Child Support isn't nothing but BS!!!!!!

I am currently owed about $20,000.00 in child support. I have not recieved a dime in over 2 yrs now. And has anything been done about it? No! The only thing that has been done is a couple of court dates has been set here & there and he never shows up. So he gets an attachment for contempt of court put on him. Then it take a yr for him to be caught. So he goes to jail for about 3-4 days, gets out, pays some money, is posed to show up for court the following day after he gets out of jail, does not show up (of course), the cash bond gets forfeited, and do I get the money after the child support office clerk tells me I do. No! I do not.

I called again today, and was told that I do not get that money, that the clerk was misunderstood, and that money is added on to his arrearages. So what, they could add another $20,000 to them. But it is still not going to get me anything. He was just in jail, and I was told today that he has had an attachment for contempt of child support on him for quite a while. Well, why wasn't anything done while he was in jail over that? I do not understand the child support law. I work, raise 2 kids, only 1 is his, he does not help none.

I can not afford to hire a private attorney. And nothing is done to him! He gets out of everything! EVERYTIME!!! The child support law plainly states, "The law does not care if a non-custodial is unemployed, filing for bankruptcy, or even homeless, child support must be paid and will be enforced." But is that really true? Well, I myself do not believe it is. And I have also been told from the child support office that it is my job to find out where he works, my job to find out his address.

Is that not their job? I thought that they were the ones to get paid for that. He lives not even 5 minutes up the rd from me and has all the attachments out for him, and still nothing is EVER done about it! Child support is nothing but bs anymore. Why say that you enforce all the laws when nothing is enforced? I do not understand it. At all!
