WHAT IS CHILD SUPPORT FOR
"teachrmama" wrote in message ... "PapaPolarbear" wrote in message ... "teachrmama" wrote in message ... Are you suggesting that each parent's entire income go first to the child support system, and, after child support and the surcharge are deducted, the remainder be returned to the parents? Actually, yes. It's bold move and would need extremely fast processing but if the technology allows it then yes. That's what I thought. So how would you actually work this out? Take our case as an example. Hubby found out that he had a 13 year daughter he never knew about, product of a one night stand. Began having paycheck garnished for 20% of his wages. The mother has a variety of illegitimate children by an equal number of men. Only 1 (my husband) has been ordered to pay child support. Seems they are still working their way down the lists for the others. Mom has not worked a day in her life, but has minimum wage imputed to her. I worked my way through college and have been working ever since. Hubby and I have 8 and 9 year old daughters. So how does this great system you want to establish handle this? Doe his daughter by welfare mom deserve to live at the same standard of living that our 2 daughters (who have 2 working parents) enjoy? If this daughter has her standard of living raised, how about all her half siblings? How will you explain to them that sis gets many things that they do not because her dad has been discovered? Or do all of the children in that household have to be similarly supported? Will they take a far greater portion of my husband's paycheck, since I also work? Can they force us to sell our house and move to a more modest hovel, just so all of the child's siblings are similarly treated? Just exactly how much power are we to give the government? And can mom come up with all sorts of things she wants for her daughter each month, to the point where we never have a clue as to how much we will get back from the government at any given time? Try to explain your self in a bit more detail, please. Right now your plan makes me very nervous! Frankly it makes me nervous too but I'm just bring this to the table. It's not a complete plan by any means. The involvement of social workers and some sort of voice of reason is my hope in making it more reasonable for all parties. I see it as better than the current scenario where there's little understanding for the father's point of situation. Perhaps there's no claim to back-support if they only began searching for the father later on. Is your husband not responsible for a one-night-stand? Is the child not his? Perhaps 20% is unreasonable but the fact remains that a child by your husband exists and could not without his contribution. I know it seems unfair that this welfare mom hasn't worked at a job but raising children is a job to many. The one thing this guideline would allow for is flexibility, there's nothing in my plan that says the cp needs an equalized lifestyle. And yes there are gaps in my plan ... it's early in the design stages. the siblings are not the concern of the husband, you know that the money she received will go to all the children in effect, but that does not change how much she's entitled to. I don't expect the system's charter would be to make one father pay the whole amount, the social-worker's job is to ensure the expenses are reasonable and justified. Papa |
