I'm just guessing that you owe at least one child back support. Or, you don't have children. If you have children, you have a duty to take care of them, however that is. Wether that be emotional, physical, or financial. If you think about it, the amount of child support a non-custodial parent pays is really nothing near what the custodial parent puts toward their children every month. An example: A non custodial parent is ordered to pay $200 per month for 1 child. That's supposed to pay half their expenses for one month. What does a child have for expenses? Does a child need food, rent, electricity, water, heat, basic utilities, clothing, medicine, health insurance, shoes, school supplies. Now the extra's, that is if we have any extra of that $200 left over, we are only paying half of the aforementioned mind you. We have: allowance, pool pass in the summer or other recreation, bicycle, toys, video games, pets, telephone, cable television (kid hate watching on air channels like we did growing up), hobbies, and the one some of us don't want to think of, the car when they get old enough. Now, the custodial parent, may make, say 1,400 a month. Now even if it is just the parent and the child, that still would put the custodial parent paying a much greater share of the childs living expenses. So I really don't understand your arguement about "getting over it". The custodial parent has been supporting the child(ren) most/all of their life. Most, not all, custodial parents do use child support to pay bills or purchase food or clothing for their child. I know a commonly used arguement for not paying is either "I don't want to pay their bills" or "I'll buy the things they need". This would be fine if you would be willing to pay portions of electric bills, grocery bills, clothing, etc... without saying what it goes for or making comments on how much it was that month. Most non-custodial parents are, quite frankly, not capable of this. The child support system was put in place to keep parents off of the welfare system, by encouraging non-custodial parents to NOT pay,you are encouraging more parents to go on welfare. Is that what you are encouraging??? I think so! Enjoy losing your tax dollars, because you want someone to "GET OVER IT!!".

I can't believe that you lower yourself too chasing this man for a few pennies. Women need to learn to raise these your kids own your own, if the father doesn't want to be bothered. One day you women will learn to "do it for yourself". There is NO LAWS that can force anybody too take care of someone. They may write them to get a vote, or too please the women movement groups, but they don't have the resources too chase all the non-custodial parents that don't pay their support. I might have had more pity for you, if you didn't say that you were re-married. May I ask you a question: What type of Husband/Step-Father do you and your kid(s) have? When my new wife was getting child support and it got too nasty, I tore up the last child support check, and sent it back with a letter stating that We as a Family did not need his money. That I would take care of OUR CHILDREN alone. I can't believe that your husband is allowing you too chase this man for his pocket change. Maybe it's not about the "money", maybe it's about "HIM". It sounds like too me that you married on the "REBOUND". It like this your EX deserves too have a new life of his own, just as much as YOU do. Stop writing these reports on him, and consentrate on your FAMILY. I doubt he is thinking about you or his child as much as it seems like you are thinking about how to catch him. LEAVE HIM ALONE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN, WITH. GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE, AND GET OVER IT. LEAVE HIM WHERE HE IS, IT WILL HURT HIM MORE TOO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GETTING ON WITH LIFE. IF HE SEES THIS REPORT YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING LAUGHING AT YOU. GEORGE W. BUSH has just cut the funds for catching these parents by more than 50%, so the adds of you getting anything in this life time is moot. Go and Raise your kids with your, and have a NICE LIFE, I know it's going too be hard, but he seems too not care very much about his son looking like him, and what does this have too do with him supporting him. Stop being pressed for him, and find someone else too love you and your son. Your not hurting your EX with this support order, your only hurting your son. I bet if there was no order in place, he would still be involved with his son. You must understand that He's not going to jail for you or his son, so now your son will be raised not know his father. I hope that the little bit of "support" that you asked for was worth them not seeing each other. You claim to have re-married he also has the right too re-start his life too. Most high-school sweethearts don't make it, because you were young. Your case is a prime example of why kids shouldn't have kids. The only one that is being hurt because you too thought you were in love is: YOUR SON, PERIOD!

i need to get in touch with other people like me who are having a problem with supportkids. can contact me thru this site care of the editor? as they wont let us put in our e-mail address. i have contacted the state att.gen of nevada and texas, i have contacted sentors of nevada and texas,i have contacted federal trade comm. and i got a copy of the papers i signed after i kept asking supportkids for months for them....looking over them there is a out...go to texas st. att.gen site..look for the REVOCATION OF AUTHORIZATION OF INFORMATION/PAYMENTS..form is 1A005.. fill out, get notarized,send one to your local D.A.s office then one to texas to st. attorney general office. it will stop supportkids from taking your child support. what it does is sign your child support back to you and you can collect it again..also in checking out,federal guide lines say that because its a federal program that the D.A.s office is to get the money first then send it on..what supportkids do is go around the D.A.s office and get a wage attachment and get the company to send the money to them instead of the D.A.s office like federal guide lines say to do.now contact your local news with the story..save your money,we are strugling parents raising our kids need every dime..use what we can find and share,also there is a site where you can read about patricia zipperer,she sued support kids,she won,in wisconsin circuit court,county of manitowoc.. case number 30106 24 pages of good information..first cause of action fraud in the inducement,second cause of action-breach of fiduciary duty,3rd cause of action-violation of texas deceptive trade practices-consumer protection act. now as for you i am not sure what you did,did you get back support they took? or are you just now getting your monthly support with out support kids taking there cut of 34%? by the way just to let you know ,support kids said they opened a case in texas for me so they could get the att.general of texas to send the child support check to supportkids...guess what? there is no case filed in texas,as D.A.s office and i both called and found out..strange huh? out of the 15 or so companys that do the service of child suport like supportkids i would say at least 10 or more are in texas..hum? does the state hide these business? and in looking, the ceo of the company was on prez bush's transition team when he took office..hum,so how far does this scam reach and who is getting there pockets lined with child support that is getting ripped off? meanwhile we the parents are getting the short end,as the D.A.s office doesnt want to do anything and it takes getting sentors and governor and others to lit a fire under there seats to get them to help. i am lucky to have a person in the D.A.s office that is helping me and that really is trying to help. As they where telling me prior that they where going to close my case and they cant geeet me a raise in child support or insurance for the kids as long as i have another agency in the picture..its like they are mad at us for looking for help to collect the child support because federal program isnt working..we get told there is 200 cases our case worker has and guess what we are just 1 of the 200..so in other words they are over worked and dont have the man power to trace down dead beat parents. so dont give up hope..i am a jewish mom, i believe in faith and god,good people as well. and i will not let these people rip off my boys..its been 5 months but its coming to a end..keep in touch
