Have you or someone you know had their license suspended ? Has your bank account been seized? Do you get your income tax stolen from you each year? Can you go to another country if you wanted to? Are you able to have tangible assets that are really yours? Have you been stripped of any of these rights because you owe child support?
I want to start off by saying that I am not condoning parents to not support their children. I feel that is a responsability that cannot be ignored. However, the issue I would like to convey to my readers is, are the laws that can virtually destroy your life if you are not the custodial parent of your child/children fair?
Does it benefit the child if a parents driver's license is suspended? I would think that it would do quite the opposite. After all, how is Dad or Mom to travel and pick up the child/children if they are not able to drive. How are they to travel to work that is suitable to support not only the non-custodial parents life, but the child's life as well. With no license, one would be limited to a very small area of travel for jobs.
Does it benefit the children when child support is collected and the money goes to gold line the governments pocket. I can personally tell you that in one month I paid out $900.00 in child support and my children only saw $50.00 of it. Is this fair? Sure, it's nice to know that the government is willing to lend a helping hand to single parents. But, should the cost be so high that it eventually has accrued so much interest that the child is no longer seeing the money but the government is?
I am a father that has been affected by current child support laws that have made it almost vurtaully impossible to live. My license has been suspended and my children live in another state. My wages are garnished, so much so, that I cannot afford to go to see my children or have them come see me. Let alone, make ends meet. I am limited to a within walking distance job in a town that has no jobs within that distance. Something has got to change people. These laws are not making things better, they are making things worse. They are breaking down the family units that this nation should want to protect.
