Change On Federal Benefits Payments Could Leave Child Support Debtors With No Income

32. Chile support

Judging by the responses so far I don't think anyone has a clue about what goes on with child support. First of all don't misunderstand what I write as I am all for children being taken care of. What is wrong is the amount taken out for this support of which most of it is spent by mothers on themselves and boyfriends. You can't tell me it takes a hundred dollars a week to feed a child and they don't go through clothes that often either. I know from family members who are going throught this and I see the results in the people that ride my bus. These guys are being taken through the ringer .They can't afford a car or apartment. If they get behind its jail time.After that its a job loss and a continuing cycle of low wage jobs jail time etc. One guy asked his ex when she was going to get a job and her response was I don't have too.If a better paying job comes along the increase in wages is sucked up in higher support payments. All the people I have spoken with don't begrudge their children the necessities but all have said the ex wives are abusing the money and it is not going where it should.
