Why put control of such an important issue in the hands of total
strangers who feel that their formulae are more important than the
parents of the child?

Hi, I am new here. I have had child support papers for a year and never
filed them. I am a Christian and I feel like an atheist doing this. I
should say I am a Christian convert, which makes it hard. I divorced my
husband. Slogging through these papers is hell on earth. We have a 6
year old and I have full custody of her but he can visit her whenever he
likes, we live in the same county. We live in Marin County, CA. The
Child Support people here are friendly and helpful.

You are right. However I know the former head of Family Support Services
for my state and His Grace advised I do it for my daughter's sake. I think
I will listen to His Grace's advice.

Oh--you mean your ex is such an uncaring father that he would try to
shortchange his daughter? That is really sad!!


No, that's not the problem. There are other problems which I don't want
to discuss publicly anymore.
