The state is not helping itself
My story.... my husband is being forced to pay more than we can afford to pay so that my two kids and I have to do without. We even sat without electricity for a month because we couldn't afford to pay our bills and what the court is ordering him to pay. They never gave him the DNA test he asked for because we couldn’t afford a lawyer. He is father by default because he was in another state and couldn't make the court hearing. The mother doesn't even want the case open anymore or the back pay so that she can have the child adopted by the man she knows as daddy, but the state refuses to close it. I don't see how that is in the best interest of the child or the state. I mean, really, they pay us more back in the form of welfare as food stamps and medicate for my kids. How does taking a man's license and professional licenses away help? Then he really can't afford to pay. Plus, charging more than he can afford hurts everyone more in the long run, including the state. Thank God, he got appointed a lawyer that is helping us get his rights terminated according to the mother's wishes!
