[QUOTE="peg2, post: 51039, member: 2133"] I hate to say I disagree with anyone, but I work in the system as well as having had a child in placement myself twice and it is very expensive for the state to pay for their care. I was court ordered to pay support, with no questions asked. The hearing officer looked at my paystub and ordered me to pay $400.00 per month. No questions as to my expenses,etc. here in NJ they have a formula they use and all they look at is gross pay. No deductions,etc. Parents here have had to take their children out of programs because they can't afford to pay. I do beleive we should all pay because we pay when they live with us anyway, but it should be based on income and expenses. I was ordered to court 6 months after my child was placed, and he was there 16 months. My $400.00 was only my share, my ex-husband was ct. ordered to pay the other 1/2. Here, a Judge will not make any exceptions, if you don't pay, the sheriff's dept. will issue a bench warrant and pick you up!!! [/QUOTE]
