom. He let her go an two months later she put for child support. On top of everything they never looked at your bills or mortgage. They told my husband you just make way too much to get discounts like other people would. Basically my child doesn't matter. The system is wrong and it needs to be fixed to better fit the child, it should just be called women support. What person needs 790 a month for one kid especially a 13 year old. To me child support means support the women because she obviously can't support the kid and herself.REPORT COMMENTS

I firmly believe that if a non-custodial parent is up to date on his or her child support, they should at least be able to claim something on their Federal Income Tax. Child support greatly affects my income all year long. I have no problem paying for my daughter, but at the end of the year her mother gets an added "bonus" by being able to claim her as a dependent, when she has not financially contributed even half of what I have. Without my child support, my daughter and her mother would barely be able to live. They RELY on my child SUPPORT. That is the definition of a DEPENDENT.REPORT COMMENTS

They need to change the amount that is given. My husband and I both work and have children of our own. His is required to pay more than half his income and the mother won't let him see his daughter. We can't afford custody because of child support. We wouldn't mind paying if we could at least see the child. We can't feed our children or buy clothing for any of us and are forced to be on welfare because of it. How much sense does that make? Oh and apparently the law says that each parent is supposes to pay half there income which the mother definitely does not but Lebanon county forces him to pay more than half they don't even care what the law says.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support should be equal for each child if its for more than 1 child. Its not fair to my younger baby boy to be ordered by court to get less money than my first boy who has a different mother. Also, WOMEN should be required to help pay for the children too! They just sit at home and collect free child support and live off of it and pay their bills off with it while us MEN work FULL-TIME just to have all our wages garnished and even our raises garnished. YES, at age 5 child support should be lowered for the paying parent and 50% should be REQUIRED by the other parent, PERIOD! Its not fair especially to us MEN!REPORT COMMENTS

I feel there should be one price set for child support.It should not go on how much you make. Why should Tommy get 800$ a month and Jimmy only gets 100$ a month. Sample If you live in Pennsylvania and you pay child support. 1- child 100$ a week 2 - children 150. A week 3 - children 200 a week. I don't feel because you have a better job you must pay more. I also don't feel that because you have a child with someone you should pay all your money to child support and not be able to live. I know mother's that didn't have to work because they got enough child support to live they don't need to work. So one one parent is paying for this child!!! Yes I do have children but I work and supported my children that lived with me. My son I n It took two not one.REPORT COMMENTS

OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE! Incentivizing states for child support collection is fraud, abuse and a waste of taxpayers money and there is no sound reasoning behind doing so. Yet, the funding of welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, section 8 housing/public housing, and other entitlements continue to increase. Enforcement of Child Support has not decreased the spending for these entitlements, which it was supposed to do.These incentives are aiding the states to cripple our society. It is causing more harm than good. It allows states to set insane guidelines and legally extort money from non-custodial parents. Many non-custodial parents don't mind paying child support, it is the amount they have to pay. It promotes unemployment, leisurely for the custodial parent while the non-custodial parent is forced to quit a good paying job because HE/SHE CANNOT EAT, SURVIVE. 20-25% goes to taxes and 65% goes to child support? The states make their laws based on the incentives provided by the federal government. There is no accountability or oversight of the collection methods or administration. THE CHILD IS THE ONE WHO SUFFERS. The custodial parent definitely does NOT HAVE THE CHILD's INTEREST in mind. They'd rather sell their child(ren) for " 30 pieces of silver" than have both parents in the child's life to help raise respectable and decent children, NOT LOST SOULS WHO SEEK GANGS AND TURN INTO CRIMINALS because MOMMY and DADDY were not there. Child support is a racket. STOP INCENTIVIZING STATES with MY HARD EARNED MONEY. I do NOT support this. ___________________________________________________________________________ Everyone, petition your state to change these laws. Start a Go Fund me Page if necessary to donate to the politician who will enact change. Money talks, its how big corporations get what they want. OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE!!!

Please help! I am a father being threatened and forced to pay 6k in arrearage to my first daughters mother but I have been the sole provider for my daughter.How does this happen?My daughters mother entered a claim of child support and left the state with my daughter without me knowing. I found out a few years later ,when the state is threatening to suspend my license ,that she did this ,mind you I already had an arrangement with the courts to pay for private school which I did in full.Why does the state go after its male citizens like predators?At a hearing I was belittled for being a stay at home father of my youngest and actually being present in my daughters life. Hernan Castro (lawyer for Dor)told me that women should stay home and males should go to work in Jan 2017.At a hearing I wasnt even allowed to speak or submit the proof I was taking care of my daughter with no help from her mother or the state. This should be about the kids well being and support. This system is breaking families and lives apart for a buck and it's disgraceful! Trying to recoup ill spent tax payers money on American fathers back. I never got a dime from this government I believe in honesty,hard work and self suffiency. All I got was taxed for my hard work.

