Parents who allow their children to fall below the minimum standard for
neglect should all be subjected to the same penalties. Any
other standard is capricious, sexist and unjust.

Right, Mark....
Are CPs going to be held to the same standards? Should they make an accounting
to some type of governmental authority to verify that they have spent all of
the CS they receive on their children?
I would agree with Sillysal's proposal if (and that's a BIG IF) if CPs would
also be accountable for the CS they receive. But I don't have to worry,
because CPs will probably never have to be accountable for such.
It's called "equal protection" I believe.

Not only should the CP be accountable for the CS received, the CP
should also be obligated to support the children with a set percentage of
their income, whether the kids need that much or not - just like the NCP.

Good point.....on the one hand you criticize these 2 so-called "deadbeat dads"
while at the same time admitting YOU yourself don't support your kids, the
state does.
Do you ever refer to yourself as a "deadbeat mom"? If not, you should start.
What's this ?????

Now would it be so difficult to work it so that the CP could be landed
without warning and totally at random (whether the NCP has queried or
not) a notice on a CP stating something like:
You are required to supply to the court within four weeks of the date of
this notice, an accounting of how the CS you received last month for
your child was spent. Supporting dockets will be helpful to you, and in
their absence you will need to present your case verbally to the court.
(Four weeks should give those who don't keep [or occasionally lose]
receipts time to obtain the dockets...)
(How long is it between the date a NCP should have paid CS and hasn't
and a notice chasing the NCP to pay up now or else? Is that shorter or
longer than 4 weeks from date of non-payment? Whatever, the CP and NCP
should have a similar amount of time to get hold of the documentation
they need to support their actions).
Would you see the above as fair?
If not, why not?
I for one would see it as a big step forward. Yes, it would be fair if
things were this way. I doubt it'll ever happen in this country,
however. :-(
Lori
It won't solve the problem that NCPs here have, because the courts
consider it reasonable to assess part of the "fixed" costs of the CP as
direct child costs, while many of the NCPs here do not. So in truth the
CP would have to haul in real estate appraisals of the house they
"would" have if they didn't have the kids and compare it to what they
actually pay, to justify the kids' incremental share of housing - and so
on, and so on.
Since we don't receive CS, it is not a factor for us. I'm just
commenting that the people who try to make the discussion all about
variable out of pocket costs are never going to get anywhere, because
that's not the theory behind CS levels. You can lobby to change the
theory, but you can't argue that the theory isn't fairly applied when CS
is *not* designated simply for out-of-pocket costs as the NCPs assert.

Not true. The ability to identify the CPs costs and share for the children's
expenses can be done......and it is much simpler than that. The box theory in a
shabby neighborhood is irrelevant since the CP lives in a house/apartment in a
given neighborhood.

I hate to burst your bubble, but what about a fair

about teh right to present facts and wittnesses in your

ANYTHING. But, they do it all the time these days.....

This would not be easy at all. First you would have to change the law.
Since CS is used as backdoor alimony and our representatives like it
that way, the current laws will not be changed.

Bill, you are a CP... you are learning what it's like tio be a CP and
not be listened to because you are a second class citizen as a CP rather
than a member of the "boys club".
Life simply isn't fair if you happen to be on the losing side. Live with
it, or change it.

Maybe in your mind this would work, however, the money being paid into the
system right now is actually being paid out to our parents & grand parents.
Also, there is no gaurentee that anyone will live long enough to collect SS,
so you know what the government would have to say abot that.

Some are actually NOT in arrears & never have been....Our ex got a court
order to have my husbands retirement pension garnished by simply telling the
judge that he hadn't paid and she didn't know where he was. She had been
sending nasty grams to him for months and he had been sending her checks
every week. We presented all of this later in court (we had to institute the
action) and the garnishment was lifted. She told us later that she wanted
the amount of support paid all at once on the first, that's why she had the
garnishment done. She was also charged with perjury in this instance because
we showed proof that she knew where he was and had not fallen behind in his
suipport.

What, indeed? In the above referenced court action, the judge also held the
ex in contempt for violation of decree for interfering with visitation for
three years. Even after all of that, she WON'T LET THEM SEE their Dad this
SUMMER! It's in the court order, but she simply refuses. Go figure. She just
WANTS to be this way. We have contacted our attorney, once again, in
Mississippi and she is taking care of the paperwork in court. We don't know
yet whether we will ahve to travel again to appear in court. So, what would
be suggested as punishment for CP's that REFUSE to allow visitation??
Karin
What are you talking about? You snipped so much I have lost the context.
Hefty fines and/or imprisonment.
What punishment would you like to see?
However it would be perfectly possible to ensure that such defaulters
couldn't claim when they came to retire if there were funds available at
the time.
Why not?
And why would the government have a problem with that? The government
could simply take the non CS paying NCP's contributions and credit them
to the CP as the CP's contributions instead...

I believe they should lose custody to the other parent, and that the
custody change should be irrevocable.

Unfortunately the fines would end being paid by my husband, as the ex
doesn't work & lives on the children's money....trickle up economics, if you
will. Imprisonment? Maybe. What effect this would have on the children, I
don't know. She has kept them away from their father for so long that they
hardly know him. They might be further harmed emotionally, being seperated
from their mom in this manner. I really don't know. There is no simple
answer as each situation differs in circumstance, ie - ages of children, how
long since they have visited with the NCP, finacnial situation of CP, etc.
Any one else have any ideas?

How about this: Except when one parent is unfit and can't have the kids
or is unwilling to physically care for them, have the parent with the kids
pay for the things they needs. The parents may also work out some other
arrangement themselves.

