| I'm part of a group that just started up a site for parents and children who don't receive child support. They are recruiting to get a group together that wants to promote and participate in making an income for ourselves through internet sales, marketing and donations and advertising....spreading the word through ourselves, friends, family and networking. The hope is to generate income to distribute to the families that need them. The child support system doesn't work for those of us that don't receive help from the NC parents. The concept is rather than waste time with things we cannot change,..we can ban together to make a self supported income that would go back to us so we can be there for our kids instead of petitioning the courts for years on end with no results and working two jobs and waiting for a miracle to occur. If you're interested in getting involved the name of the site is Child Support Angels Network. The site should be live in a few days. It is intended to be a group effort so everyone can promote, submit ideas and bring others on board. ↑ |

| If his child support is reduced, it wouldn't hurt to ask if he could pay half for his kids activities. All he can say is no. Since you used the word NASTY to describe your ex, you shouldn't get your hopes up. The main thing is to ask nicely. If he says no, maybe you'll have to cut back on 1 activity but not all. ↑ |

| If he,s a reasonable man,and it sounds like he is,just tell him you can,t afford it and let him step up and offer help.By him going to the events he,s showing interest.Thats the first step,and attends most or all the events he should be interested to want to keep it up. ↑ |

| I just wondered if anyone knew where I could find info about what exactly child support covers in the state of Utah. My ex and I actually have joint custody, but I'm the primary care provider. They are with me about 2/3 of the time and him 1/3 of the time. We have two kids and he pays $500.00 per month plus half of day care and medical expenses. He has taken the stance that now that he pays child support he refuses to pay for ANYTHING else. My understanding is even if he pays child support when they are with him he still has to provide for them since we have joint custody. He refused to even use his own clothes for the children when they are with him. I have to pack for them and send my clothes. He won't pay a dime more than his "child support" ↑ |

| will child support force my babies father to look for a job? He had been unemployed for a year. He was fired and he received unemployement benefits for 7mos. Now he just sits at home and sells his stuff on ebay for money. He is in no rush to get a job. Will the court force him to search for a job?? ↑ |

| i strongly beleive what ever parent has the children should be responsible for what ever there activitys are.and i also think if the child gets into trouble that the parent who has custody of he child should be responsible for him or her.not the one paying child support.if the parent who has custody of the children cant afford these things as far as there activities and and what ever else they need then i beleive that the children should be with the other parent..i know peope who pay child support.and never get there visitations.the child gets into trouble with the law the father has to answer for it.why should he have to answer to it.his x-wife dont let him see his child.if the paying parent should have to answer or pay the depts for this then that parent should be able to have full custody.not the one who cant take care of them. ↑ |

| I am 20 years of age with a (2) years old son. His father have paid child support only (4) times since our son been born. I have filed court paper through the state in Sept 2008, but still awaiting on court date. I had to file a Police report on the father a couple of times due to the father choking me, threating me at my home, father wants to fight or sending ugly text messages to my phone. I did not want to leave my child in the father care...with all of that said, I stop visitation right to the father in Jan 2009 due to I was afraid of him including what he may do to me & our child. This week, the father went & file through the court visitation right & stop me from moving. I am worry that he will try to take our child and run. I do not trust him! I will probably get serves some papers, however, I am only looking out what best for our child. What next...I can not afford an attornoy. I getting ready to move back with my parents because I am tired of the drama with the father. My child is always first in my life including his safety. Need Advice ↑ |

Was wondering if anyone knows if it's normal that a Guardian at Litem would request a parent to sign-off on medical release forms so they could contact each physician?
In addition, has anyone ever hired a financial accountant to do a background check on their ex-boyfriend? ↑ |

| It would be nice to have them help with the other things but mine always pulls out his violins and sings the same old song about how he's broke and cant help. Fine! Ok now the kids have activities on the weekends and don't like to go to his house because his idea of time with him means learning a new trade. My son is 15 and he involved in an innovations accademy and enjoys going on field trips and going to school baseball games on the weekend. Should he have to be made to go to his dads? Now my ex is taking me to court again to reduce his already reduced childsupport because he feels he should not have to support them if they don't come and stay at his house. That is not the only reason they don't go. It's someting about him. He repells them. ↑ |

| Wow reading some of these post's really makes my stomach turn.. I know in some of these cases the dad prolly is a dead beat and the comments made are warrented.. But i have 50/50 parenting time and only make like 5K more a year than my ex.. I have to pay her 470.00 a MONTH in support.. She is running off on weekend trips, always getting her hair done, nails done, lives in a 150K condo with a new car and is ALWAYS going to the mall.. Now.. Here is sit living pay check to pay check trying to be a good father to my daughter.. You tell me how thats not just as wrong as those dads who dont pay or have anything to do with their kids?? We BOTH created our daughter and SHE choose not to work it out but yet I seem to be the one holding the bag. Bottom line if you have 50 /50 parenting time the ONLY thing that should matter is day care and medical.. Anything above that it should be worked out... If that was our arrangment and i paid her a FAIR amount and my daughter needed something extra for school and asked me.. I would not hesitate to help her! And thats my point.. HELP MY DAUGHTER not my ex........... When we went in for the support order in 06 she told me "she would be lucky to get 40.00 a week" and they gave her like 105.00.. I have never seen a person sign papers as fast as she did...... ↑ |

| Well from a dads point of view times get very hard, we pay when the child or children is not with us and we pay again when thy come on visitation, imy lil girl is 10 in sports and i am asked to get whatever gear is required for that sport, now paying child support should cover that right? After all if she lived with me i would not ask for a dime from her mom, y cant it just be as simple as ill supply what she needs while with me and you supply what she needs when with you, i have come to realize its a money issue and fathers get the shaft ↑ |

| Just put them all in jail thats societys answer to all child support problems. The non custodial parent goes to jail the children still get nothing the state pays to feed and house them in jail and the custodial parent who can't see past thier anger and vengance gets to be satisfied.WOW what a solution to the child support problem.The commonwealth of Virginia set a record in 2007 for incarserating the most non custodial parents for not paying child support but they also set the record for the most custodial parents not geting any child support for the duration of jail time which was somewhere between 6 months to a year.This was hardly a solution to the problem.Also let us not forget to mention although it probablly won't draw any compassion but there was no seperation of jail population meaning child support offenders served thier time with robbers,killers,rapists,etc.Also child support offenders served full time with no release for good behavior as where child molesters would get out early and be back on the street usually in 45 days.Some system we have here.Child support enforcement is nothing more then vigilanty bounty hunters only wanting to enjoy the chase and the catch feeling satisfied in so called doing thier job.Heres a good Idea how about offering to help the non custodial parent aquire a good paying job in order to meet thier child support obligations why not we do it for people getting public assistance from the state and also violent crime ex cons. ↑ |
