Write in a favorable letter supporting a current bill in California that would correct many injustices. Cross post to your favorite groups. Text of form letter: Dear Senate Judiciary Committee: I am writing to urge you to pass SB 1082, which you will vote on Tuesday, April 19. I support SB 1082 because it will help correct a terrible injustice currently faced by activated reservists and National Guardsmen who are noncustodial parents. Today these service personnel can return from deployment overseas to find themselves hopelessly in arrears on child support or even facing jail. Others are taken advantage of terribly in custody matters while they are deployed. American patriots should not be subjected to injustice while fighting for freedom abroad. |

"J" wrote in American patriots should not be subjected to injustice while fighting for freedom abroad. Actually you should rephrase that to read that any American should not be subjected to injustice. Is it fair that poor people should be used to promote a politician's ambitions by claiming they have solved the poverty problem by throwing poor people into jail that do not make enough money to pay thier CS? How about a politician that runs on a platform of throwing any single male parent in jail that doesn't earn $24,000/year! Think they'll get elected or keep their job if they support such a platform? |

While it is true that soldiers that shoots blanks on the battle field will likely end up dead, those soldiers that don't shoot blanks in the bedroom, will end up paying child support for the rest of their life. All solders should know when and when not to shoot specific rounds of shot and the results therefrom! Actually you should rephrase that to read that any American should not be subjected to injustice. Correct, and no one on the planet should be subjected to injustices regardless of the country they live in. Is it fair that poor people should be used to promote a politician's ambitions by claiming they have solved the poverty problem by throwing poor people into jail that do not make enough money to pay thier CS? I cannot speak for America, but in Canada no one goes to jail for not paying support per se. They go to jail for refusing to comply with court orders. In other words, if you make 5 dollars a day and the judge ask you to pay 2 cents a month in child support, you must do so. Failure to comply can cause you to go to jail. I agree that no one should go to jail because they are poor, but if you are poor and only make 400 dollars a month, that doesn't mean that you cannot pay 5 dollar a month in child support. There is a segment of society that believes because they make very little money, they don't have to pay child support. Not so at all. Everyone no matter how poor can pay some money in child support. If you are bright enough to get a woman pregnant, you are bright enough to make a contribution to the offspring no matter how poor you are. Society in general does not mind you increasing global population but society does mind you asking your neighbours to pay for your child support. How about a politician that runs on a platform of throwing any single male parent in jail that doesn't earn $24,000/year!

Guess what, today's poverty level in America is rated about $1200 per month, but a poor NCP would still be expected to pay the minimum support level of about $400 per month. Most poor NCP's are already working two jobs just to keep up with rent and other bare essentials. I don't have any sympathy for NCP's that make a good buck and refuse to pay, but they are not the majority. Soldiers who exist on military pay and cannot work another job while on active duty should be excused from their high rate of CS payments, this is where the Government should step in and "help"!!!!! It's just so much easier for the government to ignore their responsibility and throw poor people in jail rather than help them! |

Every man should be excused CS payments. It is just a backdoor tax. D.

All solders should know when and when not to shoot specific rounds of shot and the results therefrom! Irrelevant, the question is not should they pay CS, the question is should they pay based on their old salary before they were called to active duty, this applies to reservists. Actually you should rephrase that to read that any American should not be subjected to injustice. Correct, and no one on the planet should be subjected to injustices regardless of the country they live in. Agreed. Is it fair that poor people should be used to promote a politician's ambitions by claiming they have solved the poverty problem by throwing poor people into jail that do not make enough money to pay thier CS? I cannot speak for America, but in Canada no one goes to jail for not paying support per se. They go to jail for refusing to comply with court orders. In other words, if you make 5 dollars a day and the judge ask you to pay 2 cents a month in child support, you must do so. Failure to comply can cause you to go to jail. This issue is the ability to quickly modify a CS order downward based on a significant change of circumstance. Failure to comply with a court order is a very selectively enforced law. It is enforce with regard to CS, but is rarely enforced with regard to visitation. I agree that no one should go to jail because they are poor, but if you are poor and only make 400 dollars a month, that doesn't mean that you cannot pay 5 dollar a month in child support. There is a segment of society that believes because they make very little money, they don't have to pay child support. Not so at all. Everyone no matter how poor can pay some money in child support. If you are bright enough to get a woman pregnant, you are bright enough to make a contribution to the offspring no matter how poor you are. The question is about downward modification, paying no child support is not the issue. Society in general does not mind you increasing global population but society does mind you asking your neighbours to pay for your child support. Your neighbors are not paying the CS. Once again, the issue is not paying CS, but getting a timely downward modification. You must have this modification becuase the Bradley Amendment will not allow a judge to forgive CS that is accruded do to inaccurate awards based on inflated income. |