OK, fine. But now, question for question, under what circumstances can a NCP
prove to the court that they are capable of responsibly supporting their
children without the need for court-ordered support enforced by wage
garnishments.
Under the current system ALL male NCPs are automatically guilty of being
irresponsible louts who require a court to order them to give money to the
mothers of their children (though there are plenty of cases where courts
order men to pay support for children who aren't even theirs).
Unless there is a legal, honorable out for responsible NCPs, the system is a
fraud.
Speaking personally, I would agree to keep all records of all transactions
involving support for my son and would be willing to provide them to a court
office on demand if I could just have the dignity of being able to actually
support my wonderful, beloved son instead of his worthless leech (actually,
'leech' is too kind a term, I prefer 'lamprey') of a mother. It shouldn't be
necessary to do this, but I would willingly agree to it (something, I might
add, which very few recipients of CS are willing to do).

How about this... Child support is paid into a separate, joint bank account
from which money can be taken by either parent ONLY by mutual permission and
ONLY for items directly related to the support of the child.
This would include things like clothes, school supplies, medical care, etc.
But ONLY things which are needed exclusively by the child and are things the
parent wouldn't be buying anyway. In other words, no taking out money for
food, utilities, rent, car payments, insurance (apart from health insurance
for the child)
Final bonus: any money left in that account on the child's 18th birthday
goes to the child.
Naturally, this system would also include penalties for a parent refusing to
give their consent for a legitmate need (up to and including simply reverting
to the old system).

Who here maintains that CS is designed simply to cover out-of-pocket
expenses. It isn't. People who think differently are fooling themselves.
CS is designed to reimburse women for all the expenses of raising children
because that is what the people who made the policy think is right and all
the women, lawyers and politicians who benefit from this idiotic system are
perfectly willing to agree to it.
A Scottish philospher called Alexander Tytler once wrote (I'm paraphrasing)
that Democracy can only exist as a form of government until special interests
discover that they can vote themselves a payday out of someone else's
pocket. So-called "entitlements" are big business in government circles and
I'm not just talking about traditional images of "welfare" as money paid to
the poor and addled but corporate welfare in the form of huge subsidies paid
to bloated corporations as well as money paid to women out of the pockets of
their children's father. Welfare comes from all over and make no mistake, CS
*IS* welfare.
The problem is that it is a very easy matter for the sheep to start bleating
"four legs good, two legs bad!"
Pardon the Orwellian metaphor (there is much that is Orwellian about the
current system though) but the problem is very real. The minute you start
talking about anything which could even REMOTELY be construed as reducing
child-support awards under any circumstances then the people who profit by
the current system start screaming at the top of their lungs that you are an
unfeeling creep who just wants to hurt children and benefit deadbeat dads.
It doesn't matter if you have a good point or not and it doesn't matter if
you have facts on your side or not. All that matters is that "they" think
you are wrong and, unfortunately, "they" have the political power at the
moment.
There was a situation in California where this guy had done some studies
which *proved* that the current formula was biased against low-income fathers
and subjected them and their children to significant financial hardships
while allowing wealthier men to get off with a smaller bit out of their
paychecks. He showed his new formula which would correct the imbalance and
close some of the loopholes which were available to the very wealthy.
He was immediately denounced as a child-hating, woman-bashing cretin who just
wanted to help deadbeat dads get away from doing their "duty". His cardinal
sin? He wanted to reduce some of the support payments made by lower-income
men. Gasp! The nerve!!!
The fact is that you have a better chance getting elected or re-elected on a
flat-earth or pro-polygamy platform than you do having been seen as
sympathetic to NCPs.
They'll be hearing from that state before long. The state doesn't like to
pay out those tax dollars. I suspect when you signed up for that care
package from the state, they made you sign over to them the right to collect
child-support on your behalf. And believe me, they mean to collect that
money or put your exes in jail if they don't pay. Not that you should worry
about it much, you won't see much of that money - if any. But then, on the
other hand, you already got it so what's the problem? What difference does
it make to you whether the state gives you taxpayer's money or money from
your exes?

It all sounds good except "no taking out money for food or utilities". So who
pays for these? What if one parent refuses to share custody and either willingly
or forceably pays their half? The other parent is then accountable solely for
all food and extra costs in utilities 100% of the time? Granted, if JC exists,
each will provide food and utilities. But there are some instances where one
parent just refuses to share custody.

Also good advice, except when the one parent that is "unwilling to physically care
for them" is also unwilling to "work out some other arrangement themselves". Then
the other parent must foot the added cost of insurance, medical expenses, etc.

If the child is with each parent more or less the same amount of time
and in more or less the circumstances, then yes. No problem.
However what would you do about expenses that spanned the time the child

Do you think it should?
Why do you think it would never happen?
Things must be different here in Canada -- CS is not automatically garnished.
However, when my ex stopped paying, I filed with the Family Maintenance
Enforcement Program and they got his wages garnished. At first my ex was
ticked but recently he said he was glad of the garnishment. I think it's much
easier for him to have the CS automatically taken out than directly write a
cheque to me. If you can't get things changed, maybe try to change the way
you look at it.

I don't know. A woman here in Canada was recently jailed for refusing
visitation. I agree that there are not enough safeguards for this but I think
the tide is changing.

I would not only be willing to complete full quarterly fiscal disclosure I'd
be thrilled if my ex were to pay people like the kid's doctors and daycare
provider directly.
He wouldn't have to send me a direct dime ! What would the beef be then ?
