Ping
Thanks for the ping, my friend.
A good article except it slants toward minority, low-income men as being the main victims of this apparatus.
It also does not identify the child-worshipping mommy culture that currently exists and undermines marriages like termites eating a wood-framed house.
Being neither a "minority" nor "low-income," my experiences in court are such that I will never forget facing the gynocracy that has sprung up wrt this.
You are assumed guilty and incapable of voluntary payment (thank you Bill Clinton).
The child support "guidelines" offer no appeal.
The recipient of the child support does not have to count the money as income.
The involuntary giver of the child support receives no tax benefit from it.
Godgov now has an IRS form that you have to have the ex "agree" to using a child as a dependent on the tax form no matter what was stipulated in the settlement agreement.
Getting my ex to sign the form has now morphed into an annual event (the form allows 2 options: annually or once for all). Oh goody.
