That is so heartbreaking to hear! I am so sorry that you're going through this, but I appreciate you sharing. I don't know what state you're in, but in Texas you can't enforce by jail if the person is unable to pay. Inability to pay is an affirmative defense to prosecution.

This guy knows less than the turd I just dropped. Title 4D is classified as a Contract and your only obligated to do whatever you have agreed in the CONTRACT to do.
@sunnydlite-t8b go read title 4d, in the social security act of 1972.... it's not offspring support, it's not even law.... it's a fucking subsidies program. the magistrates make a profit, meaning they are not a courtroom, and they aren't judges... go do some research
Technically, failure to pay 1 month of child support is sufficient. However, I've never once seen an enforcement filed for just 1 month of missed payments. It usually comes about after multiple months of missed payments.
What court has authority to take you to jail when it's a voluntary service? Where the terms and services disclosed when the mom put the dad on support? Sounds like due process violation to me....
Well, the legislature has set out laws that allow the Judge to require people to comply with their orders. Due process just means the right to Notice of the complaint against you, and the right to be heard on that complaint. Child support isn't voluntary once a Court has entered an order for a parent to pay. At that point, it becomes compulsory.
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC Yeah I get you all we can do is find ways to earn more play the money game better and make better choices . Your response to questions are very professional . I’m trying to get there as well . I appreciate the response sir thank you .
Here in Brazil the mother can sue the father, on the behalf of her child, demanding the last 3 months of unpaid child support and the new unpaid debts since then. If the father doesn't pay all the money he should, or at least give the judge a (reasonable) justification for not doing so, he can get from 30 to 90 days of jail time. After 90 days he needs to be set free, but if his debts remain, the mother has the option to plead the judge the suspension of his driver license, as well as his passport, decree his bankrupcy and block his banking accounts.
So what if the child support money is being misused in terms of the parent, the one who has custody of the child, is spending that money on themselves rather than the child? is that illegal, too? Is there jail time for that as well? A fine?
Believe it or not, there is no law dictating how child support money must be spent. They can use the child support money to buy Gucci bags if they want.
@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC So with that being said, the "law" basically doesn't care about how the payment money is spent, as long as the system is paid, the "custodial" parent can get hair and nails done and go on shopping sprees at will and no one bats an eye but I thought it was in the best interest of the child that this system was concerned with, right? Just straight garbage
This is too common in the State of Iowa. As a former Corrections Officer I have seen a handful of people that were arrested and sentenced to 30 days for this. One guy I remember looked like a working man who lost his job and could not make the payments. I felt bad for him and hope he is alright. Inverse, there was a woman who kept bad mouthing her ex-husband and her children. She was more in a position that she would not pay (could not either). Needless to say, I did not feel bad for her too much.
Or you could just not have kids at all and do you lol 😂. Its surprising how many people chose to have multiple children they can't really afford to have and end up with no plan B when the relationship goes down the toilet. I've seen alot of unfortunate cases myself and it sucks. Tough world we live in today.
Women have ALL the say when it comes to a child. Not Men. A woman doesn't want a kid....ok abortion or adoption. Is they then forced to pay child support to the father who wanted the kid?..... nope. The system favors women. Period.
What happens if he had another child just to stop payments. Since he was born, he’s focused only on the new child. Can the judge lower those arrears if I take him to court?
You DO NOT need a lawyer, why? Lawyers ONLY allegiance is to the court, you're better off fighting this evil system yourself and question, if you're living with the mother and your children, how are you in the system paying?
It’s funny I’m reading the comments and a lot of men on here bashing the lawyer or saying send the mail back. I have not seen one man say let’s not have sex without a condom or wait until u find ur wife, etc. Just a bunch of men that did what they wanted and now don’t want to support the child. Now if a woman had a baby and just wanted to be evil then that’s a different story. How about men say something positive such as this happened to me so please protect urself and wear a condom or abstain or don’t even start 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️. Ladies close ya legs and buy ur own condoms. Don’t have sex or abstain. If they take it off then stop and leave. Always make sure u have money on u before meeting someone. Having a baby when ur not mentally ready is not a good feeling. I planned for my daughter so I was ready but I did not plan for my son I said stop and he kept going…rape. I love both of my kids but the mental anguish of having a child when u aren’t ready is not a good thing. Babies don’t equal money. Get out of that mind set. That being said there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing, both males and females. Be careful everyone!
Fantastic advice. It takes two to Tango, but sometimes it seems easier to play the Blame Game. Personal responsibility needs to make a comeback. I take time to explain to clients that children are not pawns and shouldn't be used to get money. In Texas, a parent can get custody and STILL end up paying child support, so it stops some people from fighting for custody simply to avoid paying.
@Deadbeat fathers are garbage seriously, get help. i know that growing up without a father hurts, but it doesnt have to torment you for the rest of your life. theres nothing you can find in bitterness and hate that is worthwhile. please consider it for your own sake.
I believe u mistakenly assume that marriage and planning for a child somehow protects men from this BS. Well I can tell u from personal experience that it does not.
Trust me, if parents simply paid their child support and I never had to fight another Enforcement case, then I would die happy. We don't take these cases because they make us a lot of money. In fact, I just finished an Enforcement case TODAY where I wasn't fully paid my fees, which left me working for 50+ hours without pay.
Don’t get mad, take responsibility for ur actions. Stay a virgin or protect yourself. Simple. And in my situation don’t rape anyone - when a female says no even if you are already in the act or lovemaking u better stop because after the no it becomes non consensual!

