She now owns over $15,ooo dollars the state barley done anything but I owed $315 and they came after me but not her. So, see were ur coming from by saying the system is a joke. Owe the $315 that I owed they found a mastake on the states behalf and guess what they went send it to me. I have to go get it.

The SYSTEM is a joke...... by: Anonymous
I have beening fighting with the support sysyem for 5 years now. My ex-husband is ordered to pay directly through the support system and they garnish his salary but....he never works. I hold the medical insurance and take care of the kids 100%, he pays for nothing and buys noting and then has the nerve to comment on the way I dress them and take care of them. The support system says that he is still allowed to see them because money should have nothing to do with the ability of being a father, but if I couldn't take care of them then CPS would be at my door for nelect hmmm.....how does that make any sense what so ever.
They say the court will encarcerate him if he doesn't pay and they did once but it took over a year and 26 court appearance to make that happen. Every time I go to court they give him more and more chances to get things together they believe every undocumented excuse there is. I lapse on one thing and they crucify me and make me out to be the money hungry parent. I hate going there and being made out to be the bad parent when I am clearly the only parent there is.
I feel that lapsed in child support shoul dbe taken more seriously bythe court and the child support bureau I feel that it shoul dbe treated as a crime and I intend on finding the way on making that happen. I will not rest until this happens I want every custodial parent to be able tolive stress free and relaxed about things. The Department of Social Services makes light of this situation, my idea is that they should front us the money we are owed and then have themselves go after the money owed and then maybe just maybe they will see the wrong that all custodial parents are going through and how difficult and frustrating the situation is.
