Deadbeat Dad or Deadbeat System?
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
Only 41% of families receive their alloted Child Support payments. Too many times, hard-working custodial parents and their families are disenfranchised because the “system” works better for those trying to avoid their responsibilities than it does for those who are working to better the lives of our Nation's children, our future leaders. Is this because current policies have too many loop holes; lack of knowledge and/ or accountability of the agency or is it because of the massive numbers of evaders to pursue in a system where those evading have more options than you do to pursue? Regardless of the answer to that question, the greater issue is that there has not been a response nationally to deal with this growing problem. Meanwhile, those who are hard-working, tax-paying, upstanding, meaningful contributors to society are left to struggle to create an environment for their children, that will result in success in education and socio-economic stability. If you or someone you know is not receiving the proper support from your Child Support Enforcement Agency or you would just like to voice your opinion to support hard working families and their children and to support good use of your tax dollars, please sign this petition today! Let’s request a National overhaul of the child support system! Sign this petition so that the voices of the many children of parents who are “making-do” can be heard! Let them know that we are not satisfied with “making- do” and we want you to “Make it Happen NOW!”
Why is this important?
At first glance you may be telling yourself that “This issue doesn’t apply to me.” However it affects ALL tax paying citizens! There are billions of dollars of uncollected child support owed in this country and those costs are passed on to you, the tax payer. For example, if a parent who is not receiving child support is forced to get State assistance YOU are paying for that. You as a tax payer are in essence paying that person’s child support! This is a very important issue that has yet to gain national focus. We routinely hear about making sure our children get a good education, good health care and safe schools (which all SHOULD be at the very top of the list) however somewhere on that list we need to also have a conversation about making sure these children receive the financial support that they need and are entitled to which gives them the much needed stability at home before they even get to school. So this is not an issue for parents, grandparents or guardians that are providing for these children, it’s an issue for all Americans!
“National alarm bells should be ringing over the shocking fact that ONLY 41 percent of custodial parents receive their full allotment of child support”. (According to America’s Child Support Scandal at http://blogs.lawyers.com) YOU/WE are paying for the rest!
This petition is to demand that State and Federal Child Support Enforcement Agencies be required to uphold and enforce their own policies and procedures. Even if you still feel that you are not directly affected by this issue I am sure that you have a friend or family member who is. Lets close the loop-holes for the evaders of child support AND close our pockets!
