Dead beat dads?

Ok, You all have missed the point. However I don't think the children should have to suffer either. But there are other ways to support the children than give her the money. Such as: making it a law for the innocent parent to provide full coverage insurance for the children as far as dental and medical. And if the parent has any sense they should be buying their children school school clothes, supplies and the extras that child needs. As for all your ugly comments I didn't steal anyones husband. I am a child of a dead beat father who I didn't see or know. But rather than my mother get money to help support her other husband and family, cause theres no guarantee I would of got a penny of it, as so many other children will agree paying the phone bill didn't buy me a pair of shoes.......oh but that was to help pay for your support.... Ok .. I just think things need to be done differently. How many children out there actually even see or even know about the child support? I didn't.

Dead beat dads?
Parents shouldn't discuss their specific finances with their children. Nor should one parent ever put down the other to the child. No matter what either parent did that may have ended the relationship, children should not be told the circumstances--they're CHILDREN! And parents shouldn't play games like "well, I might have had enough money to get you _______ if your no good mom/dad would have paid child support this month."

And yes, there are parents who misappropriate child support money. But the money should not be given directly to the child. That money also goes to pay the mortgage for the house the child lives in, the car the child is driven around in, the sports the child plays, the clothes the child wears. To give it to the child would also be a misappropriation.

Do you think married parents that both work would tell their kids "mommy's pay check bought your clothes, but daddy's paycheck bought your food?" No, and it should be the same with any money gathered through child support.

My parents had 50/50 custody of the kids after their divorce. We lived one month with dad, then one month with mom. My dad still had to pay child support to my mom to help even out their incomes. When we were with my dad, if we asked for anything like new shoes or new clothes we had to hear: "that's what I pay child support for, have your mom get you that stuff." My mom never said an unkind word about my dad. And guess what? 20 years later all 3 of us kids think my mom did a far better job at parenting than my dad, even though he wasn't a "dead beat" per se because he always paid his support on time.

Children should neither "know about" nor "see" the support, that's for the adults to worry about.
Reply:i tell my son that his dad does not pay his child support, that is why i can't give him everything he needs. granted i do give him all that i can. sooner or later he'll figure it out on his own what a deadbeat his father is.
Reply:do you mean your father paid regularly for your up keep - or he didn't that means you mother was a terrible mother for not letting you know or miss spending you money. or have i got it wrong.
Reply:I don't get what you are asking?
Reply:It simply highlights that no system is perfect. What you're asking for is a directed system, where they are required to supply identified objects and benefits. An interesting idea, but one that is even harder to police than the current system. I think you'd end up with even less money going to the children because they don't want to go shopping for shoes, and don't want to go through the trouble of setting up insurance coverage. As it is a judge can order the money directly withdrawn from the paycheque of the father(at least in the court system where I'm from). I don't think that the system you're asking for would be practical without a large supervising body that would drain even more money away. It's tough, but I don't think there is a clear solution.
Reply:nope your right, paying the phone bill didnt buy you a pair of shoes, but i bet you used the phone :) and i bet you had shoes, doesnt matter where the money comes form you were supported, Your father ran off, and you were HIS responsibility he decided not to step up to the plate, your mother on the other hand stepped up and raised you. Who cares if she pockets the money, at least she provided you with food, heat, a bed, clothes, shoes, and even some of the things you wanted and didnt need. Its just the way it is. Kids cost alot more than you obviously know!!! I get 600$ a month for one child, and you know what, that still doesnt cover the expenses of what it costs to raise a 7 year old child. If he wants to be in activities through school, i pay for those, if he has a medical problem, i pay for those, his food costs between 200-300 a month right there, that doesnt include the expenses of taking him to school everyday, picking him up from school, money for this and that at school, Clothes that he outgrows each month, shoes, snow gear. Your not thinking clear enough to see the bigger picture
Reply:Child support is not designed to be money handed to the child to go spend as they want to. It is designed and intended so that you have a roof over your head and food on your table. Whether or not you got a new expensive pair of shoes doesn't matter, and as for you previous question, it really doesn't matter who cheated or why the marriage broke up. It matters who has custody of the children.

I will bet that the whole time you were growing up you had a roof, and clothes, and food to eat, and I willing to be that you probably got a lot stuff that you didn't need but that you wanted. Its not the system's fault that your father couldn't accept his responsibility as a parent and walked away.

When my parents divorced (due to my dad cheating) he was ordered to pay child support and keep medical insurance on both me and my brother. Guess what it never happened. My mom paid for every bit of it, housing and food, clothes, school activities, medical bills.
Reply:I'm not sure what you are asking but......I'm married to a man with 4 kids and we have custody of them all. Their mom is court ordered to pay child support but she pays only when threatened of going to court. Were lawyers free and this a perfect world, she would be in jail now for not paying, trying to sabotage the relationship I have with her kids, and basically not being a mother to them. Being a step-parent is hard, very hard...we also have a child together and I have one from a previous marriage. Anyway, I guess my point is......not all dead-beat parents are dads. Sometimes the best parent IS the dad.

