Well, after my ex lost her visitation for almost two years and just got it back, guess what the court granted me for support. A whopping $50 a week. And it's not like I make tons of money. I struggle to get by week to week.

I don't care what people say, the courts cater to the women. And yes, I had a woman judge

My next door neighbors ex took him back to court for more child support because she was going to have another baby with her new husband. He judge said okay and then he lost it told the judge he wasn't going to pay it wasn't his kid and if you to send me to jail go ahead I have Im not paying for a kid that even isn't mind. If they can't support another child they shouldn't have let it happen. His Atty just sat and looked at him like he was going to jail. the funny thing was the jude change his mind and said he was right it wasn't his kid and he souldn't havve to pay for it. THomT

I raised my daughter by myself since she was 8 months old, she is now 19 with a baby of her own and living on her own since she turned 18.

Her mother was ordered to pay that whopping sum of $20.00 per week too, that was a joke! I paid $5,700.00 in court costs, lawyer costs to get full custody of my daughter after a 3 year struggle of shared custody. I won, the mother moved to Florida!

The $20.00 per week ... department of revenue last had her in $14,000.00 in arrears! She remarried in Fla., squeezed out 2 more kids, owns a house but does the system help collect the money owed ... yeah, right!

I asked if I could put a lien on her house, DOR says ... nope! I asked can you's put a lien on her house, DOR says ... nope! I was then told I have to go through DOR in Fla., asked can I do it? Was told not from here, I have to go there to do it. Went there and was told ... nope, can't do it from Fla. it has to be done from Mass.

What a circlejerk! Court here said she had to turn over her income tax refund to me in lieu of back support, oh - this is when she tried to get the amount reduced to $0. and get visitation rights for my daughter to go to Fla., DOR says ... don't worry we'll intercept her refund check of $5,300.00 and it'll go directly to you. Well I never saw it, never saw a penny of it and never will.

I was finally given a ray of hope about 4 months ago by the DOR, they said they can now put a lien on the house.

Guess what came next ...

Her new husband divorced her, she got the house in Fla. because of the 2 new kids, she then sold the same house 2 weeks later and moved into assisted living in Fla. (welfare section 8 here, don't know what they call it there) and her last sucker has to pay her support!

Does the system work ... HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I highly doubt you'll ever see the payment enforced here in this state, the court does not recognize "deadbeat moms" only deadbeat dads!

Do I sound bitter speaking of this great system of ours? Well I am and have every right to be, I did everything their way ... by the books and still got screwed!

If you ask the system for help ...

Be afraid ......... be very afraid!
