I am writing this because I have been around enough people and had family members deal with this, in my opinion, ridiculous system. I understand that it is tough for people to raise kids by themselves and that broken homes happen all the time or a parent becomes a dead beat. But let's face it the child support system is broken and it needs to be reevaluated and restructured.
The system requires that if child support is not paid in a meaningful amount or amount of time they take the dead beat's driver license away. To me that is the most stupid thing you can do. The system does not ask if the dead beat can not drive to work how are they going to keep a job to pay the child support. If that does not get the dead beat to pay up then they will send you to jail, that too in my opinion is pointless and stupid. If you send someone to jail for non-payment of child support then if you put them in jail they can not work and they lose their job and then it costs us the taxpayers because that person is in jail. Most of the time the system does the only smart thing in my opinion is they take it out of the dead beat's check, now yes I agree it effects their cost of living but if they can donate sperm or an egg then the way they live should be effected.
But the system is not going to reorganize itself and try to be fixed. The system due to over populations in jails have let many slip through the cracks, which to me as a taxpayer sees this as a good thing. People who do more violent and senseless crimes need to be in jail and prison.
