May need a lawyer... DVORCE NEVER ENDS

[Broncojohnny]

First...hate on the bureacrats that the VOTERS put into office. Don't hate the State of Texas. I am sure this is what you meant. If not...I20 runs both ways...I am sure you can find your way out.

Second...I am glad that fathers are forced to pay child support through payroll deduction. If not..there would be that many more people in the welfare system. It is HIS responsibility..not the tax payers. Do you even realize the amount of fathers that wouldn't pay child support if left up to the honor system? It is so bad now, that the state has to chase countless deadbeat dads who don't pay. Ask any father who is currently married and has kids and he will prob say "hell yeah I would pay child support..it's my kid" but when left to their own devices a lot would come up with excuses as to why not.

All of this is true. However, it would help the situation if men weren't raped in court every day for outrageous amounts of money in the name of child support. There are men out there who pay $800 a month for what is supposed to be half of what it costs to support a child. That is absurd by any measure and the children suffer for it because some men just say fuck it and move to another state or disappear.

If man ever finds a machine or a pill to replace the power of the vagina ..

We will indeed outlaw women and hunt them for the pelts ..

Every parent has the right to a paternity test before a dime is taken from them. Of course, you have to pay for it though.


However, a judge can trump a paternity test. If you have "raised a child as your own", even if it's not your biological kid, a judge can force you to pay support in the event of a divorce.

Just as you say, you can request a paternity test, but if the woman claims you raised the child as your own for any length, you are fucked.

I really think it doesn't matter if you 'raised the child', if you didn't father it, let the bitch go find the daddy to claim child support. As mentioned before, to many hoes getting knocked up just to get a check, many have no idea who the father is, they just claim and get paid.

One more reason to hate Texas...

Second, I think it's bullshit that the government makes you pay child support.

I think it is okay, but the only way is by having a paternity test. Then and only then should the state be able to step in and force child support.

time to go back to court! you got screwed the first go around with auto payments

[stevo]

The responsible thing to do is pay, but letting the gov force you to is just pushing women to get knocked up so they can get a monthly check.

You can't get a marriage license while owing back child support...

Since when?

If so, go to Vegas.

You can't get a marriage license while owing back child support...

Considering we have about $3,000 tied up in the wedding and honeymoon that is supposed to happen in 5 weeks..


This fucking sucks.

[Gargamel]

Wow. I bet the old one was a good woman at one time too! What happens when this one goes south? At least get your shit clipped so you cant have more kids!

The new one is already clipped... All Good...

Don't blame you at all. The bureaucrats almost seem like they do this shit intentionally.

Yea, Between this whole 2 year ordeal (which was technically over months ago), I don't know which was worse, the ex's incompetent lawyers or the bureaucratic system.... I handled it pro-se cause I had very little money, so I was exposed to a lot of the idiotic bullshit that her legal team tried....

[LANTIRN]

One more reason to hate Texas...and probably all states.

First off the state should not be licensing you to be married.

Second, I think it's bullshit that the government makes you pay child support. I have no kids, but in my opinion that shit should be between the man and woman who he knocked up. The responsible thing to do is pay, but letting the gov force you to is just pushing women to get knocked up so they can get a monthly check. Just another form of welfare, really. Any guy that does not take care of his kids is a POS but that is between him and any god he worships. Also, if you have a CHL in Texas by now it is revoked I am sure, and I think you also can not buy any guns right now so there are a few more ways you are getting potentially fucked.

My only advice is get a lawyer. The State of Texas has as much red tape as California; don't let anyone fool you. Get a lawyer.

And on the second marriage......there ARE decent women out there who will not fuck you over, divorced or not. They may be few, but I have known several. They are there. Good luck. Wish I had better advice but with no child-support experience that is all I can offer.

DFWM Group buy on vasectomies? Can you give us a hook up, Doctor? You know you'd love to be up close and personal with my meat anyway!

Hehe, my bad....

Should have said: AFTER it went final....

I'm a little flustered at a 600 dollar clerical error.... LOL

[davbrucas]

The old one has been final for a while....

That bullshit stretched out for 2 years and I've moved on.

Smurfette has been here to help me through the extreme bullshit of my Ex and her lawyers and she is a good woman.... if that makes me an idiot so be it... anyway....

Any help or constructive thoughts on the issue at hand would be appreciated....
