The current child support system can be a nightmare for noncustodial parents, particularly during the recession. Hard-luck parents are often saddled with inflated and erroneous child support obligations and arrearages, and face heavy-handed enforcement action when they’re unable to comply. Sometimes abuses within the child support system make it very difficult for noncustodial parents to function as fathers and mothers to the children who love them and need them.
We're seeking to add an addendum to the current law that would create a "Loss of Wage" section for child support parents to apply for a freeze of their support order in case of loss of employment or Natural Disaster. This would ensure mothers and fathers from going into debt and being incarcerated. Not all parents are DEADBEATS.
