    It would be much, much easier to laugh at these idiots if they weren’t actually hurting their child(ren) and mother. All this makes me do is wonder why there aren’t much swifter repercussions for scumbags who dodge child support payments.

    TEN MONTHS? And they’re sending yet another warning letter? Are you kidding me?

    Put this shithead in prison. Let him out on work release every day so he can do his full-time shift at Waffle House. Then back to prison. That will be his life until the last kid turns eighteen AND any remaining debt is paid off.

      People should pay their child support.

      People shouldn’t dehumanize other people. Read what you wrote. Would you want to live that life? You’re closer to financial ruin than you think if you live in America.

      This is a mentally ill desperate individual. We should feel bad for everyone involved in their story.

        If there’s a more humane but equally effective solution, I prefer that! I feel sorry for everyone here, but especially the child(ren), who didn’t do anything wrong. My harsh response is the result of frustration with the current system.

        I mean the mother chose to sleep with him, and he chose to have a child. I feel bad for the kid, but everyone else here was fucked from the moment their neurons started firing

    I sent them monopoly money, and even though they didn’t send it back, they still say I owe child support. Anyone have luck getting the STATE to support their CHILD?

    So another dirtbag procreated but likely shouldn’t have. On the plus side, the child is not going to have to be around their deadbeat parent after they get arrested for failing to pay child support.

    I know a sure fire way of getting the support discharged and not getting charged with contempt… pay your child support on time and in full until the day the child turns 18. That will accomplish both of those goals.
