[QUOTE="bran155, post: 225675"] Good for him for stepping up. More than I can say for my daughter!! I know how frustrating this struggle is. And you are so right these people are not used to dealing with parents that actually care. These deadbeats are making it much harder on us warrior parents. The state sued me for child support, I told them I could not afford it. They did not care. They sued me because I am not on welfare and figured since I am not getting any assistance that I can afford to pay. NOT!!! The judge told me if I could prove that I have been there for my daughter and that she is not in this situation due to choices that I made then I would not have to pay. So I did, I brought in numerous documents, letters from the SD, my SW, I even wrote my congresswoman a letter requesting help, I brought that too. Didn't work, I am in arrears of almost $4,000. I understand where they are coming from. They are tired of picking up the slack for these drug addicted deadbeat parents who caused their children to end up in the system. But that is just not fair to parents like us who did the right thing. I even appealed it and lost!!! It really ticks me off. If I was a crackhead at home collecting money and food stamps from the state and getting all of my bills paid then I wouldn't have to pay the child support. Makes no sense!!!! Sorry, I got going there and couldn't stop. I am still so angry about how that went down. The system needs to be revamped big time. [/QUOTE]
