I think the deadbeat parents need to consider more than just themselves when it comes to paying child support, the numbers below affect the children most of all, I say forget the issues that lead you to where you are and do what’s right. The children should not be the ones to suffer. I know all too well about these issues. The Attorney General’s office does not make things much easier once a court order is established at that point you are pretty much on your own.
Keeping track of your case pretty much becomes your responsibility, you must track where and who the non-custodial parent is employed. As I have experienced if the non- custodial parent is a contractor for instance; that is a very close community of guys; their employer will often times manipulate pay records, or not comply with the AG offices for wage garnishment. It’s messed up I know but it does happen.
If the non-custodial parent falls behind on payment, you had better be ready to do some searching of your own, because the AG office will drag their feet and just let the arrears add up, as you may or may not know if they don’t pay interest adds up, and that interest goes to the state. So, if you want the money that is owed to you, you better be prepared to work for it.
· Did you know that 49% of all custodial parents who have court ordered child support don't receive it?
· 70% of all black children in single parent households live below poverty level.
· 50% of all white children growing up in single parent households who do not receive the child support they are supposed to live at or below poverty level.
