Argumentative Essay On Child Support

Mothers struggle every day without the non-custodial parent paying child support. Some may not know their options and how they can receive help. The paying of child support from the non-custodial parent should be obligatory.

It has further been argued by many that child support payments do not cover enough of the current support of the child, let alone cover the "extras" a child may need now or in the future, therefore, no cap should be placed on child support obligations. As stated above, the CP has the right to ask for modification of a

PER REPORTER: Jody’s mother called his neighbor to tell her to tell Jody that he needed to call the police because they were looking for him. He found out that they were looking for him because Ajiyia rode the bus to his house from school. When Chastity found out she went to the police station, and showed them papers stating that Jody does not have legal rights to their two children. Jody spoke with Lt. Prentiss Hentley and he told him about the papers that were brought in by Chastity. Jody then stated “why am I paying child support if I don’t have legal rights”. He also wants to know why he is paying child support if he has never had a blood test done. He is also concerned about his daughter and son. He stated that his daughter only has three

Many fathers of unmarried births do not pay child support to the mothers of their children. Some say that enforcing child support on the father may be harmful to the relationship the father has with the child. We need to have more of an understanding of the age and abilities of the parents of the child are able to provide for them economically.

The definition of a Deadbeat is a parent of either gender who have freely chosen not to be supportive parents or who do not pay their child support obligations. The most common criticism is the term itself which many view as scornful and insulting. In the state of Arizona, the policies involving child support are not aimed specifically at “Deadbeat Dads” and instead focus equally on mother’s and father’s. Due to this, I found it difficult to find information pertaining only to fathers. However, after thorough research and based on the text ““Deadbeat Dads”: Irresponsible Parents or Political Scapegoats?” I can understand why fathers are more often targeted considering they make up the vast majority of noncustodial parents.

Paternity leave used to be just for women. Due that they are in need of recovery after giving birth to a child and require time to bond with the new born before they come back to working full time. But what about the father of that child? Should they be afforded the same time or at least a limited amount of time in order to form the initial bond with their child. The laws in business holds companies responsible to treating men and women the same. As the Equal Rights Amendment states “The United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex; it seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters”. Paid paternity leave should definitely be a law enforced in all states.

If you're owed back child support keep your fingers crossed that your baby's Father gambles at any Iowa casino! Why would you wish that when he owes thousands in back pay? Because the state of Iowa has wised up and are fighting back! Anyone who owes child support, back taxes or court debts have a good chance of getting their casino, race track and lottery winnings forfeited.

There are three reason for this. Child support is something that is owed throughout a child's life; it is not a one time payment. Second, it is cumulative, so a mother can sue for back child support, and third, this is a debt that cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy. We routinely work with attorneys to find fathers, so they can be made to fulfill their financial obligations to their

The child support obligation is mutual, consistent with what is in the best interest of the child, and is calculated according to the income of both parents.

Sometimes, unfortunately, the child is not wanted though. While a man can say what he wants he, in the end, has no right to force the woman’s hand either way. If the man wants to put the baby up for adoption he has little choice in the matter. If the woman decided to keep the child the man is forced to pay for child support if the two do not stay together. This can be a problem for some men. A minimum wage job does not leave much room for one person to live, let alone it that person is now forced to pay child support. It is not fair to the father to have such a crippling financial burden placed on him if he simply can afford to pay. There is a way, though, that this could all be fixed. A child support opt-out. Now this process should not be easy, if a person is making over $30,000 a year they are well-off enough to afford the help. Often times it is necessary for the woman to have the support, but not always does it have to be financial. In the end both people are responsible for their children. The man should not just have a ‘get-out-of-jail-free card’ when it comes to supporting their child. He should have to either meet very certain financial maximums, or be required to take care of the child on weekends or other times. The way the current system is it is unfair for people who make little money and have little to no money left after giving themselves the most basic of

“At least 79 countries’ national laws include paternity leave entitlements, nearly all of which are paid.” (Linshi). Many fathers in the United States and around the world do not get paid paternity leave. If new mothers can get paid maternity leave, why can’t the fathers? The two main reasons why men should also get paid paternity leave are so that they can bond with the child and it will cause in increase in gender equality at work as well as in the home.

If the husband does not choose divorce, the man is still obligated to pay child support. If the husband does want a divorce, and the man knew the woman was married, he is also responsible for the divorce expenses along with the woman. If the woman and man decide to stay together after the woman’s divorce, they are both responsible for the care of the child. If the man and woman do not remain together after the woman’s divorce, again, custody would initially be given to the father due to the woman’s infidelity making her an unfit parent. If the man does not want custody of the child, it will remain with the woman and he will be responsible for child

There are several factors that go into determining child support payments. This includes both parents’ gross income, the number of children, and the custodial arrangement. For example, a parent who has the child for three days a week will pay less in child support than a parent who only sees the child a few hours a month. The parent who has the child more often is likely already paying more for the child’s needs and expenses.

Many noncustodial parents think that they are paying too much money for child support and that the courts were unfair to them. In general the courts will base

There have been a few occasions in life where I have felt compelled to speak out against what I felt was an unfair practice. When the feeling of injustice arises, I usually attempt to find a rational, or an old saying to make me feel better about an unpleasant development. An example of the old sayings I refer to for comfort are, “It’s just not the right time”, or “God knows what I am can handle”. The sayings provide a bit of comfort, but when it comes to Child Support and the rules I am at wits end. I feel that the rules are totally unfair and destroy any hope for financial stability, peace, or truth for either party.
