Texas Attorney General are anti-male

by Average Guy
(Texas)

They need to be doing it better. After all, guess were the former Attorney General is? In Prison! They are very anti-male and biased. I was originally assessed when I was making about 100K per year in the technology field.

Since then all of the technology jobs have been outsourced to India, Eastern EU etc. and I'm now making 25K per year and in school full-time while working full time. The Texas Attorney General said that's not good enough and they still continue to make me pay as though I were making 100K per year which means if I bring home 1,000 dollars evey two weeks I see about 120.00. I can't pay bills, make my rent or a car payment. How am I supposed to keep paying child support if I can't drive my car to work? How am I supposed to receive training to get a better job in a different field if I can't drive my car to school? How about making rent? How about paying car insurance and buying food?

The Attorney General could care less. It was the AG that helped cause my current divorce by placing so much financial stress on our family it wasn't even real.  They are useless politicians that could care less about families. It's an empty slogan. They see men as cash registers that wear trousers.


Texas AG Doesn't have the Best Reputation... They are anti-male

I agree

The Texas AG is only for the moms...they don't care that my daughters mom wont let me have my court ordered visitation but they certainly will go after dads for child support. My daughters mom will not work and yet with child support and all the public assistance she is making more money than me.
Children should be a gift not a paycheck!

The other side
by: Anonymous

It is not only always fair for the custodial parent or just the mom. I lived for 7 years only getting 25 dollars a month child support for two children because my ex wouldn't get a job. It was to hard for him to work because he was going to college. I do not feel a man should pay based on what he made previously if he lost his job for reasons he could not control. In other words if he lost his job because of downsizing or his company went out of business as long as he tried to find a job in his field where he could be making the same amount of money or close to that. I now get 401 dollars a month. After the first month my ex quit his job. Luckily they are taking my child support still from him. He may struggle but I have struggled with my girls for 7 years and am still struggling. I live with my parents because I can't afford rent. I pay 300 dollars to have my daughter on my insurance at work and I am about 60,000 in debt in past medical bills for her which the state will not make him pay. It does go both ways.

They get paid on how much they collect. It is totally unfair. In my case only the divorced kids matter and not mine. The government needs to take both parents income into consideration to decide how much one parent should pay. Good luck.

Be glad we have a system at all.

No system is perfect. Change happens but takes time. Could be worse. Could be much worse. You have the duty to learn your own rights.

Male Custodial Parent
by: Laurie Kaemmer

Er...

Does this same rediculous crap apply to men that have custody? In other words, do the women get nailed as hard?

I agree, the system needs re-adjusting. Your kind of situation really does tend to make the bitterness take over and not pay just for simple spite. There should be ways they should help instead of being so cold in this issue. I understand the payment part, but it needs to be where both parties can survive. It needs to be more personal, instead of using one law for one person.
