Non-custodial parent over $10,000 in arrears due partially to local and state government, in my opinion.

It seems child support guidelines are written to protect the non-custodial parent; protecting them while ignoring the welfare of the child.

In an effort to collect back child support, the system has allowed thousands to accrue and have collected very little. Our State government sees fit to pay a local child support office staff while results seem to be very miniscule. The non-custodial parent was a little over $3,000 in arrears at the time this was turned over to child support; now, 13 months later, the arrearage is well over $10,000. The Commonwealth's Attorney office actually inquired as to why I let it get so far behind before seeking restitution? I directed them to our local child support office. Odd, I've yet to hear from either of them.

On June 27, I wrote the Office of the Attorney General in an effort to collect interest on the arrearage (KRS360.030 and KRS405.467) and followed up receipt on July 2. They don't care if you live on credit cards to get by, they're not paying the interest; yet, they have not allowed interest to be posted to the arrearage, even tho state statutes allow it. In July requested interest and the Commonwealth office sent me to the local child support office and child support office directed me to the Commonwealth's office. Geesh! Again odd, I've not received a response from that office either.

This case was turned over to the local child support office in September of 2001; however, they never bothered to file with State government for his tax returns. This was not filed until July 10th, 2002. Why the delay?

While the non-custodial parent may be in arrearage, our local and state government doesn't seem to mind. So much for a speedy process! Our social system has created an environment of "throw-away" children. Seems, it is actually encouraged!

As long as the custodial parent is not on any type of social program or State aid, my children are not of much importance to them. I say "my" because the non-custodial parent neither calls nor visits even tho the children would welcome it and I think a relationship with the non-custodial is important; or, will be in years to come when they're dealing with their emotions on how they feel about him.

As the custodial parent, it is my responsibility to raise these children to be socially and morally accountable. Afterall, they are the future! I'll keep going thru the paperchase with local and state government. The time off from work chasing paper and going to motions and hearings are exhausting; but, necessary.

I'm very fortunate in having good, morally responsible children. Its not been an easy task; but I'm proud of them and their accomplishments.

If I hadn't cared, who would have? Hearings and motions do not feed, clothe, provide medical care, house and educate a child.

The Othe Side of the Kenneth Norman Story

AUTHOR: M.C. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, April 10, 2004

Mr.Norman worked very hard to stay current with his child support,even after he lost a well-paying job.He wanted to spend as much time with his two children as possible,however,this was often very difficult due to their mother scheduling various activities and vacations during the father's visitation.Mr. Norman did not want to interfere with plans the mother had made for the children,even when this would impede his time spent with the children.Often,the children would go for weeks without seeing their father because sleep-overs or ballgames were planned for the children.He would not force the children to miss their activities or be away from their friends in order to visit him.

Mr.Norman had a verbal agreement that he would continue to pay as much as possible toward the child support,while not asking the court for a reduction in the support,as long as the mother would not seek legal action for the arrearage.Mr.Norman had found employment,but at almost half of what he had made in his previous job.In the summer of 2001,Mr.Norman was injured and not able to work for 9 months,and still tried to pay a portion of his support.

The children's mother speaks of having to use credit cards to get by on.It makes one wonder why she could not provide for two children on a $45,000 salary without using credit.Many families do it.But they may not take the vacations to Las Vegas and San Francisco,to name a few,that these children have taken,nor do they get everything on their Christmas list.

As far as emotionally and morally stable children,one has to wonder.Shoplifting,under-age drinking and drugging,all acceptable by the mother,are part of the children's lives.One of the children has already wrecked two cars and lost driving priviliges before the age of 18.But then,their fathe was not allowed any input into their moral upbringing.

Nr.Norman has been current on his child support for the last year and a half,is also paying to the arrearage.
