The judicial system is very broken. It must be fixed.
There are four people who can do the job:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
Everybody thinks Somebody will surely do it.
It is a job Anybody can do. But Nobody is doing it.
At least I’m trying. What are you doing?

The judicial system is very broken. It must be fixed !
I am a woman and as a woman I know the the kind of one sided injustice that is awarded to us. I am custodial parent, but I am alson engaged to a non custodial parent. All father’s are treated like deadbeats.
Sadly, this kind of stuff goes on all the time.
Balance must be restored
I have done everthing that the courts have ask me to do, however they still treat me like a deadbeat father. I have 50% physical custudy of our 3 children, non the less my drivers lices is going to be suspended, because I felt begind on my child support (no Job). I was able to get a part time job as a driver. The judge order me to pay 100% of my eanings for child support. I ASK WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS OR THE BALANCE OF THE COURTS.
I’m still dealing with legal injustice and a grown son held by a pedophile father while living off of him for federal SSI fraud set in motion by the courts and publicly elected servants. The police are involved in the fraud and corruption as is the Dept. of Social Services in the county to allow the years of mental abuse to hold my son hostage, sexual abuse cover up, physical abuse for which I am wrongfully charged with a 50B for the past five years when it has no jurisdiction, but is kept in place to cover up the attorney who set this crime in motion when I hired her for our divorce in 1984 and has been in conflict of interest, legal error of the law and the appeal of all of our civil issues won by me in July 2000 and started illegally in 2001 to carry out the financial fraud using my parents life earnings. I refuse to give up until I expose another Phil Garrido on the east coast. Don’t have $5,000 to pay an attorney to restore the illegal guardianship used to take my son hostage for financial federal fraud in that the abuse exposed itself last year, but my grown son isn’t allowed to make call, get calls, see anyone or go anywhere by the threats and brainwashing by the pedophile pervert ex to try to use me for further falsified charges when I don’t live in the county and don’t have any jurisdiction with our cops to file charges against him for the abuse documented in my home by his father last year when he ran to me. Know any attorney who goes nationwide as we have a criminal forensic medical lab report by Duke Medical Center that documents the years of sexual abuse since my son was ten years old in 1993 to the present incest abuse, as well as a forensic psychologiist who evaluated my son to be competent and a near genius but suffering from post traumatic stress disorder by isolation and kidnapping and abuse that the cops allow to go on even when 911 reports to my ex’s apartment documents his abuse and those neighbors who have witnessed and listened to it for the past nine years as well as reports by my private detective from January 2005 to May 2007 that incited the false restraint order to keep me from my son while abusing me criminally using my son for the criminal sexual and financial exploitation that goes on today. I would love for any attorney who wants a case in sexual abuse and fraud by mental health, cover up going back to the high school in 1999 that covered up the abuse, police brutality and cover up of the abuse for the attorney who set this crime in motion from 1986 until last year when the fraud broke loose as well as my son but who is back into captivity with the BS by the cops ignorance, mental health malpractice by a psychiatrist using psycho meds to control my son and hold him hostage to the point of death, as well as DSS and those officials who allow this abuse of the injustice through the courts from years ago without any jurisdiction to move forward but corruption by the judges and public servants to cover up the crimes by the attorney who directed this hell in my life and that of my son held by a pedophile that belongs behind bars.

I agree the justice system is warped in MANY MANY ways. Sadly though it will be very difficult to get the Goverment to revamp the childsupport laws. Do realize that you will be asking the states to give up a Billion dollar a year revenue. The only way to FORCE them to change is to show the entire countries TAX Payers that it cost them and only them, over 100 billion dollars a year to wrongfully persecute FATHERS. Where does the cost come into effect 1: incarcaration 2: Food and shelter provided by state ( due to the father being in jail or homeless) and many more . Since 1986 when the Bradley Amendment to effect, realize this it cost the taxpayers 123.5 Trillion dollars…That’s right !! Imagine that…. Hey Obama here’s some extra money to blow up another country….. Well good luck.
I have 2 daughters and thank god for that , their not boys…. It’s a death sentence waiting to happen for boys. Girl’s if they choose to do so, just have kids. Make sure they are all different father’s minimum of 3. You won’t have to work a day in your life… easy money !!!! You need no ambition just find a few suckers (rich ones help the cause). Tell them you love them and hit your back and shout PAYDAY!!!!!!!!!! Sorry sounds horrible but really think about it. Make it harder on women to cash in. You’ll see a lot less childbirths ( population control) and women realizing hey i have to help support these kids. Yeah right. Buy stock in Chasity belts you be a millionaire. I ‘m not saying all women are like this … But for fun i took a small survey in a park in Boston. I asked 100 women exactly, who had children with them . What is your marital status? Beyond my own belief 92 out of 100 women were single or divorced collecting childsupport. When asked if it was enough they responded “NO” . When asked if they had a job a good percentage of the 92 women said “WHY” . So my point is this if you want to shape up this country and set a good example for our children. WE NEED CHANGE FAST.
