Fathers in Missouri and all across the United States are being stripped of
their pride, their self-dignity and their basic freedom because the Division
of Child Support Enforcement and the courts have been unsuccessful in
developing any new programs that promote self-sufficient families where the
father can have the opportunity to be actively involved in the life of their
children.

Many hardships and insurmountable odds contribute to other problems that
arise. Eventually, everyone suffers from this seemingly inescapable turmoil.
Many fathers suffer from depression, low self-esteem and some often suffer
nervous breakdowns. There have also been accounts of suicide when a father
has become overwhelmed by the pressures applied through Child Support
Enforcement, the courts and the harassment from local law enforcement.

You know, I truly feel for fathers who are taken advantage of and have
unfair CS amounts to pay, ect.

But a mother who might be a single mother because the father left might feel
the same way. She can feel depressed, overwhelmed by life's expectations,
have low self-esteem and suffer from nervous breakdowns. Heck, they might
even commit suicide.

These situations are tragic regardless of the sex involved.

Yeah sure being in jail is the same as raising a child.  /sarcasm   How you
can compare the two is absolutely sickening.

You criticize Bob for his extreme views when you are far worse on the far
other end of the extreme.

Where did I say the 2 compared? Can you read my post again please. I said
that a mother can feel as desperate as a man. Yeah, imagine both sexes
suffer in life.

Sure, I talk of murdering men all the time. I am the opposite of Bob......
/SARCASM

I feel sorry for those who can't see both sides of the coin. I am far from
extreme, I just see both sides and bring them to light.

You condone a system in which the end result is the same.  The system you
support places men in extreme circumstances where they commit suicide and
end up in prison where they may be raped, beaten or killed.  This not to
mention having their children ripped from their lives, they are forced into
homelessness and they are striped of their possessions.

This therefore makes you no different than Bob but on the other extreme.

Why do I say I support the system? Again, you have no idea on my feelings
about the 'system'.

There is a huge difference actually.  Bob consistently supports equal
rights, while the feminists support greed and oppression.

I am a single mom with 2 kids with a court order for child support thru
missouri.   and my ex fled to texas with every intention of NOT paying
his obligated child support.  the system has not been able for the last
2 years to get the child support money my kids are owed. well while he's
out having a good ol time every nite doin whatever he does now, while my
kids are doing without certain things because he doesn't want to be a
man and take care of 2 responsibilities he helped create.  these men are
not defeated......there're deadbeats.....plain and simple.....they can
play but when it comes to payin, they're running......

I agree that there are NCPs who do not fulfill their obligations.  Just as
there are custodial parents who do not fulfill their obligations.  But that
in no way makes every man who can not pay his court-ordered child support a
deadbeat.  You must not fall into the trap of painting every man who does
not meet his child support obligations with the same brush as your ex.  Out
of curiosity, was your ex offered 50/50 custody of the kids?
Kenneth S. - 17 Jul 2004 02:10 GMT
   As you must be aware, this money is NOT owed to your children.  If what
you say is correct, the money is owed to YOU.

   The technique of talking of child support as owed to the children is
widely used, both by mothers and by CS bureaucrats.  However, it's a
fundamentally dishonest technique all the same.  It's used because it sounds
better to say that the money is owed to innocent children than to say that
fathers owe the money to adult women.

   I don't know what your situation is, other than what you say here (and
who can verify what is said in news groups about individual situations?)
However, research has indicated that most men who are behind on their
so-called "child support" are themselves impoverished, and are scarcely able
to support themselves, never mind the mothers of their children.
Furthermore, research also shows that most of these men are not separated
from their families because of their own choices.  They have been kicked out
of their families by the mothers of their children.

And you have to assume from all the identical cases that get posted here,
when the mother tells the father to get out of her life and never come back
she failed to recognize at the time he would actually take her up on her
demand and disappear.

My great-nephew has just found himself in a very predictable situation.
1. She says the baby isn't his
2. He requests a paternity test
3. Baby is his/he wants custody
4. She files PFA/Exits dad
5. She gets free lawyer
6. She files for support
7. He can't afford a lawyer
8. Another child grows up without dad (and a very loving dad)
These two parents were high school "sweethearts" and neither graduated. Because
of the baby, he immediately enrolled in community college and hopes to get
himself financially established so he can afford a lawyer and take care of his
child. He has a long hard road ahead (I didn't tell him that.)

I'm totally guessing - Does PFA stand for PA Family Assistance?

Protection from abuse. Woman requests it and it is granted under the presumption
of guilt. The man has to either contest it in court or attend classes/therapy to
have it removed. Isn't that how it is done elsewhere?

My state calls this a Temporary Restraining Order.  Women request them all
the time as a tactical move in divorce and have no obligation to prove any
abuse.  It's only important to allege abuse!  Courts never require a woman
to prove her allegations.

That is a real shame.  No man ought to have to flee for his life to
avoid the slave chasers.

There is no such thing as **paying** child support.  There is only
paying you.

You created them babe.  Only a woman crates children.  You had the only
legal "choice" to create or not to create the children.  Your choice,
your responsibility.

Typical feminist greed.  Men-pay, women-get-paid.

Yep, since feminism it has not been free for men at all.  He is running
for his life from slave chasers.
