I reside in New Jersey. My case is in Florida. Let me start by saying Happy New Year. So my issues are the following. I need an explanation and if any lawyer feels that I have a case to build towards who ever it is then I am all in, this has to stop. Example: The mother has a child while working now gets Medicaid, food stamps, wic, vouchers. Things don't work out with the father he gets put on child support. The father gets served he goes to court sees a clerk and they tell him what he has to pay plus the retro. you get hit with 39k in retro for 6 months of the child being born. ( ????) Mind you I was making $14.50 an hour. So I now I start paying for it, the mother is still working, Medicaid, food stamps and vouchers. The mother is living a luxurious life at this point all this money coming from every different way. 10 years later I request a downward in my support 10 YEARS. that's how long it took me to pay off the retro. for those 10 years she collected all of that, while I struggled keeping a second job to stay afloat. From my understating is when the custodial parent ask for public assistance that's when they go after the non-custodial parent. So what should happen at that point some of the public assistance should go away. But it doesn't she continues to get them. Even to current time she continues to get them. Now the Child support law says the support is required for the well being of the child. ( ????) Well being of the child well riddle me this if the father is out working 2 to 3 jobs to be able to live now can't see the child what did you really do??? Now we go into the issue of trying downward your child support after 10 years I did it why cause my financial changed. But ready for this they lower your child support and hit you with any medical bills. How can there be any medical bills if you are Medicaid. I know there is things that the Medicaid doesn't cover. So once again what they really do. I am moving forward this because its WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS. THEY SAY WE WORRY ABOUT THE WELL BEING. Explain this to me, I get hit one child 241.52 every two weeks, 200.31 every weeks for other children, and 82 every two weeks for another child this all being a $9.00 an hour and $11.00 an hour 2 different jobs. one job 40 hours for two weeks, and the other 25 hours for two weeks. Now me working I can't get my son from Florida cause I wont have the time to spend them. BUT THEY WORRY OF THE WELL BEING. YEAH RIGHT THEY LEFT THE CHILD IN THE AIR CAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING ARE THE WHATS IN BLACK AND WHITE THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW WHATS WRITTEN. SOMEONE CAME UP WITH IT AND DIDNT REALIZE WHAT THE ULTIMATE RESULT WOULD BE. I am sending letters to congressman and senators in my district. I also have friends in the same issue and are doing the same thing in many different states. Attorneys please shine some light on us. I know there is many ways to downward the support, requesting timesharing, submitting financial affidavit. But the real reason I am on here is who is watching the custodial parents get away with all that they get away with. I served my country proudly and will still do it anytime. But when I see this happening I ask myself who is watching this is anyone monitoring this.
