A Small Victory...

Great job! I ain't telling you anything you don't already know, but fight hard, fight harder, don't give up, don't take no for an answer, and ignore the naysayers (as there are plenty of 'em in here) who enjoy repeating "Oh, you can't do that".

Oh, I'll still have to.  Once the child support Soviets get you into their system, you can't make a living anywhere in the United States.  Not on the grid anyway.  The irony is that my kid (remember, that person the child support system is supposed to be all about) is going to suffer because of all this.  The job I have now is a decent job, with full benefits for my child.  But they're going to start garnishing my wages now.  So I'm going to have to quit this job pretty soon and live off the grid.  No health insurance for myself or my kid.  All because the Communists running the system are so greedy.

So I'm going to have to make money off the grid and save it up until I can leave.

And if there's a Hell, I hope whoever wrote these child support laws burns there.

What's with the garnish. I pay weekly to the State child support agency and they forward the money to Mother. With three children I pay about 62% of my gross pay each week. It could be worse. I could still be married to her.

Dante condemned usurers (money lenders) to the Seventh Circle, Inner Ring, of H*ll.

The Eighth Circle, Malebolge, is reserved for the fraudulent. Corrupt politicians go to Bolgia 5 of Malebolge.

If all else fails, and they take my passport away, I will embarrass the United States and the State of California in the eyes of the world. After I tip off the press ahead of time, I will go to the embassy of Cuba or Venezuela and apply for asylum there. When the press comes calling, I'll tell them that since the U.S. government has condemned me to live under a communist regime, I'll at least pick one where I can keep more of my income and get free health care. I'll also point out that the child support system violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, as well as human rights treaties to which the United States is a signatory (illegal discrimination based on gender).

No offense, but you should pack up and leave.

You could live in Communist China and not have as much of your income stolen by the government.

NWM,

 If you honestly feel this way why dont you trying and band with others to change it. I know I worry about my teenage boys now because I have saw a girl get knocked up just to trap him and she even had his name put on the Birth Certificate and even though they did not stay together (one nighter according to her) she hit him for child support and just drug him down the eternal tube of hell just to find out that the kid was not even his. Now it is costing him child support and a lawyer to go back to court to try and have the support lifted so far 2 hearing and no luck cause she put as the birth father. I am a female and have 2 boys and 2 girls if my girls ever did that I would beat the **** out of them. What these people are doing is using these kids as hostage for money and that is wrong. No wonder we have so many deadbeat parents out there not just men they just get most crap about it. If I could help you NWM I would I dont think it is right that you fork over 1/2 or more of your pay check and then in some cases cant even claim the kid at tax time.
