Mom is getting SUCKED dry
My sister had her kids stolen from her by her ex. He took her to divorce court via the phone and was given custody of their two kids and one of hers that is not even his! She is on SSI, makes not even $600 a month to live on. The state of AZ pulls out $300 a month in child support, and we just found out that it is going up on the 1st! After her share of her rent is paid (on a HUD voucher), she has $120 a month left to pay phone, power, incidentals, and groceries... So, her ex no longer has the kids, they are in foster care in CA. We live in WA state... She has not been allowed to see the kids in eight years, and has just in the last month regained phone contact for the first time in almost 4 years... Why can't she have her kids? Why is she paying support to her ex when he no longer has these kids? Why is the state of AZ allowed to take OVER 50% of a disabled and poverty stricken woman's income? My sister has clearly been preyed upon by the state! She has no problem paying support for her kids. She wants them to have things they need and want, but for the love of all that is GOOD, she will be on SSI for the rest of her life! Take LESS out for a longer amount of time if you must collect back support!!!
