Economic crisis turns some desperate dads into criminals
Article here. Excerpt:
"Since an article written on father’s rights I have received numerous emails on the subject and the things I have heard are frightening. One in particular came from Samantha who’s husband pays $600.00 per month in child support for one child. His ex wife is remarried and owns her home. She has no mortgage or rent to pay yet she takes Dave to court every three years to raise the child support. Dave has two children at home with his new wife Samantha and their two children have always gone without because of the high child support. Dave has fought for years to see his child without any luck. Now Dave has been laid off from his job because of the economic crisis. The couple could barely afford to pay their mortgage let alone a $600.00 child support payment. This is where the ever growing bureaucracy called the child support enforcement agency comes in. Since being laid off, Dave had sent out hundreds of resumes and not one single interview. It wasn't Dave’s fault yet the child support bureau suspended his license and he was being hauled into court. Dave was now a criminal and said he would start robbing people to avoid going to jail. After that the child support bureaucracy started taking child support from Dave’s unemployment and he and his family lost their home. Two kids were now homeless for the sake of one. I wont tell you what Dave does now."
