STOP THE INTEREST on Arrears Child Support in California
It is time to stop the interest that is being collected by the Dept. of Child Support Services. With the interest it is impossible to ever get caught up and pay in full. They didn't give us a loan why are we paying interest? Sign my petition one step closer to reforming the current rules and regulations set up by the Dept. of Child Support Services.
Why is this important?
I pay Child support for my son. His Dad won sole physical custody by a fluke in the justice system. I don't mind paying support it is my responsibility. I mind paying interest to the State of California. I sent in a $1000 payment and my balance due did not change. Most of that was applied to the interest. I did not borrow money from the state, why do I pay interest to them. I inquired who was getting the interest and was told it goes to the custodial parent. Because my son's father refuses to speak to me I asked him if he received a check for $1000 and would not say. If the money goes straight to the custodial parent why didn't they forward the $1000 to my son's father. Now they want to take my driver's license because I am in the arrears by $1000. If they do , I won't be able to work and my son father won't receive a penny. My son will be the one who loses.
