I am a father of 2 girls.I was awarded custody of them in 1999. I was to recieve child support from there mother.There mother took me to court in 2002 for custody of the girls. I inturn countersued for back child support she was to pay me through Child Enforcement. The judge awarded me custody and dismissed the claim for back child support due to lack of proof. The back child support I feel is owed to me is in the sum of $10,000.00.
Since that time I have talked to Child Enforcement and have gotten different stories on how they can or can\'t help. I have asked them to let the governors office see my case. I have written letters to newspapers, and circulated letters over the internet. I have written letters to lawyers who are willing to help, but for fees which I cannot afford.
Now my daughters have decided to live with there mother. I have let them, and there mother had taken me back to court for custody. The judge ruled in her favor and orderd me to pay child support. I payed with no objection and then Child Enforcement stepped in and started garnishing my wages. They seem to have no problems assisting her in getting her support. Please sign my petition and let me get my justice which I believe I deserve along with every other father who is raising there child and not getting the help they need by the legal system.
The stories coming in from other fathers are heartbreaking and prove this system is failing us. Call your local representative today to demand fairness in child support enforcement. Post this link on Facebook so we keep the pressure on these agencies.

My husband has been dealing with this for years. He pays every cent on time but never saw a dime of the support he was owed. Totally unfair.

The double standard here is unreal. If a dad misses one payment they garnish his checks instantly but when the mother owes thousands they act like it never happened.

Exact same story with me. Child support office is useless unless they are taking money from your paycheck. The bias in family court is disgusting.

This whole system is rigged against dads. I went through the same thing with my ex. Its like they dont even look at the records when it favors the father.
