Help Children Who Do Not Receive Their Child Support Video

Public Service Announcement from ACES:
ACES - The Association for Children for Enforcement of Support. MISSION STATEMENT: ACES is a non-profit child support organization dedicated to assisting disadvantaged children whose parents fail to meet their legal and moral child support and/or visitation obligations. ACES, The Association for Children for Enforcement of Support, Inc. a non-profit organization, was founded in March 1984. Today, ACES is the largest national grassroots child support advocacy organization in the United States with 40,000 members and 165 chapters in 45 states. All are united in the ACES mission: to assist disadvantaged children affected by parents who fail to meet their legal, moral and financial obligations to support their children. A voluntary National Board of Trustees advises the organization. ACES members are representative of the families who have 18 million children owed $100 billion in unpaid child support. A snapshot of the average ACES member would show a single, female head of household who earns $14,000 per year. Her two children are owed $7,000 in unpaid support, which has accumulated at the rate of $65 per week for almost three years. She cannot afford a private attorney to pursue the father for the collection of child support and the children's unpaid medical bills. She is dependent on the local government Child Support Agency, which has taken no action on her behalf in over eight months. ACES offers "how to " instructions and educational information about child support enforcement, visitation rights and paternity determination. ACES provides a telephone "hot-line" for affected families across the country who are seeking information and understanding. ACES conducts public awareness campaigns through news releases and community action.
It is concrete help such as this that accounts for the 1999 ACES survey showing that 77% of the families who contacted us for assistance successfully collected child support. The average amount came to $4,500 per year, surpassing the average annual welfare benefit of $3,462 for a family of three. When child support payments were joined with available income, 88% of those previously dependent on welfare became self-sufficient. Having become a highly visible organization, ACES National received 100,000 requests for information and assistance. This demand is partly due to national media exposure, including: The McNeil Lehrer Report, NBC Today Show, ABC's Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Newsweek, USA Today, The New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune and many others. Many of the low-income parents empowered to seek and collect child support payments have gone on to volunteer to assist others by organizing ACES chapters in their areas. ACES National provides organizing assistance to almost 165 of these local grassroots organizations and provides on-site visits to chapters for training, discussion and problem solving. ACES has designed a series of training conferences for ACES chapters which help them to develop leadership skills, organize members and develop advocacy programs that motivate child support enforcement agencies to strictly enforce court ordered child support.

@BUMPherstickher I like that!! Yes in its current configuration, child stealing, no not custody is illegal and child support is a direct violation of th USC 18 and 42, ie the Peonage Act. But the corrupt courts don't recognize this, not because it is not true, but because its not convenient.

Most court orders for custody and support are in fact void judgments, take action, get rid of these ruling and instead force the court to make a valid ruling on arrangement that restores your rights.

@unclefixer if the court takes my child when i have committed no crime thats human trafficing then to force me to work and force me to hand that money over in whole or in part to the mother "my master" is slavery "black" and "white" plain as day. if im married and wife leaves why should i have to give up half of my life with my child to her or the child even? sure she should be able to see them but to alter everyones life for her choice no dont think so.

[BumpHerStickHer]

typical women using children for handouts!

[BumpHerStickHer]

if the court takes your child when you have committed no crime thats human trafficing then to force you to work and force you to hand that money over in whole or in part to the mother "your master" is slavery "black" and "white" plain as day and no one notices.

You want children supported? Stop granting divorces like drivers licenses. If women are going to be the custodial parent; they are not to re-marry or have 'new' children until either the current children are the minimum age of majority or a new husband can produce a '$50 thousand dollar' bond to cover the new family? If a women has 'financial means' she can be granted a divorce. Men going to jail because a woman abandons her marriage is perverted. As far as needy single moms are concerned, duh.

ACES no your ZEROS , Child support is stealing and that why they have so damn much trouble trying to collect and why this corrupt system will fall apart.

I will now explain how to create a system that will work and will put the child first.

Pass, then enforce laws that make joint physical/legal custody the norm, not the exception. Second disinvolve the state, except in rare instances where their involvement is absolutely necessary. Third make the marriage contract enforceable.