I agree that the system is screwed up. There are women out there that use getting pregnant as a form of employment. The system is very one sided and is a major burden on the non-custodial parent. Most non-custodial fathers have most if not all the financial burden and if they try to get ahead by working overtime, they can be taken back to court and child support increased and be in arrears. So they don't get their children and they don't get their paycheck and they can't get ahead. Then the children hold it over their heads that they weren't there for them like the custodial parent was and they don't realize that being the custodial parent is often times easier than being the non-custodial parent! Especially if the custodial parent has a steady source of income coming in and doesn't have to work or is under employed. I am a mother to 4 (1 is in college) who receives no support from the non custodial parent and I work full time. I also provide health insurance for all 4 children and have not been reimbursed for medical expenses for the past 3 years. My husband is the father of 5 and pays over 40% of his gross pay to his exes, 30% goes to taxes, another 10% for health coverage for him and his children (even though the exes are on Medicaid because they don't work) so that leaves about 20% of his paycheck to live on. How does the system expect a person to live on 20% of their paycheck?REPORT COMMENTS

This is simple, to all of you on capital hill. GET OFF YOUR*****AND DO SOMETHING. you have made this an incentivized system for the states to award higher and higher support amounts based on the Bradley amendment title IV-D. I do not believe that ANY state should be incentivized by the federal government for the facilitation of a divorce and child support. Now, the states all want to raise support amounts to collect money from the government through the matching programs because these monies go to an open budget and can be spent on politicians, law enforcement to shake down more broke parents, and force them into the jail system where the local government is yet again subsidized by paying the state for jailing the broke parent. This country has gotten way beyond out of control. I sincerely hope you do something to fix this.REPORT COMMENTS

I think the tax laws for child support should be changed...the payer should be able to deduct the support from their income and the recipient have to claim support as income. Its not fair that some can claim so little income and receive a huge refund because most of their money is from child support. If they had to add the child support to their income their refund wouldn't be so large and the tax liability for the payer wouldn't be so high.REPORT COMMENTS

Child support should take into account the actual cost of raising that child. The income of the father should not be a factor, two children in school do not cost 1800 dollars to raise per month. The guidelines for child support should be treated as what they are guidelines not rules that do not sway. Several factors should be taken into account and custodial mothers should have to provide where the support is going just like the non custodial parent is expected to provide payment of support. Also why if both parents are proven fit does the Father have to go above and beyond to be named custodial parent and it is just assumed the mother is. If both parents are proven fit then other factors should be looked at, such as the standard of living each parent can provide, who is in a stable career, who owns a home, or who has moved frequently, school district information. None of this is considered for men unless you can afford to tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees to a system that is hardwired to hand over all rights to the mother with zero to little consideration for the father.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a police officer and make a good living. I have 42% custody of my 3 children. I pay close to half my income to her in alimony and c/s. I really don't mind that but, the frustrating part is she never has gotten a job. Her and her boyfriend got into a moderate size marijuana growing cultivation. I noticed her boyfriend who also never works but a jet ski, a new Harley, and newer f250 pickup. She also bought a new motorcycle and new car I went to court and supesned her bank records where she had 4 rolling accounts. I paid her close to 40,000 in a span of 16 months In addition, she deposited unaccounted income additionally of $92,000 That's a total of approximately 132,000. The judge asked her about the money and she said she gets gifts from people. The judge did nothing about it. The reason I took her to court in the first place is because she was awarded the family residence in trade for my retirement. There is about 250,0000 in equity and the payment is only 960.00 a month for a 3000 square foot home. She was required to refinance the house four years ago and hold me harmless I'm the only person on the deed and on the loan and they don't pay it for months at a time. Sometimes even up to six months. It's been in foreclosure status twice. It's interesting because they make plenty and it's where they live. They just don't pay it because it's in my name. I asked the judge to make her sell it so I could stop ruining my credit and he award her more time. Actually phrased a reasonable amount of time. How is four years not enough. I stopped taking her to court because if I do she calls my work and makes false allegations. I've been through 3 investigations and in has always been concluded false and unfounded. It seems there is no end to this madness and the ca judge keeps letting her get away with it. She never has any consequences. I have so much more to tell. I'm so frustrated with this broken systemREPORT COMMENTS

They need a system to prove where the money is going and if it all doesnt get used for valid reasons then they give it back. They need proof that the children are not being used as daycare workers possibly doing random house calls or something. But they also need to leave the people paying child support a decent amount to live on, i.e. rent, insurance, food, gas, and a way to save to see their children if they live in a different stateREPORT COMMENTS

I think it's wrong for the party receiving child support to try and get every penny they can by lying and abusing the system while the parent that works hard for their money get it all taken away leaving many homeless and with less than 100 dollars a month. I also think it's stupid for an ex wife to get about 1000 dollars of child support a month when the ex husband barley makes that a month. Also they never look into how she spends the money but will micromanage the ex husbands spending. It's stupid and women abuse the system way too much. There needs to be better laws in there for men to protect themselves from women. Also colorado is a messed up state to get a divorce. They will secretly increase your child support and then send you a letter requesting financial records and blah blah.REPORT COMMENTS

For active duty fathers in the Military, BAH & BAS SHOULD NOT be included in the child support calculations but judges continue to do it anyway. Many fathers fall victim to this ''calculation'' & I have known several fathers who have been forced to move back into dorms on base & cannot afford to eat because their ex-wives are raking in $1300 a month from their pay & in the meantime quite content to be working $8 an hour jobs. I mean why on earth would the mothers even be willing to find higher paying jobs when they are receiving so much in child supports? Also I do believe proof of where the money is going should also be mandatory, whether it's towards rent or utilities, gas (to get them to & from places) clothes & school supplies, general necessities that the child or children will benefit from. Too many people are hearing about how the mothers are spending the cash on getting their hair & nails done, spending it on their new boyfriends, going out drinking, buying THEMSELVES clothes. It's unacceptable & needs to stop.REPORT COMMENTS

I think it is unfair to the fathers to pay child support by himself if the mother is not doimg anything to support her child/children. Why make the dad pay but not the mother regrdless of what the age is on the child. That's just stupid to my understanding! It takes 2 to tangle and he didn't make that child on his own and a lot of times women take child support out on the father out of spite because the father no longer wants to be with the mother. I feel all of that should be checked in to before placing that man on child support I mean at least give the man a chance! This something a bitter woman came up with because the absent parent left and she was upset and told a bunch of lies just to hurt the man! I say bump child support and anybody that supports this stupid idea!REPORT COMMENTS
