Borked Pseudo Mailed - 02 Jan 2006 07:25 GMT
Joint physical custody should be presumed.  It's in the best interest of
the children, unless there is proven abuse (documented by a conviction in
criminal court) or unless the parents make an agreement otherwise.

Also, in a divorce, BOTH parents should be mandated to remain in the same
immediate geographical area, to enable the children to be in same schools,
retain same activities, environment and friends.  If one of the parents
wishes to move from the area, that's fine, but he or she has to give up
joint custody and has to pay child support to the other parent.

Here's where the thinking on family issues is all wrong, Government
shouldn't be mandating anything for any of it's citizens!
I don't remember anybody agreeing that government should have complete
control over any citizen because they have entered into Divorce status.

Nonsense! Moving does not justify forcing one parent to give unearned income
to the other.
There should be no penalty for moving.

So if the custodial parent takes the children and moves far away from the
non-custodial parent, that's just fine with you?

That's fine, as long as we're not forced to pay for the move!

Does the Government have to control every aspect of our lives?

The custodial parent has already taken the children away; what's the
difference?

Like hell there shouldn't.  Taking off with your kids, without court
approval; without allowing the children's other parent to remain a
significant part of their lives; to uproot them, to tear them away from
their family and friends by a self-serving parent - the penalty for such an
offence should be death by firing squad, no blindfold, no possible reprieve,
no last wish.

An unmarried person should be financially penalized for moving no more so
than a married person should be. Last I checked, America was spelled with a
"C"..... not a "K".

I see. So all of the above is fine so long as it has the blessings of the
Kourt.

No, you don't see.  You've missed my point entirely, and that was that
it's -NOT- OK for anyone to run away with the kids.  Or do I need to use
larger letters?

What did you mean by "without court approval"?

Oh, I got one!!  But it's in three parts and not all the kinks are worked
out yet..

How about this..

1.  Parents that CAN pay their C$, but REFUSE to, for whatever reason, will
have all their worldly belongings confiscated, sold at auction (save for
family heirlooms, those become the property of the original owners, if
possible - if not, then your kids get it all) and the proceeds will go into
a special bank account (with state spending oversight in place - if it ain't
for the kiddies, CP must repay the amount in full within 15 days or forfeit
custody to the state until the money is returned) that will be used to
benefit your kids (not the CP).  Also, all REFUSING-TO-PAY parents will be
placed in work camps, sleep in military style dorms and forfeit ALL their
take home pay until such time as their "debt" is paid in full.
Transportation to and from their place of employment will be provided so
they may keep they job and not be able to say that GovCo caused their loss
of work.  Also, if the employer is uncomfortable with this arrangement -
they can talk with the IRS.

2.  Parents that CANNOT pay their C$ because of economic problems, activist
judges, over zealous CSE agents, etc.. These parents will be given
head-of-the-line privileges to apply for any and all FEDERAL, STATE and
LOCAL government jobs.  These parents will also be given preferential
treatment for jobs in the private sector (employers will receive tax breaks
as a "Thank you" for keeping these parents employed - provided they can
actually do the job they where hired for).  If retraining in a new field is
required, for any reason, the cost for this retraining will be covered by
the state (with federal assistance if need be).  If these parents require
housing, food, transportation, counseling, etc.. then this too will be born
by the federal and state governments.

3.  Any person that interferes with the God given RIGHT for a parent to the
care, custody and companionship of their children shall be given over to
summary execution immediately.

Dusty I have to say you impressed me. You should run for office on this
platform. I would vote for you.
very nicely done with only two things missing. Insurance must be
maintaned at all times for the child and education of child threw
college is a must.

Insurance, yes - but at special, reduced rates so a kids stay in the
hospital won't bankrupt their parents..

Cover college??  Nope, not a chance.  A secondary education is a choice and
should be covered by the parents -only- if they can afford it (and junior
had damned well better get off his/her Xbox and get a job to help them out).

Let me put it to you like this..  Are married and non-married
(co-habitating) parents required to pay for their kids college?  No, they
most certainly are not required to do so.  Yet, in a great number of states,
NCP parents ARE required to pay for junior's frat house fun trip.

If you're gonna force one group of people to pay, then EVERYONE pays.  To do
otherwise is illegal, immoral and definitely unconstitutional.

Yup, starting with the payment of "child support".

If only more people would realize that too...

Education through college?   Are you nuts?   Since when has a college
education become an entitlement.   A large number of people receiving
degrees have no business being in college, and are simply wasting time and
money.

Insurance?   That is a private matter for individuals to decide based on
their own risks.

I see nothing wrong with a CP making education decisions for children in
their custody.  I believe a CP should have the option to divert pre-18 care
and maintenance CS received into a college fund or education IRA.  That
practice would be consistent with how married parents handle pre-college
financial planning.

Where the CS system gets wacky is when the CP's are not encouraged to save
for a child's college education using pre-18 CS, and then double dip by
having the NCP's subsidize their lack of college financial planning with
post-18 CS payments.  Married parents don't get a second bite at the apple
for failing to pre-plan for college.

> Insurance?   That is a private matter for individuals to decide based on

Medical insurance is one of the major injustices in the CS system.  Coverage
for children only is not possible.  NCP's are forced to pay to insure
themselves first before they can insure their children.  The CS system only
recognizes the add-on the parental coverage in award calculations.  The cost
of insuring the adult is totally ignored but is a very real expense for any
NCP proving medical coverage.

But they want to ensure the NCP is healthy...  So he can keep on working...

That would be anybody who causes number one or two above.
