Bitter you definitely are by: Anonymous
You are right in the fact that child support laws can be unfair sometimes.BUT when YOU have children YOU are responsible for them. It don't matter if your ex marries someone who makes more money than you. YOU laid down and had those children. YOU have to take care of them. Just because YOU may be having problems doesn't mean they stop getting hungry or needing things. Single mom's and dad's struggle all the time. I am a single mom and life has not been a picnic for me and my kids. The new husband/boyfriend of your ex is NOT responsible for YOUR children financially. You still have to pay whether you like it or not. If your ex's new boyfriend/husband decides to leave and he was paying for YOUR children's needs and you did not pay childsupport,YOUR children would suffer. YOU are obligated to ensure YOUR children's needs are taking care of. Your ex's new boyfriend/husband is not. I am not trying to offend you but I just had to be real.

Right on the Money? by: Anonymous
Your absolutly right and to those that don't agree sham on you! I have 3 children of my own, and the noncustiodal parent uses the money for herself! And you ask how do I know SHE DON"T WORK!!! Last christmas I bought my son an electric guitar. when I asked his mother to take care of the lessons $60 a month she SAID give me the money (I already pay her $400 a month in CS which just a few days ago they AG uped it to 787.41 a month for one child not even bothering to care about my other to children I support) Instead my girlfreind bought the lessons. Next when school began this yr my ex asked me to by the school clothes for our son and she would buy the school supplys. After my girlfreind and I bought the school clothes, we asked my son what kind of backpack he would like to let his mother know he said don't worry about it grandma bought all my school supplies. But the whole sad thing about this system is you can't take that info to court because we are invading the mothers rights that BS. SO I FEEL THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS A OVER HAUL OR DONE AWAY WITH BECAUSE ALL IT HAS TURNED INTO IS A WAY FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER HAD A JOB TO SIT ON THERE BUTTS AND LIVE OFF THE SYSTEM!!!!

Still need to pay by: Anonymous
I agree that it is wrong for the state to make money off from child support money, but I still think that you (or other non-custodial) parents should make their child support payments. My ex has told me for years that he can't afford to work and only does so when his income isn't reported. Yes, your ex could marry up, or you could find yourself unempolyed, but it is easy enough for you to go into court and have the amount adjusted. I don't agree with the thousands of dead-beat parents who wait around doing nothing until they owe thousands and thousands of dollars. One party is often the responsible one--paying school tuition, daycare, etc. Why should this parent be penalized?

Mr. Bitter by: Anonymous
Sir,
I stand with you. In my situation I lost my kids, my house, my job(thru medical retirement), and half of my retirement. My ex- remarried, lives in a six bedroom home, works maybe 20 hours a week, calls that a job. While I rent a room, work overtime, and risk paying more support, and basically cannot afford to set my life in order for about ten more years. Yes, the state is wrong collecting interest and federal tax funds to create another useless government STRONG ARM, its not about the kids. Someday the revolution will come and those agencies will be abolished. In the mean time, hang tough, and don't worry; change will happen.

States apply interest... by: Anonymous
Yes, Mr Bitter Man, states deposit collected funds in high-interest yielding accounts for a reason. Your ignorance is truly appalling. Maybe you should grow up and start being a man and paying your debts. Your children are hurting and you will some day answer to your Creator.

STOP AND THINK by: MELISSA
DID YOU EVER STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE MOM'S THAT ARE WORKING TWO OR THREE JOBS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO NOT PAY THEIR CHILD SUPPORT. BECAUSE THEY ARE MAD AT THE SYSTEM. YOU SAID YOURSELF YOU OWN A GREAT SUM OF MONEY. I'M NOT PUTTING YOU DOWN IN ANY WAY BUT I'M A SINGLE MOM WITH ONE CHILD AND I JUST GET DONE FIGHTING CANCER. I DEPEND ON THE SYSTEM TO HELP ME. I WORK A FULL TIME JOB AND I GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME. PEOPLE DON'T STOP TO THINK THAT JUST MAYBE THE PARENT THAT IS RASING THE CHILD HAS IT HARD. WE FEED,CLOTHES,PROVIDE A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD,MAKE SURE THE GRADES ARE UP,PAY FOR FIELD TRIPS, AND LUNCH. MUCH MORE BUT THEN WHEN MY SON GOES TO HIS DADS IT ALL FUN AND GAMES HE DON'T BUY HIM CLOTHES TO HELP ME OUT. AND GUESS WHAT HE PAY $260 A MTH FOR HIS SON. HIS DAY CARE IS $350 A MTH SO BEFORE YOU GO AND PUT THE SYSTEM DOWN STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE PARENTS THAT ARE TRYING TO BE FAIR AND STILL GET TREATED LIKE A DOOR MAT.
