Enforce Your Fathers Rights and Eliminate Back Child Support!

By Al Bright


Fathers rights in the United States has experienced some dark times, especially during the last twenty to thirty years. 'How so?', you ask. Well, first of all the American Bar Association admitted in the mid 90's that more than 100 million Americans could not afford to hire an attorney for anything. What kind of help do you think a young non-custodial father is likely to get for legal issues involving child support arrears?

At this point, you may be asking "does this article claim a bias towards divorced moms?" And if so, why? Those are both good questions. Yes, this article, while it is committedly biased toward common sense driven child support, is primarily composed from the perspective of non-custodial fathers, and no apology is made. After all the subject is, "fathers rights", and more than 90% of those individuals who receive court ordered child support are women.

The socio-economic-political planners in the USA society, realized that the country was facing economic difficulties decades ago, and subsequently, so-called entitlements came under some pretty threatening fire. The typical welfare recipient received a new lease on life when enterprising young politicians began to blame non custodial fathers for the out of control welfare situation. Disaster was averted when the child support issue was legislated into high gear much to the delight of the female constituents every where and to the virtual destruction of fathers rights.

These planners and politicians discovered they could gain political prominence with the creation of this new bad guy. The public was allowed to vent, the federal propaganda drums were beaten wildly and the Deadbeat Dads became the new target of these old welfare system frustrations.

What this solution wrought was tantamount to a nightmare. Good men, fathers, were hunted like criminals by bureaucrats trying to please their newly created class of women constituents. These men had their pictures put on milk cartons and pizza boxes, were fired from their jobs, had their wages garnished, and driver's licenses suspended. This newly created lower class were referred to as Deadbeat Dads!

The kind of unwitting, yet vicious, mob hysteria that was unleashed sent good men (many veterans-thanks to your fine service to our country, friend), good men with no real choice and impossible obligations were forced into a desperate underclass, others into hiding as societal outcasts. Still others essentially became unnecessary but petty outlaws while others literally fled the country and went into permanent exile.

Arrears began to pile up. 16 million non-custodial fathers are rounded up like a neighborhood of stray dogs for delinquent child support. In California alone, arrears total an estimated $14 billion in 2007. Annually, nationwide, approximately $10 billion is left uncollected. The majority of this underclass, so generously created, would much prefer to pay and get caught up. When you are villainized, and you are unable to get the legal assistance and social help required when you are trampled by the help required to right the many wrongs emanating from this draconian socio-politico system imposed on these non-custodial fathers and their children. For this great American resource, Fathers rights is dead!

Fast forward a few years,. The country's economics are a disaster. Foreclosure fraud is epidemic - there are millions without homes. Unemployment is running as high as 23% when using adjusted numbers that actually represent reality. The dollar is collapsing. Mortgage loans are dead.

Is there any good news? Yes! Thanks to non-custodial fathers who fought in the Courts, fathers rights groups, and some highly informative books, Dads are winning battles in the family law Courts that were never imagined a few years ago. They are winning in all areas such as child custody, visitation rights, and child support along with other important battles. When fathers choose to get involved and insist on their fathers rights, they are winning in close to half of the cases.

The really big news is that there are now at least ten legal bases for reducing and/or eliminating child support arrears, and all it typically requires is some negotiating and specialized information. Once you have the detailed information you need, you may be able to proceed yourself without an attorney due to the simple nature of these steps. This powerful information is allowing some Dads to collect from their ex. Get the monkey off your back, eliminate your arrears as quickly as possible. Remember, Dads are winning.