Yeah, i think it’s wrong. I think what the other peole are trying to say is, we are setting a bad example for our youth. Remember they see and hear everything around them. Let’s not have them become bitter by the age of 12. They will end up with a poor outlook on life.
The Laws and Judges Destroy Families. Thanks to the Bradley Amendment we are set to fail. Some judges actually think the economy is ok and it’s easy to find work. Poor Souls Hell has a special place for them. I wonder what there mother’s think?
Darius nailed it exactly…. my ex had lawyers who use to frequent the bar where she worked helping her to exploit the system. I find it amazing that more fathers have not snapped and actually physically hurt people over the injustices that continue to occur. Event with the laws as is to determine the awards, why , why, why does the system not require any kind of accounting to prove that child support money is being used on the children….the custodial parent can do what ever they want with the money and force kids to go to the supporting fathers for more out of guilt for things they need/ want. I have no problem with paying support for my kids, I just want them to benefit from it.
Why does it only cost a custodial parent to provide for children?? not only do I give 50% of my income to support my kids-{A court order – no economic considerations} ] – and 30% to support the TAXES- leaving me homeless and broke- Now I am an ineffecticve parent- not there for the kids-because im working to maintain an earning capacity – It simply would cost alot less to support children if we didnt have to support social service emloyees-their pensions-benefits-and slew of entittlements dished out to the most inept and incompetant – socialistic leaches,,- The courts are about money and theyre own sustainability– not children and NOT JUSTICE
We agree the system has flaws….why does one child cost $400 a month to raise according to the system and another $800? Or $1000? Why isnt there an actual “cost” to raise a child? Here’s an idea ….
Take the cost of the support for the child, divide it in half…the mom & the dad shares 1/2 the expense. Whoever has custody gets a csea credit card that can only be used on the child(ren) for food, clothing. Itemization would be accounted for. No more check cashing in bars and carryouts…
And why should support fatten the ex’s savings account? Why should support buy the mom a new pair of shoes or pay for her vacation she isn’t even taking your kids on?
Well Gentlemen, it seems to be a lot of us guys out there that are fed up with the BS from the Goverment. I understand alot of us have huge amounts of anger built up. Trust me Violence is not the answer, that’s what they want us to do…. So what can we do? Well i have one…. It’s going to take time . We have to Protest ( i know 60′s flashblack) and sit on capital hill… I’m serious, what would they do if you have 1000 men ( IRONICALLY ) protesting. If they put us in jail, that justs draws the MEDIA .. That’s bad for them ( goverment ). So somebody has to listen.. We can’t settle for the oldest line ” It’s in the works ” BULLSHIT !!!! Again what do we have to lose. Some of us already spent time in jail, Others are homeless so those will have a place to sleep and food to eat with a roof over their heads…I don’t mean to make sound like club med….But again it beats eating out of a garbage can and begging for money and sleeping in the RAIN. Well stay tuned in here. I’ll follow with more of a detailed plan. Feel FREE to make suggestions all ideas are good ideas rigth now. Best of Luck to us ALL.
My story:
I was divorced almost 3 years ago after a 10-year marriage to a woman who was not only having an affair, but was also a practicing Wiccan (yes, my ex-wife really is a witch.)
I have been unemployed for 2-1/2 months after being laid off from a company that went through an 85% reduction in workforce due to a combination of defense cutbacks and a general economic downturn. This is the first time I have been without a job in 25 years.
Dayton Ohio is currently experiencing a greater than 13% unemployment rate. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to find employment in a 45-mile radius of my home.
My child support obligation is over $800 per month, and currently $187/month is being deducted from my unemployment compensation (which is the maximum amount allowable.) This leaves me $150/week (after taxes) to live on, which does not even cover my rent, let alone utilities and groceries. My ex, who is employed full time and has remarried, has not sent any verification of income or child care cost paperwork to the local CSEA.
The State of Ohio Child Support guidelines allow for a review for adjustment to the support obligation only once every 36 months; in certain cases a review may be conducted within the 36-month time frame. Two of those “certain cases” are: 1) If either party to the order has become unemployed or been laid off, and 2) If a change in the cost of child care results in a change of more than ten percent to the child support obligation based on the current child support guideline calculation. In my case, these 2 conditions have been met (My son was in day care until 2 years ago; it cost $90/week, which is why my obligation was so high.)
When I was laid off, I contacted the local CSEA. They sent me a packet of forms to fill out detailing the conditions of my unemployed status as well as the change in the cost of child care. I returned the forms 2 days after receiving them.
When I received my first unemployment payment, I nearly fell over when I saw that I was receiving such a small amount.