Correct. If a Fine is imposed, it goes to the Court. In all of my years though, I've never once seen a Judge impose a Fine on a parent because they would rather see that money go toward paying down the child support.
Child support is bs. Women csn choose to get to escape being a mother by getting abortions but men can't decide they don't want to be a father because they must pay child support
@@lisalust7725you’d only be signing over your parental rights in terms of visitation & custody, but still have to pay child support. It’s only f’ing yourself over. Look it up.
Well I have one thing to say about this. The legal system is a joke and if Im ever forced to oay child support for a child Im taking care of.....catch me if you can.
Is it possible to volunteer for jail before the first payment? Thus reducing the amount of unpaid support being brought to the court, then upon release state I have paid the full cost via jail? I mean... surely they cant just keep u in jail forever for unpaid support, can men just opt for a couple weeks in jail then come out debt free?
Well, that's not quite how it works. You can't sit out child support in jail like you can a Fine or penalty. When you get out of jail, you STILL owe that child support, as well as all of the child support that accrued during the months you were in jail.
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC I was told that I didn't make it in time to take the DNA Test I live in Memphis but they came in served me some documents that came from west Memphis Arkansas she had the baby in Memphis TN but Arkansas forged my signature and put my name down to be on child support so now I have to make monthly payments

@@zacharyherrington8829 I must be missing something. I didn't see anything on there that referencing how the child support is a lien obligated to a SSN and not the person.
My ex owes 20,000 and has not paid in 2 years, his arrears was much higher but I helped him and went to suspend the support to help him out because he said cut his hours to go to barber school. The agreement was once he find a full time job the payments will start again. Of course he went and quiet his job all the way and disappeared a week later. Didn’t hear from him on a few years but when did he came back bringing hell so I put him back on it and he he was forced to get a job and did it for 2 years but quit again and hasn’t paid now in 3 years but the system is not after him at all so I’m not sure of how true this is. He constantly files to have the support suspended, they just put him on a work program and for over this past year he just lied and says he can’t work because of covid lol but he is also now suing for 50/50 custody and tell them he his employed lol the system is for bums so if you are a good father and fell behind ok child support you will pay but if you are a bum and a dead beat you have nothing to worry about, at least in Pa.
My case is out of PA too, but the new judge put her foot down and told him he needs to get a job and sentenced him to work with a career counselor or pay the arrears by beginning of September of go to jail for 6 months and be on restrictive probation. 1st judge was a POS and offered to let him off with a dr’s note. But he put it on the record he owns a trucking company
My dad and mom are divorced and my dad won’t pay child support my mom is taking care of 3 dogs and 3 kids and my mom doesn’t. Want to take to jail idk why but my dad is rude to her
not very funny story ,the MI friend of the court collected child support from me for 7 yrs after they were supposed to stop as i had signed off parental rights and the child had been adopted ,not only did they take money right out of my check the entire time to the tune of $1100 a month ,when i lost my job because i couldnt afford rent and my car insurance lapsed my car got impounded leading over 2 yrs of struggling ,homelessness and 3 trips to jail for failure to pay child support i should not even be paying in the first place ,i eventually got much of my money back but i also bought my lawyer a new Jag in the process ,im not the only one ,i could tell horror stories all day about the way family courts and the friend of the court treat dads
Ah, the US Code for payment of nontax debt to the US Government. Child Support is neither a debt, or paid to the government. Also, I searched that code for any exceptions, and there is no reference to child support withholdings.
never accept their MAIL!!! Write return to sender drop it off at the post office. There’s no law in this country that says you have to accept mail and you don’t have to be served if you don’t want to be served send it back!!! They cannot default you if it is returned!
Whose mail are you refusing? The Court's? After you've been personally served, if you don't file an answer, then you're at risk of a default judgment. If you do file an answer, then you're required to provide an address for notice of future hearings. If you refuse to accept the mail that contains the notice of the hearing, and you don't show up, then you'll be stuck with whatever decision the Court makes about your case.

