TX LAWS FOR CHILD SUPPORT SUCKS! Get Real Greg Abbott!!

by L Pastrano
(Austin, TX)

I'm a custodial parent of a child that recently stopped receiving child support. Needless to say this deadbeat father that lives in Elgin hasn't seen our son since he was 3 years old. He's now.... 15!

I recently went into one of the office here in Austin to speak with a CS Officer because I never get any updates from them regarding my case. I wonder if OAG is really there for the non-custodial parent or the child?

I spoke with an officer there and concluded with this 'FACT'. (As I sat there in tears) Texas State laws feel as long as a non-custodial parent pays child support at least 4 times a year that is sufficient. How have I come up with this determination you ask? If a non-custodial parent that owes child support stops paying child support they will then get a letter from OAG. They give them 30 days to respond to this letter. And if they don't respond within those 30 days, they send another letter giving them another 30 days. If they still don't respond.... they send a third letter giving them another 30 days to respond. And think about this... if that non-custodial parent sends in 'a check' for 'one payment' within that 90 days window they are off the hook. And then the cycle can begin again. So in actuality, the non-custodial parent can get away with paying child support 4 times a year and stay out of jail and out of court. DOES THIS SEEM FAIR?? But this is Texas Laws for you. This is a disgrace, no wonder we have so many crimes against children.... they don't have any rights or no one to stand up for them. But we as society wonder why our children are into crimes and wonder down the path of destruction. Well heck, they don't stand a chance without appropriate financial backing. So Texas leaves it up to the single parent that's trying to raise their child(ren) on a single income or one that's working two jobs to make ends meat.

It's true.... this is a man's world, because if it was a woman's world, this probably wouldn't happen. Lord knows we need a man to be a hero and stand up for these children! GOD HELP THEM.

The state cares nothing about fathers, mothers OR children!
by: Anonymous

Having to deal with the insanity of the TXOAG is bad for naerly anybody. Who wins when the parents are pitteed against each other in court, the judges are bound by what's "politically correct" instead of what's best for the child, and the state only cares about the almighty matching federal funding they recieve?

NOBODY BUT THE WORTHLESS ATTORNEYS, THE ARROGANT JUDGES AND THE STATE of TX! THE BIG LOSERS ARE CHILDREN AND PARENTS!

There are too many fathers that are not allowed to see their children, and the judges are too biased to enforce their own worthless visitation orders.
It's "politically correct" to give mothers custody even when proven unfit. If too many fathers are getting a fair hearing in court, the wrath of the local feminist organizations (which runs the system) come down hard on the head of justice.

There has too be a better way to do things. There has to be some way to stop the bleeding of the American family, the waste of throwing away decent fathers and some way to stop the destruction of the children.

It's all a matter of money all along the filthy government line. Nothing else matters.

My family has been destroyed by the corrupt TX family court system. It's like a nightmare that never ends, the suffering never stops.
Parents, don't put your children in the hands of the entity that LEAST cares about them. Work together in your divorce to do what's right for your children. Don't let the corrupt system make those decisions for you.

I disagree with anon person
by: Michele

You are saying that we don't spend a fraction of what the father pays on our kids? Sheesh how much do YOU pay? I only get 185 a month and he can't even keep up with that. And let me tell you, 185 pays for maybe a week! Of food... and kids need more than food! BUT, her father comes to see her every weekend. He's court ordered to see her every other week, but he comes every week. He has 2 other children to take care of... in my eyes he chose to have those kids and if he can't afford all 3 kids he shouldn't have popped out the second two. Even so I'm understanding. I don't complain to him about his lack of payments. As long as he's there for my daughter I'm fully capable of taking care of her finacially myself. Without gov. Assistance I might add. TOO many people are having kids they can't afford and I think it's ridiculous. Our kids suffer because we are irresponsible, and they learn from us and do the same when they grow up. "It's ok to live on food stamps child support alimony and have as many kids as you want because you get PAID for it" it's a bad message. It's not only texas that sucks, it's the whole United States! We are brought up to be stupid.Also that whole "every 3 years you go back to court to assess your case and end up paying more money" that's your ex's doing. It's an OPTION to do so. I disregard the option, we've only been to court once and it was because he hadn't paid in a year. My daughter is 6 btw. But to your post, yes I agree. Texas is lacking to help our children. They are not put first. My ex got a letter in the mail stating that if he did not make a payment within 5 days they were going to have a court hearing. In his letter they complained MORE about him owing for the state for medical insurance than it complain about his back child support. They care about their interest and the money THEY get rather than the money owed to the child. Some of these mothers were stay at home moms and when their husbands left are now screwed. Those mothers actually need the money to help rais the kids and the fathers aren't paying. And who cares? No one.

Overboard
by: Anonymous

TX laws do suck. If you are a hard working father that pays child support 100% of the time, sees his son almost as much as the mother 60/40, then why should one be raked over the coals every 3 years to have more money taken out. The mother dosnt even spend a fraction of the cash the father spends in child support. He must scrounge around to survine, exhaust all his credit in hopes that the next raise will be enough for him to survive, only to be taken back to court and ordered to pay even more rediculous amounts of money. Although she can now drive around in a luxury SUV while he cant he even afford to take his son out to eat in his 200k+ mile vehicle. Seems like the real focus is being lost...

I Pay My Child Support
by: JORGE GUTIERREZ

I pay my child support and try to stay current, which I've done so far. I have a problem; this lady doesn't get paid child support or the father doesn't even want to see his kid...I totally disagree with the Father's Action. I in the other hand am not allowed to see my 3 year old son, and I've taken San Antonio Police with me at the time of visitation, I've contacted Legal Aid, I've consulted several lawyers who charge and arm and a leg, and yes, I have a court order that allows me to see my son. This lady has destroyed my feelings by not letting me see my son, the son that has my name and that I love with all my heart. The law can't do nothing for me unless I pay a lawyer like 2,500 dollars. Why do I have to pay again if I already have a court order? Why can't the police department do anything if the mother is in direct violation of a court order? That is a bad combination; I guess it's all about money and not about the well being of our children. This is so stressful and this lady gets away with things like that. She also has a daughter from a different man who does not let him see her aswell; and still the law can't do nothing. God Bless and Protect our children.