Numerous phone calls to the local and state CSEA only resulted in my being told repeatedly that the State CSEA has no mechanism to intervene at the county level, and the County CSEA told me repeatedly that they are understaffed and simply not able to handle the incoming requests for adjustments in a timely manner.
Finally, after 6 weeks of no results, I contacted my state representatives and state congressmen, as well as the Lt Governor’s office, with a plea to assist me in making certain that I am doing all that I can to have my case reviewed.
I do not know which office pushed the county CSEA to contact me, but I received a call from a lady who is apparently the only person in that office who reviews adjustment requests a few days later.
The course of that conversation led to the following:
1) She would review my request to determine if she would be sending me some more paperwork to fill out (verification of income.)
2) I was informed that I *should* have filed a request for review with the court when I was laid off, rather than going through the CSEA. This is directly opposite the instructions I was given from the CSEA when I called them on the day I was laid off, because “going through the court is a slow process, and could take 2-3 months.” She told me that she would have to have a meeting with their office to review such matters, because “she shouldn’t have told you that.”
3) She indicated that she could not find a record of my request from 2 years ago when I requested an adjustment when my son no longer required day care, even though another person at the CSEA had told me several weeks prior that my request from then had been declined due to my ex failing to request an adjustment as well as it falling within the 36-month time frame.
I received the new paperwork to fill out two days later, and returned it, along with all of the required supporting paperwork, the following day.
I received a reply a week later telling me that there would be a review at the end of July, a full 14 weeks after my initial call to the CSEA.
I want to be absolutely clear about something: I am not trying to get out of my support obligation.
That being said, I find that it is very sad that the CSEA does not seem to care about the non-custodial parent’s ability to stay afloat long enough to get back to work, is not able to give consistent direction to a parent who calls on their office… Should I have filed a request with the court, or should I have gone through the CSEA? That question is still up in the air, as I have received conflicting answers from the same office. I further think that it is a shame that an individual who is out of work and desperately looking for employment to be told repeatedly that the CSEA is understaffed and overloaded with work, and that my calling regularly to ask if I can do anything more than I have done, “does not make it get done any faster.” Being reminded that I am in arrears despite paying $750/month does not provide any more motivation than I already have in my search for a job.
The Bradley Amendment has been held in front of my face as a reminder that I am essentially guilty of not paying my full obligation, and that two years of paying for child care that was not an expense during that time does not entitle me to being reimbursed (although I never requested to be).
The sad truth of all of this is this:
Because of the CSEA being unable to assist me in following the proper course from the very beginning, and due to a lack of adequate staffing, I am now facing a very tough decision. I must decide how much of my belongings to sell off simply to afford to pay for the cost of moving in with my parents. This will put me nearly 3 hours away from my son. With little league and cub scouts, I currently spend 3 nights a week with him, as well as weekends. The amount of support I am required to pay despite being unemployed makes it impossible for me to live here any longer. Most of the time I spend with him will have to come to an end.
Had the CSEA followed the “certain cases” exceptions in a timely manner, I am certain that the situation I am in now would be far less critical than it has become. Perhaps not a complete reversal of the situation, but certainly a better chance for me to stay in this area. But as it stands, I am about to become the stereotypical “every other weekend dad” and leave my son missing me and the time that we are able to spend together.
I simply cannot see how an agency who is tasked with protecting the best interests of a child can allow for this situation to develop simply because of a staffing issue and the inability of every person there to give the same answer to the same questions, while his mother, remarried to a real estate king and living in a new house in a gated community in an exclusive neighborhood, has barely seen the slightest change in the income I am providing her.
Sorry for ranting, but it is simply heartbreaking to me that the enforcement agency exists only to enforce an impossible burden on a parent, rather than looking at what is best for the children it claims to represent.
Thank you.
Dear Martin H. I am so sorry for your plite however you are just one of the other examples of men being abused in this country. Don’t know what state you are in but If in Texas good luck. I should say be glad you are not in Texas they are evern worse . The city of San Antonio tx is absolutly the worst. The judges are not in tough with reallity. They follow their own rules forget the law . I dont know the answer but to all of you out their I will say do this if not already doing . Live only on a cash basis , have no 401k or cash it out. Do not own any property or non exempt items such as boats , motocycles etc. They will take it. And to the men out their if you have a great job and paying childsupport. Remember you could lose your job anytime. If so take heed to what I say . Been their, done that.
Looking for help or resources.
My boyfriend just found out that he has a 13-year-old daughter. He submitted to a DNA test in February and his paternity was confirmed in May. He never knew that she was pregnant and it appears that she has been living on welfare in Missouri since 2003 (hence the impetus of the child support suit). He is to appear in court next week here in Colorado to settle the child support issues. What are his rights? Because the mother is on welfare and he is a respected business person with a 27 year career, does he stand any chance on fighting the mother for custody? Moreover, what rights do her or the state of Missouri have for back or present child support?
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide.
