Now I am a firm believer of keeping finances separate ...


Why, if you don't mind sharing?

Nat, it’s a lot of individualization involved but I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that I am quite the pessimist and am always preparing for the worst. Going through law school taking courses in Wills and Trusts didn’t help. When I finally began to understand the divisional aspects of divorce (even with the existence of a pre/post numpt) it scared the begeezus out of me, so much that I am so afraid of marriage at this point in my life and it is one of the reasons I have been putting it off. I have witnessed divorces where one spouse made more than the other (surprisingly, it was not always the man). I make a good enough salary and so my chances of marrying someone making less than I do I see as almost a given. Also I am a saver and an investor and probably will have more assets so in a divorce it is more likely that I would be paying palimony unless I can establish that the ex is not so financially dependant on me. I have children and my primary goal is always first to secure their future, it’s what I have worked so hard and persevered through odds for. I am dreaded of the possibility of having to take away from them because I would have to take care of someone else that is otherwise healthy and therefore can care for themselves. (Shoot, I have worked 3 jobs and walked 4 miles to and from work to live and get the bills paid.) Then there is also the child support issue. I would flip if someone came after me when I never even sought child support from my own BD and that is a shared responsibility. I have learned that when it comes to personal finances because the arrangements are so much considered in the courts like a business partnership, for my circumstances it is best to keep them separated. Now for daily household items, cable, furniture, items acquired during the marriage, etc. that’s shared. But we will have his car in his name, my car in my name, credit card in his name, mine in my name, taxes filed separately, etc. So I guess it boils down to, for me in case of a divorce,

Child support is based on the parents income and the number of children they have.....your spouse is not responsible for taking care of children from a spouses prior relationship.



that's understood, but if they file jointly, if will affect the other spouse...take it a next step, lets say they both own a home, they're going to do a property attachment for back CS...I see it all the time.



Let me tell you, very rarley have the court done a property attachment, they will keep bring the arrears parent back into court to try to squeeze a dollar out of them. If they attach the property how do you suppose they get the money from that property? The courts don't want to be in the auction business. That doesn't stop you from a individual from doing it, but most people won't do it.

You'll it is a detention center, it isn't the hard core jail, most of these guys get out over night, how, because their momma or girlfriends some how comes up with the amount owed. So, why doesn't he use this technich when the child support is due every month.

Philly - sorry you are going struggling with the boys. Hopefully they will get it together soon.

My daughter's father was a professional hustler and criminal so owing child support or working was the last thing on his mind. I still filed. By the time he got his life together...he owed me so much money. He's finally started working and paying...took forever but it's paying off now that my daughter will leave for college in another year. If he's not caught him by then...he still gotta pay.



thanks Shemmy,

filed for support of course day one it was years before I saw a dime. then they started garnishing his wages when he worked for the city, then the $ stopped! So he was in arrears and then all of a sudden he filed his taxes and I recvd whopping check for arrears!!!! That happened a few times then he stopped filing taxes DUMMY!!! I had to actually got to the state building a few years back to speak to an enforcement supervisor because I would call child support and they would issue a warrant then he would pay 25.00 and be released and not show up to court! just pitiful..... I plan to make it my main goal to bring him down in 2009! yes.gif because he just keeps having children and neglects the ones he has I am not having it!




KK, this is exactly why the jail and driver license procedures were put in place, because the will try to run a game on the system to get out of paying.

QUOTE (sus @ Jun 4 2009, 01:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My problem with the support enforcement is multi-fold -

First, I fully believe that if you have a child, you need to support it - But, the guidelines that are set out are often applied to strictly, and they tar everyone with the same brush - it is a system that needs to be fixed -

Second, if the custodial parent is receiving state assistance, and any child support is collected - the state pays themselves back FIRST, then sends any leftover money to the custodial parent - for too many parents, the state assistance is barely enough to make it - I just have an issue with that, the money should go to the child. I used to do a lot of pro bono work with low income - one of the first questions we always had to ask was if they were getting CS - The answer was usually no - Some people I worked with would insist that the woman file for support. However, if you dug deeper, you found that the father bought diapers, clothes, formula,.... so even though there wasn't a formal support order, it was better for the woman not to file - if she asked for child support, the father would probably stop doing this - and the state would see the money, not her -



SUS, those items do not count toward the financial support of the child, the father would have been better off, giving the money to the mother in a MO, he would have been able to say he had support the child.

NO NO NO, this is not the new spouse responsibility. This is ONLY between the two parents......

So it boils down to making the mother/father who didn't pay face a punshiment. Okay fine. But the whole objective of supporting the child financially is thrown out the window. I'm so not saying there shouldn't be any punishment. But I'm looking at more of the objective..here. The single mother/father needs the financial help too.

