Demanding a change in Child Support Laws IMMEDIATELY !

First off, let me say the Child Support laws are very inconsiderate of the father's out there who are actively in their children lives. It shouldn't be so easy to put someone on child support. A friend of mine has been in his child's life since he was born. His child was with him all the time besides the time he was away at college. He spent every weekend with his child plus time during the week where he picked him up from school, helped him with homework and made sure he ate dinner. My friend's stayed with him for months at a time while his mother partied and traveled. While the child lived with his mother his grades and behavior in school, in the neighborhood or at home period was terrible and she was not doing anything about it. She didn't' keep in contact with teachers or disciplining the child so he was off the chain.

My friend child's mother was offered a job in Dallas, TX and she moved out there while the child stayed with his father and his father girlfriend. They were teaching him life lessons and working with him to better his grades and his overall behavior. After a few months of living with them the child's behavior got better along with his grades. All of a sudden, she started calling all times of the night starting arguments saying she's coming to get the child. The child stayed with his father for about 2 years. The whole 2 years were drama filled.

The child's mother came and took the child from her parents house while the child was living with his father, and took him to Dallas, TX without letting his father know. When they landed in Dallas, she texted him " CJ's with me, just to let you know". She blocked his number and didn't let him speak to his son for month's until she needed help with buying the child a plane ticket to return for Christmas break. My friend filed for joint custody in the state where and his child was living about a week after she took him. To make a long story short, they threw out the case and told him he needed to file for custody in the state the child lives in now.

Back to her needing help with the plane ticket, she finally took him off call block after about two months and asked him if he could help buy the child a plane ticket to come home for the Holiday's. After he refused she threatened to put him on child support. I mentioned my friend filed for custody, after she was served, she filed for child support. She was denied in TX, but she then filed in the stated he lived in and they granted her child support taking most of his check leaving him with about $250.00 a month to pay these bills. He has rent of $855.00, car insurance $250.00, among other bills and two ther kids to support. The system is so messed up. I understand that some father's are "deadbeats" but he clearly isn't a "deadbeat" father. There needs to be a change now ! Something has to give. I'm a female, and I think the child support laws are bullshit (excuse my language). There should be more investigation to whether father's are really in their children lives because most of the women who put men on child support are just being hateful towards the father of their child and spending the child support money on themselves.
