I dont get it
I pay child support for 2 children equal to 25% of my income. Add to that insurance that I provide and any additional costs such as copays and deductables for a total of easily 40% and some months more of my monthly income. I do not have an issue with paying any of that because they are my children and whether or not I ever get to see them I still love them and want to provide as best I can for them. I would do without food myself before I would not make sure that they had something they needed. Yet I do not see my children because of the actions of my malicious child alienating succubus of an ex wife.
I work with a woman who's ex refuses to pay the measly sum he is required to pay for his 2 small (less than 4 years old) children. She is in her office today upset because she is having trouble paying rent and putting food on the table and had just had a phone conversation with her ex and he has quit his job again to keep from having his support taken out of his pay. Yet she is forbidden by the courts from refusing him access to his children even though he hasnt paid and will probably continue not to.
Our family law system in this country is so completely and thoroughly broken with this rediculous one size fits all mentality that on the one hand my ex can get away with what she has. And then on the other my friends ex can continue to flaunt his non payment and threaten her with jail if she refuses him his time with the children that he will not support.
The problem seems so complex that there can never be a solution to it. But with examples such as the ones above, there has got to be. But it is going to have to come from people smarter than me. Because apparently common sense isnt allowed anywhere near the process.