Hill Burton Hotline

1-800-638-0742

(1-800-492-0359 in Maryland)

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Steps to Apply for Hill-Burton Free or reduced-cost Care

1.Find the Hill-Burton obligated facility nearest you from the list of Hill-Burton obligated facilities.

2.Go to the facility's admissions or business office and ask for a copy of the Hill-Burton Individual Notice. The Individual Notice will tell you what income level makes you eligible for free or reduced-cost care, what services might be covered, and exactly where in the facility to apply.

3.Go to the office listed in the Individual Notice and say you want to apply for Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care. You may need to fill out a form.

4.Gather any other required documents (such as a pay stub to prove income eligibility) and take or send them to the obligated facility.

5.If you are asked to apply for Medicaid, Medicare, or some other financial assistance program, you must do so.

6.When you return the completed application, ask for a Determination of Eligibility. Check the Individual Notice to see how much time the facility has before it must tell you whether or not you will receive free or reduced-cost care.

More about Hill-Burton Free or Reduced-Cost Care

You are eligible to apply for Hill-Burton free care if your income is at or below the current HHS Poverty Guidelines. You may be eligible for Hill-Burton reduced-cost care if your income is as much as two times (triple for nursing home care) the HHS Poverty Guidelines.

Care at a Hill-Burton obligated facility is not automatically free or reduced-cost. You must apply at the admissions or business office at the obligated facility and be found eligible to receive free or reduced-cost care. You may apply before or after you receive care -- you may even apply after a bill has been sent to a collection agency.

Some Hill-Burton facilities may use different eligibility standards and procedures.

Hill-Burton facilities must post a sign in their admissions and business offices and emergency room that says: NOTICE - Medical Care for Those Who Cannot Afford to Pay, and they must provide you with a written Individual Notice that lists the types of services eligible for Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care, what income level qualifies for free or reduced-cost care and how long the facility may take in determining an applicant's eligibility.

Only facility costs are covered, not your private doctors' bills. Facilities may require you to provide documentation that verifies your eligibility, such as proof of income.

Hill-Burton facilities must provide a specific amount of free or reduced cost care each year, but can stop once they have given that amount. Obligated facilities publish an Allocation Plan in the local newspaper each year. The Allocation Plan includes the income criteria and the types of services it intends to provide at no cost or below cost. It also specifies the amount of free or reduced cost services it will provide for the year.

When you apply for Hill-Burton care, the obligated facility must provide you with a written statement that tells you what free or reduced-cost care services you will get or why you have been denied.

The facility may deny your request if

·Your income is more than the income specified in the Allocation Plan.

·The facility has given out its required amount of free care as specified in its Allocation Plan.

·The services you requested or received are not covered in the facility's Allocation Plan.

·The services you requested or received are to be paid by a governmental program such as Medicare/Medicaid or insurance.

·The facility asked you to apply for Medicare/Medicaid or other governmental program, and you did not.

·You did not give the facility proof of your income, such as a pay stub.

You may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe you have been unfairly denied Hill-Burton free or reduced-cost care. Your complaint must be in writing and can be a letter that simply states the facts and dates concerning the complaint. You may call your local legal aid services for help in filing a complaint.

I need a good Lawyer!!?

Need good advice and/ or a Good Lawyer?

My ex wife has been living with her new boyfriend and they are engaged for almost two years. They have not gotten married nor does it seem like they are going to. My child support was built around her being a single mother of two - on her salary (schoolteacher) - paying all her own expenses. She actually brought me to court almost two years ago to get an increase - which she did.

Now she is living with him (he is a doctor) - still making her salary - has less expenses (no car payment) and my support is till at the higher rate.

Do I have any options??

Note: She moved away from me 3 years ago (out of state) and I had to sell our house and move also so I could be near my kids (big expense for me and higher cost of living adjustment). In addition to my support - I pay for their Health and Dental Ins. AND she still asks me to pay for other items such as back to school clothes, supplies, etc.

Help me please. I cannot put any money away for my Kid's future.

