i have 3 kids that their father owes more than 14,000 dollars which i will never see. He lives in GA now and enrolled in some fatherhood program. That's just buying him time to not pay child support. He works a job and quits. What a loser.

I'm so sorry that you have to bear the brunt of financial responsibility in raising your children..........Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot you can do, but dead beat dads DO go to jail in Ohio.......Not sure about where you live, dear........Keep fighting the good fight and hold your head up high........You have much to be proud of.........

That really pisses me off. I know so many people men and women both that don't own up to their resposibility. I didn't ask for child support (like something stupid) when I got a divorce, but the father is supposed to keep insurance and help with doctor bills. Never has. He won't hardly work either. If he finds a good job he finds some reason to quit. My daughters stepfather keeps insurance on her. Isn't that sad, that her stepdad does that for her when it's her fathers place. And my stepsons mom barely even calls or sees him. Nov. of last year she just up and disappeared for a month, and didn't call or anything. How can people do their own kids like this? You know the bad thing? Someone that really tries will get took to court quicker than some deadbeat parent.

What about the loser parents who have custody and don't use the money on the child? That is the thing that really gets me. When the parent pays the child support and it doesn't go to the child. My husband paid his child support on time every time and his ex-wife used it for herself. His daughter never had nice clothes or toys but the momma had her brand new Tahoe.
And have you tried the child support collections. A lot of times if it brought up to the attention of the state they will keep his state taxes to pay the debt. The state can also with hold his paycheck to pay the debt. Check with your department of human services.

Sweetie, you need to stop venting about it and do something. There are ways to cut through the red tape and actually get him to pay no matter what state he is in or what job he quits to avoid his obligations. Your start is going to be filing contempt for non-payment, then once you do that and have your hearing, he is going to be forced to sign a stipulation requiring him to pay on a regular basis, if he doesn't they'll put leins on his taxes, his vehicles, house if he has one or sit his behind in jail. You mentioned the father-hood program, although a good program, it does not make him exempt from his current obligations. The courts don't see it that way. They know the kids don't stop eating or stop wearing clothes because "daddy" is in a class to teach him responsibility. Go back to court and file your motion. This isn't about you, it's about a need for your children.
I should also add that it costs you nothing to file a contempt motion and you can download the paperwork for free on your states website, look for it under family law.

I have 3 children and their dad would rather be in jail than pay childsupport. 2 years later and I never expect to see a dime. I look at it this way that when my kids are older and have no respect for him being in jail all the time they will have less respect for not supporting them. I can say I was there for everything in their lives and that's all that matters.

I thought that there was some program in Georgia in which child support had to be straight to the court and the court would distribute the money to the mom. If the were delinquent then the state would immediately collect.

I have the same problem....My mother and i would like to start a web site and put every delinquent adult on it with the amount they owe and their last known job and address. I think a little embarrassment would do some good, dont you?

Yea, I have a deadbeat dad myself. Whatever you do, think of your child's emotional needs... It's soooo hard not having a father...SO HARD...
