Make Dead Beat Parents Pay For Their Children

The goal of this petition is to bring dead beat parents current on child support/medical/dental payments. Make parents responsible for the children they chose to have. Restrict the time to 6 months in arrears before the Family Court System enforces their own Court Orders without placing undue financial burden upon the custodial parents to file against the offending parent. The American Taxpayer should no longer have to fill the gaps left by dead beat parents who refuse to pay repeatedly.

Why is this important?

The Family Court System and The Child Support Bureaus allow parents to get too far behind on their payments. Six (6) months is a reasonable amount of time to allow for financial emergencies to be rectified. The current system allows too much time to elapse which allows the offending parent to get thousands and thousands of dollars in arrears on both child support AND medical/dental bills. The current system puts an undue financial burden upon the custodial parent to pay $150.00 to file against the offending parent to bring the case back to court. The Family Court System should be the ones to enforce a their own Court Order. The violating parent is in CONTEMPT OF A COURT ORDER. Give 1 week for the arrears to be satisfied at the amount of 1/4 total monies due to the custodial parent or be immediately incarcerated. The Family Court System should then set up a payment program to keep the offending party remain current , as well as additional payments to satisfy the arrears. Make the offending party work not only for their cost of being incarcerated but satisfy their debt to their children. The American taxpayer now must fill these gaps with other government programs and that places an undue burden on the taxpayers to cover food stamps and medical care for these children. We deserve relief from dead beat parents who make children and don't pay their fair share.
My daughter is a dead beat parent. She has three "new children" and scoffs at a past court order to pay for her oldest 3 children. I do this for my oldest three grandchildren and all the other children who do without because of a system that doesn't work! Thank you for any and all support you can give. Together, we can change an unjust system and bring back personal responsibility to parenthood in the United States of America.
