Quoted:
There was a thread recently about why guys shouldn't have to pay or something stupid like that. Oh they should pay but the amount is something many disagree on. My children do not consume a 1/3 of my income presently but if I were divorced you can be sure the child support would meet or exceed that amount. Past a certain point you're no longer just supporting the children you're partially supporting the mother too which is bull shit. |

To answer your question it depends on the state and other circumstances. ETA: In Iowa it is a felony so he could be in a while. |

At one time I was giving almost HALF of my monthly pay. I have both my girls and about $200 bucks of month and they're good to go, and the mom doesn't even pay me child support. I filed to get her to pay like two years ago, and yeah she lives with her mom and they won't even touch her.

To answer your previous question it depends on the state and other circumstances. ETA: In Iowa it is a felony so he could be in a while. Because unlike a lot of cases we are still very good friends. She is also the co dependant type so now her man is gone. And she knows I won't bull shit her I will give her the best advice based on knowledge I have or will try to get her an educated answer or I will tell her flat out I don't know Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

A friend of mine won custody from the mother after her third DUI (she had the kid in the car at the time of arrest). She had been shacking up with different guys and dragging the kid from home to home with her. While in her custody he paid her nearly $500 a month on one child. She pays him around $60 per month.

The best advice you can give your ex is to forget the deadbeat. Unless, of course; she happens to have a thing for guys with criminal records, on probation, in jail, that don't support their children. Ha ha ha ha been telling her that for a while she won't listen. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Well that was a short thread thanx for the info guys  Perhaps it's best to be short rather than four pages of arm chair family law practitioners telling you what they "think" is the case. My only advice is to refer her to an attorney. Like I said in family law and support cases there are too many variables in each individual case to give you a clear answer. It all comes down to the presiding judge in the end. Once again failure to pay support in Iowa (I'm guessing this is in Iowa) is a felony. He could be in for six months or six years. |

Depends on state and what he works out with the court. We have a "purge" amount he can pay (like 10% or something) as his bond and get out of jail. We don't have room for deadbeat dads for the most part, unless they are constantly trying to get over on the system. Then they'll get hooked for a while. He could also work out a deal for work furlogh to get/keep his day job.
I was 24K in arrears, but I worked out with them to pay the back amount. That was for two years at 1K per month for a daughter I hadn't seen since she was 1 year old. She's now 24 and I have a relationship with her and her mother can't do a thing about it. I didn't go to jail and I'm currently working in LE. |

I've known a number of guys paying child support in various amounts, but I know the details of only one non-support case. The ex-wife would take the guy to court, the judge would order him to pay, he would pay for four or five months and quit, the ex-wife would take the guy to court, the judge would order him to pay, he would pay for four or five months and quit, the ex-wife would take the guy to court, the judge would order him to pay, he would pay for four or five months and quit, the ex-wife would take the guy to court, the judge would order him to pay, he would pay for four or five months and quit... I knew her through four or five iterations of this, each cycle lasting around a year or a little less, as I recall.
The ironic thing was that the money the guy saved by not paying support as well as the money the woman received as a result of the annual trip to court went for attorneys fees. Great system, huh? (Before you ask: not a dime) Jane |

Says good things about you. Sounds like she should have been cool to work it out with you since you are the one she turns to when things go sideways. |