Need good advice and/ or a Good Lawyer?
First of all, if you are paying child support you are not responsible for paying for extras...that's what HER money is for. Child support is for things your kids need, roof over their head, food, clothes..not extras that they can live without. As to the part about her living with someone else, they may be living together, he may be supporting her, but until they are married his (the boyfriend) income is not considered in your child support figures. When my ex husband and I were going through our divorce, he tried to say that because I had a boyfriend that my boyfriends income should be added in with mine to figure how much child support he pays. In my situation I was responsible for all my own bills, my boyfriend did not pay my bills, nor did the room mate I shared my apartment with. When we went to court, my ex husband told the judge that I had a boyfriend, told him that my boyfriend lived with me, I stated that was true. However, until they (your ex and the boyfriend) are married, the boyfriend's income does not count towards what you do or don't pay. Once they are married however, then his income will get figured in with hers. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but in my situation that was how the cards fell. Now, every state is different, and every judge is different. If you are concerned, contact a lawyer and see what your rights are in this situation. The thing I'm curious about though, is if you are paying your child support to take care of your children, why are you concerned with how much you are paying? Are your children worth less to you just because their mother might be making more now than she was before? These are your children, and no amount of money, and paying less money will not change that. It is your obligation to help take care of them, regardless of what the mother is doing.
Reply:REFUSE TO PAY FOR EXTRA'S!!! This is what your child support is for and if she is so well off then she shouldnt be asking for it anyways. Id see a lawyer asap!
Reply:Discuss it with your lawyer. You have responsibilities as does she. You have your rights too and a lot going in your favour.
Reply:Get a decent lawyer, although that may be hard to find.I think the best option is to go back to court and explain the situation fully. If you take a lawyer who knows his stuff you may get a reduction in payments becase of the circumstances you outlined.

Good luck
Reply:it might help to know where u are from. u do not have to pay for the extra expenses that is in with the child support. also the insurance u would ahve to pay. when they get married is when ur increase should lower.

Check this source out it is a calculator for all states It helps u define what u should really be paying. THis women is cleaning the streets with u

http://www.alllaw.com/calculators/Childs...
Reply:That's selfish she's bitter and greedy, you should only be giving her $300 per child and that's it and if you buy something you should deduct it from that money, you shouldn't have to pay for her and them that's highway robbery. My ex husband gives me $500 a month, pays his insurance and does some shopping for our son but I don't ask for any extras he has to live too.
Reply:uh...only pay what the court has ordered you to pay. plain and simple. and even if she married Bill Gates or Donald Trump what her new husband makes is of no concern of yours or the courts.

you can ask for a re-evaluation for support. that never hurts. she would have to prove she is paying for all of her expenses such as car payments and such. if you have more expenses redo the Income and Expense form. as much as it sucks, any savings accounts or college funds for the kids is still kind of listed as disposable income for the children. technically, it's her responsibilty to save some of the child support money for their college if she so chooses.
Reply:I think that the medical and health care benefits should compensate some of these expenses off your payment. In CA they do include your health care for your children. There is a reason for her not being married yet and that is why. When she does in fact get married you should know your alimony stops. Your child support does not however. You should re-open and re-modify the payments. Keep in mind that the judge will over see the fact that she has a well off fiance. The only thing the court really wants to see in order to favor your stipulation is your consistency, and the actual necessities involved. Meaning, you can request receipts for all she claims to purchase for the children. If that does not add up to what your paying in payments or near enough to justify your contributing a substantial amount of money the judge may just favor you. Save all of your receipts and any extra itinerary add them up, get an attorney and request that you have a fixed budget strictly for your children so she can't use or see a penny of that ... Good luck
Reply:Find out what the common law marriage laws are in your state and her state and talk to an attorney. Also know your divorce laws. Many states now this available online. You may be able to get a reduction, but maybe not. Depends on the laws in your state and maybe even hers. Every state is different. You may get some answers from www.findlaw.com
Reply:maybe its different in different states, but this is what i've found true in oklahoma.....

child support is based only on the father and mothers personal income. any income from other relationships cant be included in determining child support.

i have done some research on parents taking their kids and moving. a parent has to have permission from the other parent to take a child out of the state they live in, especially if you have court orders that specify when you have visitation, etc. this applies to any state. she cannot take your kids and move wherever she wants. that obstructs your visitation and could get her in big trouble. you can google 'custodial interference' and find a lot of information that may be useful. could even be considered a misdemeanor or a felony.

also, in oklahoma, you would have to give her permission to have that guy around your kids. i believe the time cut off is 10pm. they cant be in the house past that time without your permission, let alone live with your kids without your permission and without being married to your ex-wife.

you paying for their insurance is not unusual. here, that is normal.

as for the school supplies and extra costs, that is what your child support is for. she cant demand more money from you without going to court and having the courts order you to do so.

for now, stop doing everything she tells you to do. she cannot legally demand anything without going back to court and getting official court orders.
Reply:That's a good question, Scott. Don't hesitate in contacting a lawyer. A lot of them give free initial consultations so you can at least see if there is anything you can do without having to pay them. Good luck. When you call just ask them if the first appointment/interview is free of charge.

Anyone who produces kids like crazy but can't take care of them should be forcibly sterilized?

I'm sorry but I'm going on a rant today. People who make babies like rabbits but then don't take care of them financially make me sick.