Well, the legislature has set out laws that allow the Judge to require people to comply with their orders. Due process just means the right to Notice of the complaint against you, and the right to be heard on that complaint.
Child support isn't voluntary once a Court has entered an order for a parent to pay. At that point, it becomes compulsory.
Moral obligation there is nothing moral about the government or the state besides extorting people who actually work
I get it. It sucks, but these laws were only put into place after enough parents left their kids and the other parent high and dry.

Yeah I get you all we can do is find ways to earn more play the money game better and make better choices . Your response to questions are very professional . I’m trying to get there as well . I appreciate the response sir thank you .
Here in Brazil the mother can sue the father, on the behalf of her child, demanding the last 3 months of unpaid child support and the new unpaid debts since then. If the father doesn't pay all the money he should, or at least give the judge a (reasonable) justification for not doing so, he can get from 30 to 90 days of jail time. After 90 days he needs to be set free, but if his debts remain, the mother has the option to plead the judge the suspension of his driver license, as well as his passport, decree his bankrupcy and block his banking accounts.
So what if the child support money is being misused in terms of the parent, the one who has custody of the child, is spending that money on themselves rather than the child? is that illegal, too? Is there jail time for that as well? A fine?
Believe it or not, there is no law dictating how child support money must be spent. They can use the child support money to buy Gucci bags if they want.
@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC So with that being said, the "law" basically doesn't care about how the payment money is spent, as long as the system is paid, the "custodial" parent can get hair and nails done and go on shopping sprees at will and no one bats an eye but I thought it was in the best interest of the child that this system was concerned with, right? Just straight garbage
I’m sorry,but child support, unfortunately is simply court assisted vengeance.
This is too common in the State of Iowa. As a former Corrections Officer I have seen a handful of people that were arrested and sentenced to 30 days for this.
One guy I remember looked like a working man who lost his job and could not make the payments. I felt bad for him and hope he is alright.
Inverse, there was a woman who kept bad mouthing her ex-husband and her children. She was more in a position that she would not pay (could not either). Needless to say, I did not feel bad for her too much.
Those are terrible circumstances! In Texas, there are defenses to prevent going to jail if the parent legitimately cannot pay.
Or you could just not have kids at all and do you lol 😂. Its surprising how many people chose to have multiple children they can't really afford to have and end up with no plan B when the relationship goes down the toilet. I've seen alot of unfortunate cases myself and it sucks. Tough world we live in today.
@@MmedicatedGoo Now - try explaining this to 99% of males who can't keep it in their pants. I don't think it's that simple.
I know alot of ppl in iowa that dont pay and they arent in jail.
Women have ALL the say when it comes to a child. Not Men.
A woman doesn't want a kid....ok abortion or adoption. Is they then forced to pay child support to the father who wanted the kid?..... nope.
The system favors women. Period.
What happens if he had another child just to stop payments. Since he was born, he’s focused only on the new child. Can the judge lower those arrears if I take him to court?
Matthew, in Texas, you can go to jail for not paying child support for a child that isn't yours.
What do you mean?
Yea if you signed the bc or adopted that child or if you was severed for a dna test for child support and dont respond
I'm on child support.. living with my kids and their mother and I'm still on child support any lawyer recommendations ?
You DO NOT need a lawyer, why? Lawyers ONLY allegiance is to the court, you're better off fighting this evil system yourself and question, if you're living with the mother and your children, how are you in the system paying?
It’s funny I’m reading the comments and a lot of men on here bashing the lawyer or saying send the mail back. I have not seen one man say let’s not have sex without a condom or wait until u find ur wife, etc. Just a bunch of men that did what they wanted and now don’t want to support the child. Now if a woman had a baby and just wanted to be evil then that’s a different story. How about men say something positive such as this happened to me so please protect urself and wear a condom or abstain or don’t even start 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.
Ladies close ya legs and buy ur own condoms. Don’t have sex or abstain. If they take it off then stop and leave. Always make sure u have money on u before meeting someone. Having a baby when ur not mentally ready is not a good feeling. I planned for my daughter so I was ready but I did not plan for my son I said stop and he kept going…rape. I love both of my kids but the mental anguish of having a child when u aren’t ready is not a good thing. Babies don’t equal money. Get out of that mind set.
That being said there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing, both males and females. Be careful everyone!
Fantastic advice. It takes two to Tango, but sometimes it seems easier to play the Blame Game. Personal responsibility needs to make a comeback.
I take time to explain to clients that children are not pawns and shouldn't be used to get money. In Texas, a parent can get custody and STILL end up paying child support, so it stops some people from fighting for custody simply to avoid paying.
@Deadbeat fathers are garbage seriously, get help.
i know that growing up without a father hurts, but it doesnt have to torment you for the rest of your life.
theres nothing you can find in bitterness and hate that is worthwhile. please consider it for your own sake.
Lol you're ignorant.
Why don't women choose better men to have babies with? It is literally THEIR decision to make a baby or not..
I believe u mistakenly assume that marriage and planning for a child somehow protects men from this BS. Well I can tell u from personal experience that it does not.
It's not that men can't support the child It's that women exploit the system
Appeal the case take it to higher court it gets reversed only admisinstative chikd support
And attorney play along for the benefit of making more money off destroying a family and a child
Trust me, if parents simply paid their child support and I never had to fight another Enforcement case, then I would die happy. We don't take these cases because they make us a lot of money.
In fact, I just finished an Enforcement case TODAY where I wasn't fully paid my fees, which left me working for 50+ hours without pay.
Yeah its a scam from both the courts and the attorneys. Fuck both of them. Don't have kids.
Don’t get mad, take responsibility for ur actions. Stay a virgin or protect yourself. Simple. And in my situation don’t rape anyone - when a female says no even if you are already in the act or lovemaking u better stop because after the no it becomes non consensual!

