"If, however, it means that you would be unable to purchase the necessities of life for yourself, then a judge would take that into careful consideration." I believe the term was, "Have a nice day!". |

The statement is (to be polite) total nonsense. The issue is not whether parents could become bankrupt by paying college support. The issue is whether state legislatures have created laws granting the courts the authority to order college age child support. Only four states have post-secondary education CS laws. They are Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, and Oregon. Oregon is unique because that state allows the CS to be paid directly to the post-18 adult child attending school. The other three states allow the court to decide whether the support is paid to the college or the child. The District of Columbia, Indiana, Mississippi, and New York do not terminate CS until age 21. Those states allow ongoing CS without the requirement for the child to be attending post-secondary schooling. |

The department handles nearly 140,000 child support cases countywide, of which 31,592 are managed through the agency's Victorville office. Just over 158,000 children are supported through the department. Approximately $15.5 million in child support goes unpaid in the county each month. 1) 158,000 children supported by the department. ???? Thru welfare? Thru foster care? What does that mean? That's 18,000 more kids then they say they have cs cases? 2) 140,000 cs cases. $15.5 mil unpaid every month. That breaks down to an average of only $25.00 per week per payor. Too bad the media prefers to spit out huge numbers to induce a "the sky is falling" mentality on readers who don't care to actually think about (or do the math for) what they're reading. |

That's 18,000 more kids then they say they have cs cases? The government counts CS cases based on how many orders they manage and then back into how many children the orders represent. This county has 1.12 children per CS order. The national average according to the census bureau is 1.6 children per parent. The only way to explain the gross discrepancy from the national average is to recognize this county has an above average number of mothers who have had children with multiple fathers and therefore have multiple CS orders to being the children per order statistic down. |

over 158,000 children are supported through the department. The government counts CS cases based on how many orders they manage and then back into how many children the orders represent. So if you're saying the 158,000 is the number of kids covered by CS, then why the hell is the department taking credit for supporting those children? Wouldn't it be, um, the NCP's paying their child support who are supporting the children? |

And I'll bet this isn't the first time you've heard the government brag about accomplishments that they never really did. What frosts my butt when these government press releases become the basis for news stories is the reporters never challenge what the government says in the press releases. And the other pattern is the government CS agencies always makes a big deal about how much CS is owed to justify their ongoing existence and self-described importance. |

Approximately $15.5 million in child support goes unpaid in the county each month. 1) 158,000 children supported by the department. ???? Thru welfare? Thru foster care? What does that mean? It means that's how many children are getting child support through the system there. That's 18,000 more kids then they say they have cs cases? I have 1 child support case. I have 2 children. 2) 140,000 cs cases. $15.5 mil unpaid every month. That breaks down to an average of only $25.00 per week per payor. Which might lead some to wonder why the payors aren't making more of an effort to pay it. What about those extortionate rates I see complained about in so many posts here? Too bad the media prefers to spit out huge numbers to induce a "the sky is falling" mentality on readers who don't care to actually think about (or do the math for) what they're reading. |