Question: After the child reaches 18 yrs is back child support still required?


I think so but once they reach 18 doesnt the money go directly to the child? Also if the child goes to school doesnt the parent have to continue paying until 21??



No, the money does not go to the child, the school thing is done different by each state. Most states are raising the age limit to 21 to try to accomodate the college thing.

Okay...so their credit is jacked up until they pay.



KK, you can't get a passport if you are in arrears for childsupport. Most states cannot require a father to help pay for college for their children, so when alot of these kids turn 18, the father stops paying and the mother have to responsibility alone in aiding their child with college loans and tutions. That's why saome states are making the rquirement of child support until the child turns 21 years of age.



I agree...and should provide health coverage until they are 21.

I like this enforcement:

Financial Institution Data Match (FIDM)

QUOTE
States are required to identify and garnish, if appropriate, assets of parents owing past-due child support through a database match with financial institutions.

Not paying is lying in curt, because they have agreed to pay the set amount on a monthly basis and they are not doing it. So what's the difference?

That is the Federal Law in every state for Child Support


Here u get to sue the dad no matter what. So what if he doesn’t have a job he still has to pay something and then they give him a certain amount of time to get a job. If not he gets locked up, his driver’s license can be revoked and it goes on his credit. He sits in jail for a while and then they let him out to find a job and if not well back to the slammer buddy…

If you take him back to court, the Judge will enforce it.



I have issues with this and maybe because I don't have kids...but I've seen it done to other people. Actually a mother. See in Florida in order to get any public benefits..insurance/welfare for child you are caring you. You must file child support on the parents.

I just don't see how locking them up, revoking his/her driver's license is even going to "help" (using that word loosely) get a job. It's like a lost cause. Now they have a record...and can't drive to work...which means the likelihood of them finding a new one is going to be harder. So they already aren't paying..I'm sure they are not worried about no credit score.

Then the effect on the child...I mean now are they really going to try to be in their life now. Shoot...they will be in jail half the time.

There has just to be a better way to enforce child support.

Just my view on it. I admit it might be because I haven't experienced this.

i think it's a FANTASTIC idea, in the sense that men OFTEN play the system as regards child support, ie they pretend they can't get job or they aren't working.
Now, they got the woman pregnant, the CHILD is there, if it's working in MCDONALD"S they had better take it. Now the ONLY way I feel sorry for them is if there are NO jobs to be had, but I am SURE there's SOMETHING there.


I have very mixed feelings on this - Because in some cases, there is a need for extreme measures - but all too often, the judges tar everyone with the same brush rather than dealing with the situation on a case by case situation. My ex had 2 kids when he was young (at 16) - They never had a support order in place - The woman lived on welfare, and he gave her cash (no receipts) = way way more than he should have. Welfare went after the woman to get her to give him up, and they went after him for CS - she went into the hearing and claimed he NEVER paid a dime, so he got tagged with a HUGE arrearage and a support order. If she had said he paid, she woulda been in trouble for double dipping. Since he paid cash, he had no records.

As a result, he only paid her what he was ordered to pay - still gave his girls whatever they needed, but his ex got a min,. amount in her pocket, which pissed her off and she dragged him in and out of court. Then, he got hurt on the job and was out of work - She went after him for contempt, and the judge ordered him to pay $1500 within a week, or go to jail -

How can that be valuable to anyone, or how reasonable is that? He had a valid reason why he fell behind in his support - he was injured!




Sus- I think this is the angle I'm taking with my opinion. I hope that the jail thing is more like a last resort.

Married Lovers came out June of 2008. So, I am going to assume she still is.


I might have to get it for old times sake..




DADA, I love Charolette, North Carolina... schools are good, and the housing market is a fair market price. The job market there is good aswell.

That is the Federal Law in every state for Child Support


Here u get to sue the dad no matter what. So what if he doesn’t have a job he still has to pay something and then they give him a certain amount of time to get a job. If not he gets locked up, his driver’s license can be revoked and it goes on his credit. He sits in jail for a while and then they let him out to find a job and if not well back to the slammer buddy…

If you take him back to court, the Judge will enforce it.

Please don't mis-understand me, I love a good read better than any body, but this book is nothing but a fiction. So, enjoy it for what it is..Good read lieing on the beach, with some comedy sprinkle in between the lines.

KK, I am sure he may say something they haven't heard before. Remember it's a male prospective and views of hoew he see things. Also Steve Harvey is from the 60's to 70's generation, his take maybe more out of touch with what the 80's and 90's generation is dealing with.

KK, Steve Harvey been married and divorce 3 times, why would I listern to someone who couldn't get it right themselves. That is like the pot calling the kettle black. Those are my thoughts and comments.
