How does this present administration view dead beat dads? I have received no child support for 26 months, my ex husbnd is a Greek Orthodox Priest who holds a valid Marriage Counselor Licence and Mental Health Therapist.
Gee, maybe we should ask them what their "view" is on your choice of kitchen wallpaper? /sarcasm off
Seriously, it's a stae issue. Contact your state attorney generals office.
Anyone smell troll ?
Stuning.
Bush's fault !!
I would image it views them pretty much like they view dead beat MOMs!
:o|
Are you encouraging him to take his parenting time with his child(ren)?
Why would you marry a Mental Health Therapist? That should have been a warning.
No, IMO just someone in a difficult position.
...go to his church, announce the fact that he doesn't pay child support; petition his bishop. Got to your state's child advocacy office (enforcement division)...but the administration has nothing to do with this issue.
They have a much more solemn view of them they they have of LIVE beat dads.
Is this true?
I'll make it real easy for you:
1. Go to your county's child support office.
2. Show them the court order that requires your ex to pay child support.
3. Tell them you have not recieved any support.
4. Demand county Social Services benefits for your kids because you are destitute and receiving no support.
Because you request financial aid(at least in my state), the county will assist you and go after the ex to recoup their expenses.
Sarah: You may want to respond to some of the questions on this thread. Otherwise you may be branded as a TROLL!
Poster is fairly new, list of posts is odd, and blames Bush for her troubles ? She wasn't asking for advice; she was asking how to blame the Bush administration.
I think we need a Viking Kitty investigation...
Well that's an argument for allowing married Catholic priests if I've ever heard one... /sarcasm
They were married, so we're not talking a one night stand here. Sounds like you think fathers are disposable.
Google is your friend also:

By his combo occupation/licence, your ex has probably
justified in his own mind the denial that you and your
child are due any recompense at his expense. He's
also probably convinced himself the child is not his
and you are not the woman he thought you were when he married you. Add that to the idea he can categorize
you as a mental case, and where are you?
It still comes down to the old adage:
which party has the best lawyer!
Those laws re Dead Beat Dads are in effect. It's
the lawyers who get to pick and choose their clients.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound so callous. But you
asked about the Bush Administration's stand on
the topic. If the laws are on the books (and they
are), what the President's attitude is has little
bearing on the issue.
