Texas needs Equal Parenting and do away with the Child Support/Welfare tax free incentive. The state receives a Federal matching contribution for child support they COLLECT which makes it difficult get rid of. I say balance the state budget in some other way then to destroy families.
I have my kids 50% & have to pay so much support to ex-wife we live below the poverty level. I waited 4 years for a raise,she took me to att. general office & they're taking another $96/month from me now. I asked for my payment records,the lady printed out 10 years & told me to figure it out.each time I call I get a different answer.I might get laid off & the office told me it will take 6 months to readjust because they're too behind in their record keeping. What an F'n Sham.Vote against Abbott
The TX Attorney Generals Office is in my opinion THE WORST state office I've ever experienced.In all my dealings with them their service is nothing short of shabby & they can provide no information. One lady that worked there here in San Angelo told me they're 6 months behind. I understand why they have to have vault doors & bullet proof glass in their office. Horrible horrible in every dealing I've ever had with them. I'm voting against Abbott nov 4th & encourage everyone else to also.
@eazie213 That does not surprise me. I have not seen my son since he was about 9 years old(he is over 21 now). I found out later my ex's husband adopted him, so I stopped paying and of course they continued to pursue me for arrears and garnished my wages of course, even when my net paycheck was poverty level. For us so-called "Deadbeat Dads" there is no excuse, so I refuse to comply as much as I can!! The government is out of control, but I will NOT be their ATM...
@eazie213 Well that's the way it is, if you owe arrears, it cannot be forgiven. Welcome to the "New Ameri(k)a. The Bradely Amendment made it impossible for any judge to forgive any portion of child support including arrears. I will probably go to my grave owing the "Soviet State of Texas". I live in another state now but they pursue relentlessly I have written to Texas asking for modification more than once, but they have ignored me everytime. So my strategy for now is to ignore them!!
I also know from personel expericense that the AG's office will not help you with corrupt law enforcement either. I reported two officers and only got back two letters saying nothing can be done. the second letters content has nothing to do with my issue.
I hope the government fixed this guys credit. way to go on the sole custody.. I hope the law finds that Dead Beat mother and locks her up for life.. The court systems need help. I am a proud father with most custody and still pay child support so the mother has shop for coach purses!!!
After losing a six-figure job, they atty general refused to lower my support on the grounds that it had been reveiwed only 2 months prior. Now they've taken what would have been a nice tax return - which the mother will never even get anyway.
Greg Abbott runs a crime ring off victimizing fathers, custodial or not. Maybe he has daddy issues?
@allmakescombined My friend the system is stacked against you as I am sure you are aware. The only hope we have is that this tyrannical government collapes upon itself!!!
Until they can be held legally responsible, or liable in civil court, the state agencies are just going to run roughshod over whomever they need to to collect the most dollars. There is no such thing as civil rights in child support court.
The Government makes mistakes all the time and will continue as long as there is zero accountability. This happens all the time and simply put makes it harder for a father to be a father. Ruined credit, license suspension, passport denial, professional license suspension, jail time are all realities for the father who is the ruined by a government mistake.
