So.. Trying to keep the sex of the parents out of this... Parent A and Parent B are divorced. They have one minor child. If Parent A has sole custody of the child, Parent A will collect Child Support at the standard rate from Parent B.

This is a quoted story from Larry Gonick's amusing "Cartoon History of the United States" Does anyone else here find themselves reminded of CSE when they read this? * * * * * "By this time, the Plains Indians were already threatened by the dwindling supply of buffalo. The government urged the...

Recent thoughts on the brief discussion with Bob about political parties, which of them did more to precipitate the current injustices being visited upon fathers, and how relevant that is have produced in my very mind the following parable: A man returned home from work to find his front door...

I'm looking for 20 sound-bite facts that could be e-mailed around to spread awareness of what is actually going on in the USA regarding the travesty of Justice that is the Family Court system, child custody, and child support. I know there are so many wrongs being done (and they are all...

Where can I find a record of the people who voted for the Bradley Amendment in (I think) 1986? Also, I heard the Bradley Amendment was being challenged as of 2004. What came of this? Where can I learn? - Ron ^*^

I heard a report on NPR this morning that discussed the situation about NCPs who have their kids in their care for a significant amount of time. Apparently there is bill in the works to alleviate the obligation for such NCPs, similar to the one in NY right now. One thing they got right was the...

Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBxmtcnhibQ I figured out that since Family Court doesn't actually have a jury, the stupid little green guy must actually be -- a FC judge in training! - Ron ^*^

Anyone know how I can learn how much money my state rakes in from CS every year? - Ron ^*^

This is an old article from '93, and I'm afraid the ideas presented didn't take. I do like this man's take on "Joint Legal Custody" though -- truly a joke that will in time become a politically incorrect term as soon as enough people figure out what it really...

Just reported Moonshyne to the authorities (FBI) -- here's a copy of the report for anyone else who has been hurt by her anonymous annoyances: * * * * * I would like to report what I believe to be a federal offense under the new law: 47 U.S.C. 223 (internet annoyance law). It is a relatively...

I read this and it blew my mind! I guess we've all been wrong about everything here... www.gate.net/~liz/liz/002.htm - Ron ^*^

Went to court the other day to adjust Child Support (this was at the demand of CSE/Welfare, although my ex has recently gotten off of Welfare). We had continued from the last court meeting, because we had agreed to come to an agreement between ourselves about what we would be satisfied with, and...

The latest issue of Elle magazine has an article dedicated to tricking a man into marriage by getting pregnant. My favorite line: "My therapist told me it's the only way a woman can get married nowadays." The horror... the horror... - Ron ^*^

Question: A couple have been living together for nearly a year, in the woman's house. He earns about $50,000 per year, and she earns about $150,000 per year. Though unmarried, they choose to have a child together. Soon after the birth of the child, they go to family court to put it in legal...

In old-style "at fault" divorce, was mental illness grounds for divorce? Was it a matter of degree? What about someone who repeatedly lost jobs, dropped out of classes (and signed up for them again and again every year), self-cut, and had been hospitalized for chronic severe depression several...

Anyone here have any stories of what happened to their Masters after the obligations were up and the money ran out? I'm wondering especially about Masters who never actually worked because they were living off of the CS. I'm curious what's going to happen to my ex. My guess is that society will...

I am meeting with my lawyer in one week. He is the same one who oversaw my divorce, NOT the one who led me through that farcical affair concerning CSE. While I'm not planning to go into the courtroom anytime soon, I have to ask him for some advice on two fronts. First, my live-in GF is pregnant...

Some of you may recall my story of a somewhat wretched woman I work with who argued with me that I should reconsider my stance on a presumption of joint physical placement in child custody cases. Her argument was that the teenage fathers in our school, at 15 years of age or so, were obviously...