Ex, polygamous men who in the name of their religion make 30 kids with 4 women and yet all his wives are on welfare. Single moms barely making it with 6 kids getting pregnant again while on welfare. Men who have 5 different baby mamas yet don't pay a dime or see their kids. Poor working couples who choose to have 8 kids while living in a 1bdrm apartment. People who choose to start a second family when they know they can't even afford to pay for their kids from the first marriage.

Everyone knows that sexual, emotional, and physical abuse is a evil crime but for some reason financial abuse is given a free slid. Not being able to provide for your kids with good dental, medical, healthy fresh groceries, heat, hydro, school items, clothes, personal items, shelter, furniture, toys, enough living space, health supplies etc is ABUSE.

Anyone who produces kids like crazy but can't take care of them should be forcibly sterilized?
Yes its called Eugenics. You should look it up.

The Nazi thought it was a good idea too!!! Yeah for Nazi's!!!!

Whatever you fascist.
Reply:And what's your question?
Reply:MAYBE not sterilized but the children need good homes.
Reply:You need to get over it...That is the way the world is...you can vent about it all you want... but... it isn't going to change anytime soon.. I understand your animosity...but you have to remember we don't live in a perfect world...
Reply:i haveto say i agree with you. people need to stop having sex if they can't afford it. or wear a mother ******* condom, i mean seriously, come on, people are so freaking idiotic. when i was in midd. school, 2 girls got pregnant. one of 'em twice and she killed the baby cause she stopped eating. they were mexican and with no heart at all. im mexican and i have to say i hate them.
Reply:Forced sterilization. Sure, why not. Nobody in history every did something like that, did they, Adolf.

Nah. Take a look in the papers. There's hundreds of thousands of families who want to adopt kids because they're unable to have their own.

Oh and last I checked, being poor isn't "abuse".
Reply:Awwww someone needs a hug.
Reply:I agree, they should make a law to (fix) those that can't take care of their responsibilities. I as a single/in a relationship mother and I am taking care of my only child with little or no help from the father. He also has two other children by two different women other than myself. They fix animals so this doesn't happen. Its not fair to the children to suffer for all the idiot parents. It's not easy for me but i do it because i have a responsibility to my child to take care of him. If you can't do that you should get fixed and give your children to someone who will love them and take care of them.
Reply:I agree. When I hear of people doing this, it makes me sick. Not only do they not take care of them but the fact that they are having sexual relations with several other people is really bad. To make matters worse these kids are probably subject to this sexual activity because they are uncontrolled or not cared for. My friend adopted 4 children several years ago who had been in this situation. Their mother was, to put it bluntly, a whore and they had to watch as their mother had sex with alot of different men. I'm sure that these children were sexually abused and they now carry that sexual interest that their mother did, they have even been caught on several occasions with having sexual relations with each other, and they are brothers. This is sick and wrong and the only cause is their mother's sick thinking.
Reply:Are you saying being poor is abusive? Now I've heard it all. No, I don't agree with people having children when they won't work and live off welfare. However, I grew up poor, my kids are growing up fairly poor, and you know what, we're just fine. My kids learned to work hard, help people out that need it, and not to look their noses down on others who don't have very much. Your attitude tells me you never had to clean bathrooms for a living, or wait on some snotty customer at a restaurant, or assemble the same thing, over and over, for 10 straight hours. You think the world revolves around you, but what would you do without those of us who "financially abuse" our kids? Who would fix your car, or wash your clothes, or defend your country? Would you even know how to live without electricity, gas, guess what, I do. Maybe you should be sterilized.
Reply:ok ok hold your horses.

Parent: job description?

PARENT - Job Description

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way,

I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!

POSITION :

Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma

Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging

permanent work in an,

often chaotic environment.

Candidates must possess excellent communication

and organizational skills and be willing to work

variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends

and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.

Some overnight travel required, including trips to

primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!

Travel expenses not reimbursed.

Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life.

Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,

until someone needs $5.

Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.

Also, must possess the physical stamina of a

pack mule

and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat

in case, this time, the screams from

the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.

Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,

such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets

and stuck zippers.

Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and

coordinate production of multiple homework projects.

Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings

for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.

Must be willing to be indispensable one minute,

an embarrassment the next.

Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a

half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Must assume final, complete accountability for

the quality of the end product.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and

janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT %26amp; PROMOTION :

None.

Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,

so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.

On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this! You pay them!

Offering frequent raises and bonuses.

A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because

of the assumption that college will help them

become financially independent.

When you die, you give them whatever is left.

The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that

you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental MFEMFEMFE, no pension,

no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and

no stock options are offered;

this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth

and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Forward this on to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis,

letting them know they are appreciated

for the fabulous job they do...

or forward with love

to anyone thinking of applying for the job.
