Frustrated Payer

I will tell this reality from a non-gender basis. Why is the Attorney General so interested in child support? Due to federal monies the state gets for each child support case it gets. Regardless of how well off either party is. So what happens if the parent getting child support refuses to allow parenting time? Nothing. That person has to hire an attorney, while still sending child support. It is for the kids, we are told. I say BS to that. Children deserve both parents. No one got pregnant alone. The primary conservator has all the power to manipulate the circumstances. My case, I have had to take my ex (who left the marriage) to court multiple times, as well as fight alleged abuse multiple times. All the while, support payments continue. My personal expenses just on enforcement have exceeded close to $100,000. Until judges take the crime of refusing contact (including telephone) when a court order exists, then it will never change. Why doesn't the offense alienation get punished? The courts get money. So now you have individuals who can have a decent income pushed to the brink of losing everything and being indigent by this total unfair system of law. What do I have to show for the past 13 years? Nothing. I have no relationship with my oldest daughter (who is now 19) because of all the exposure to bad mouthing, lies, manipulation, and alienation. I would have been better off if I would have just from the get go not cared. It is worse than death when you have children who are alive, yet don't consider you for jack. The other parent has had three other marriages and all those have failed. Who are the children encouraged to foster a relationship with - an ex step parent. Now that is sick and disturbing. All the while, I still pay. I am 100% disabled and how many phone calls do I get asking how I am? None, nill, zero. So, there you have my experience. The system in it's entirerty is a sham.

We Need
by: Rjamison331

We need to petition, this so call system is out dated and has not a care in the world for what's going on. They are suppose to grant the noncostodial parent who's living amongst the Federal poverty level a stay of the child support order until further notice, but they don't. But if you walk in there with a lawyer and point this out it's going to cost you, unless you have a great or knowledgable Public appointed attourney. I can go on with this but it won't solve our problem, we need to petition the system for what theyu are doing to people live's.

other side

That really stinks and I'm sorry you dont get to see your kids. I think as long as both parents are putting the children's best interest and health FIRST that it is best to have both parents actively involved. There are always two sides to every story.

I'm on the other side though. I am a custodial parent-my ex husband kicked my daughter and myself out of the house while i was on bed rest with OUR son because he was having affairs and wanted out. We lived in a different state from our entire family and hadn't lived there long.

I offer for him to call the kids (in 14 mo he has done this ONCE) and have offered to drive 10 hours to him so he can see the kids ON MY DIME after I drove there he didn't want to see the kids.. The rare occasion he does show up I have offered him extra time with the kids. I have not yet allowed over-night visits which the court supports me on as does our custody agreement. He is dealing with sex addiction and has put our toddler girl in some very bad situations. Our daughter also has serious medical conditions. As of this month those EXTRA visits wont be happening anymore because he is not following our daughter's medical treatment program during visits and flat out told me he "doesn't care if he hurts the kids".

I do all of this and yet I don't get reimbursed for medical expenses, not receiving child support, get harassing phone calls from him and his girlfriends and there is nothing I can do. He has a stable job with steady income-he's military. My daughter comes home sick after every visit and screams when I tell her she has to go. SHE"S TWO! So the courts don't always help the custodial parent out either. People tend to forget that part.
