DADS HAVE TO PAY SO THE COURTS GET THEIR MONEY !?!

WHAT?

Does that sound crazy or what? Extremly sad but true.
The fathers are tapped for as much child support as possible because every dollar paid in child support brings in money to the courts. Dads don't get fair parenting time because.. more time with their children = less child support. Less child support collected by the courts system ("friend" ($) of the court) equals less federal dollars being handed to the courts. We can't have that. Don't worry about what the dad can afford. Max out the time for the kids with the mom and you can go right to the TOP of the "chart" and max out out dads child support. Carey Roberts said it better when he said.. "It's those incentives that have made the system so destructive to families." and better yet when he said.. "If fathers are awarded 50% custody of their children, they owe little or nothing in child support. If no child support dollars are channeling through the system, then the federal money dries up. This creates an inducement for states to keep children away from their fathers as much as possible." WOW. Read his excellent article here.. http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/roberts/070814 .

This is exactly what Carol Rhodes, former officer for the Friend of the Court, told us in her speech. She was often reminded by her superiors that "we are the friend of the court, not the friend of the family". She talks about how they were to maximize payment from the dad in order to generate revenue for the court. Her speech is here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOC58c-Ibdk . After leaving the corrupt Friend of the Court she wrote a book titled FRIEND OF THE COURT ENEMY OF THE FAMILY.

So how broken is a system that gets fed its dollars by hurting the children? By breaking the fathers? What a vicious cycle it creates. Everyone has heard at least some of the shocking statistics of how children that are victims of divorce suffer. How much more likely they are to have all types of troubles in their lives not suffered by children that have married parents. Also how much worse off the fatherless children fare in life, and, how much better off the children of divorced parents are if their father is active and present in their lives. The system takes the kids away from their dad for the money then crys when the kids without fathers do bad things.
Hmm.
Would 50/50 parenting time after a divorce help these troubled kids out? You bet! Make them better citizens, have a better shot at life? Yep! Would it help the dads out? Umm Hmm! Would they get to be a larger part of their childrens lives, have more time for learning/teaching/love ? Yes Sir! Would dads get to be "dads" and not just a child support payor?
What a concept.