Who does the fine go to? The courts?
Correct. If a Fine is imposed, it goes to the Court. In all of my years though, I've never once seen a Judge impose a Fine on a parent because they would rather see that money go toward paying down the child support.
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLCThats because the money also goes toward the judges pension right?

Well I have one thing to say about this. The legal system is a joke and if Im ever forced to oay child support for a child Im taking care of.....catch me if you can.

Huh?
I’ll do the 6 years. In jail I get 3 meals a day, roof over my head. Don’t have to worry about bills. And it’s nice and cold.
That is so stupid I hate everyone in the government and law
Is it possible to volunteer for jail before the first payment? Thus reducing the amount of unpaid support being brought to the court, then upon release state I have paid the full cost via jail?
I mean... surely they cant just keep u in jail forever for unpaid support, can men just opt for a couple weeks in jail then come out debt free?
Well, that's not quite how it works. You can't sit out child support in jail like you can a Fine or penalty. When you get out of jail, you STILL owe that child support, as well as all of the child support that accrued during the months you were in jail.
Guess what, if your in jail, they are still not getting that child support ...... so dumb
That is true, but not to worry because those payments will still be owed once out of jail.
Damn you really don't want to get people to have kids anymore.😂😂
Women should not receive welfare. If you can’t pay for your own kid then go to jail just like the dad for not paying to support your own child.

Forged on what document?
@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC I was told that I didn't make it in time to take the DNA Test I live in Memphis but they came in served me some documents that came from west Memphis Arkansas she had the baby in Memphis TN but Arkansas forged my signature and put my name down to be on child support so now I have to make monthly payments

@@zacharyherrington8829 I must be missing something. I didn't see anything on there that referencing how the child support is a lien obligated to a SSN and not the person.
My ex owes 20,000 and has not paid in 2 years, his arrears was much higher but I helped him and went to suspend the support to help him out because he said cut his hours to go to barber school. The agreement was once he find a full time job the payments will start again. Of course he went and quiet his job all the way and disappeared a week later. Didn’t hear from him on a few years but when did he came back bringing hell so I put him back on it and he he was forced to get a job and did it for 2 years but quit again and hasn’t paid now in 3 years but the system is not after him at all so I’m not sure of how true this is. He constantly files to have the support suspended, they just put him on a work program and for over this past year he just lied and says he can’t work because of covid lol but he is also now suing for 50/50 custody and tell them he his employed lol the system is for bums so if you are a good father and fell behind ok child support you will pay but if you are a bum and a dead beat you have nothing to worry about, at least in Pa.
My case is out of PA too, but the new judge put her foot down and told him he needs to get a job and sentenced him to work with a career counselor or pay the arrears by beginning of September of go to jail for 6 months and be on restrictive probation. 1st judge was a POS and offered to let him off with a dr’s note. But he put it on the record he owns a trucking company
What happens if you lose your job and cannot pay? You screwed?
Im going on 30 years 🎉🎉🎉
"PREACH" !
but do you mean jail or prison?
Jail.
What if it's not my kid

Yes in Florida. Willful nonpayment of child support in Florida can land you 5 months and 29 days in jail for Contempt.

What if you die then who’s pay bucko?
That's another good question! If you die, then your child support obligation remains an obligation of your estate.

Whose mail are you refusing? The Court's? After you've been personally served, if you don't file an answer, then you're at risk of a default judgment.
If you do file an answer, then you're required to provide an address for notice of future hearings. If you refuse to accept the mail that contains the notice of the hearing, and you don't show up, then you'll be stuck with whatever decision the Court makes about your case.
