Let's get our child support orders enforced
I have written many letters to the Governor, my Legislator, and James
Gilchrist with no response, or action taken in this matter. I, along with other custodial parents that reside in Montgomery County Maryland, have a huge problem with the child support laws, and guidelines. It is not that we don't appreciate the agencies, but we would really like the agencies to communicate with each other, and the non-custodial parents in an attempt to collect the child support owed to the custodial parent. Every month that child support goes unpaid is another month a single family household must struggle to make ends close, and another month where the children's financial needs are not fully met. Montgomery County Maryland does not consider failure to pay child support a criminal offense, and have reduced our children's needs, and standards of living to a civil matter. It is not fair to the children, the custodial parents, or the state agencies that help support the child when the non-custodial parent decides they will not support the children they helped to create. According to my case worker, Jazaan Abdula, in the Montgomery County Child Support Agency, there is no reason to put the non-custodial parent in jail, and this woman even tried to persuade me to close my case and forget about it. This is not professional behavior from the agency that is supposed to be helping in collecting this debt from the non-custodial parent. In Montgomery County Maryland the child support owed to custodial parents is astounding. Did you know that if you have a child support obligation of $500.00 a month, you can satisfy the Child Support Enforcement Agency with a payment of $0.13-not $13.00. Although there can be criminal action taken against the non-custodial parent, it rarely is, and some non-custodial parents go for years without supporting their children, while accumulating a large child support debt. The amount of unpaid child support in Maryland in 1989 was 4 billion dollars; by 1999 the amount climbed up to 13 billion dollars. That is almost a billion dollars a year, and the amount keeps rising with no end in sight. Non-custodial parents continue to evade the responsibility to the children, and that which was set fourth by a court of law, because they know there is little to no consequence. It makes us all wonder if there is any justice for our children, or if anybody, besides the custodial parent, is working on their behalf. All we want is a just system that works in the best interest of our children. There is no reason the non-custodial should fall into arrears of $10,000.00, and there is no reason they should not be sent to jail for child neglect. The non-custodial parent avoids child support, (mine just quits his job when he is located) and since there is no fear of prosecution, they continue to avoid paying their court ordered child support. Per Jazaan Abdula, my case worker, Montgomery County does not comply with the Federal CSEA. The non-custodial parent in my case owes $20,907.57 so far. This had gone on for almost 5 years. The non-custodial parent has never been to jail for contempt, or failure to comply with a court order. There has been no action taken against the non-custodial parent, and has never been arrested for failure to comply with the court order. It is because of the inactions of the Child Support Enforcement Agency, I felt the need to draft this petition. You signature, and comments in this matter are important. Our legislator's are going to see them, and they need to know how we feel, so please go to the petition site, and let your opinion be known. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/let...dard-of-living Before the deadbeat parents start crying, whining, and claiming only women make children (as so many non-custodial fathers claim), and only women are entitled to child support let me stop you now, because that's not what this is about. The petition is for ALL custodial parents (yes it includes the men as well as the women) who have a hard time getting their court orders for child support enforced. |

Z (in a helpful mood today) Are you scared that people are going to sign, and make deadbeats go to jail? Will you be on the list? Get a life dude! If she wants to post a petition she can. She is doing more than all the cry babies on here whining about how unfair the system is, yet, this person is the only one doing instead of crying. I pay my child support and all deadbeats that don't pay thiers need to cool off in jail. |

Are you saying now that you are a noncustodial mother who pays child support? |
