Question by spaarky2002: Am I the only person on earth that thinks child support laws are unfair?
Here’s my short story…a judge in Virginia ordered me to pay my ex $ 900 a month in “spousal support”, and $ 682 in child support…not a big deal right? wrong, at the time of the order I was living in another state, making a net pay of $ 1800 a month, you do the math..now lets add insult to injury, because federal laws allow only up to 50-70% of your net pay to be taken, (depending on your state), I was able to keep $ 300 of my bi-weekly pay. My rent was $ 500 a month, and you can do the math on the rest. I lived alone, and had no vehicle, because I couldnt afford the payment, cash to buy one, nor the money it took to insure and fuel one…Now this madness went on for over a year…after a year do the math, federal law only allowed them to take a portion of the $ 1582 from me, which means the balance unpaid goes directly to the arrears. Now, I owe her like $ 10,000 in back support! I send judge copies of paystubs, he sent the back, said to get a lawyer-there are NO free lawyers.. WHAT NOW?
