I am 22 years old and I have a 2 year old a 1 year old and a 3 month old. Needless to say my high school sweetheart and my then husband left me for my best friend...they are now married and she is with child. He works for her parents and scams the system...having them make his checks out to her. I told the state about this and they cant do anything! I haven't received a penny in months! Even though I am only ordered to get less than $200 a month! On three kids!! That doesn't even buy me diapers. He denies paternity on my youngest so I have to wait for the state to help with the DNA test...which is taking forever!!!!!!!! I had to fac in a bunch of papers...I did. and still nothing! On top of that I said he couldn't see the kids because of his violent past, alcohol abuse and drug use...and the lack of child support payments...AND I GOT HELD IN CONTEMPT! ME!! I think the attorney generals office is a joke. I am a college student and we are having to write an essay about something we feel strongly about...
Mine is the attorney general child support division!
Child support and vistitation do not go hand in hand. The father will get his visitation, even if he does not pay his child support. The minute you deny him his rights you will be held in contempt.
Ask the CSE to subpoena the bank accounts and the payroll records of your X and his employers to see monies transferring hands and not reported. Ask that they lien bank accounts, real estate and personal property attached to your x. If the non-custodial is working for his new inlaws and they are not reporting his earnings, then they are in violation of the law as an employer. A tax ID # and social security # should be attached to all earnings. If they are in complicity of hiding earnings, then they need to be investigated and penalized under the law.

I'm a young mother, 24 with a 6, 3,2 and 6 month old and I hate that because of bad woman that take advantage of the system that a good one has to suffer. I had two kids form a different man wasn't married and haven't lost a penny!! Thank God!!! but I met and fell in love with a wonderful man that truly loves my kids and takes care of us so well. He is my first and only husband!!! He has child support chasing after him but he has done right and they screwed him over. He met a girl out of state right out of high school and out of wanting to fit in hooked up with the whore of the town. He was still a virgin and only knew her for 4 months. when he came back to Texas she called and said she was pregnant and she was only going to keep it for child support. He was just happy that he had a child. This was in 04. She came to visit him in 05 only to get his social security number for child support then left without saying a word for over a year. As soon as she found out he moved in with me she harassed us constantly. He paid all his back child support plus some and Texas tried to say he owed $1800 more. And they took money away from my kids to give to her so now I am doing everything to keep him from paying her. See he doesn't deserve this we tried to work with the oag after he lost his job but they acted like they didn't care. He is an excellent father and I work and hold down a business just to protect him from her and I will till I die. Because she is a lost cause that doesn't deserve a penny. And for what happened to you is wrong that ex of yours will be punished but not from the state. I believe if my husband was so wrong he would get punished too but God knows otherwise. I would help some one like you any day. But not a broad that does drugs and only cares about herself. I fight for whats right and in your case it was wrong. There are deadbeat dads but there are also dead beat moms too. And will be rewarded in life because you take care of your kids just remember that.

I'm sorry by: Anonymous
I don't want to sound rude in any way. First off 3 children and your only 22. You kids these days need to realize that all of you need to live your life before bringing a child into this world. Yes children are a gift from God but come on you as a collage student yourself should relize that it is hard going to school and raising children. Now for you ex he should be punished, but he also is not mentally ready for children. I also bet after awhile he will be tired of this girl to. I want to tell you congrates on going to collage stick with it, yes its going to be hard but, in the long run you can get a great job and provide a better life for you children this childsupport system is very flawed for people on both sides of the fence.
