This company claims to help non-custodial fathers in America with child support issues, mainly settling them out of court. It claims that 95% of their cases are handled out of court. Once you pay them the $350.00 fee that is required you never hear from this organization again.

I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and it seems that they work for these people because I have not had any representative from the Bureau contact me regarding my complaint that I filed over 3 months ago.

In the meantime this company is getting rich off the backs of poor fathers who only want justice done in an unjust country and justice system!

Not all payments for child support are for actual back child support

AUTHOR: Jp - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, July 28, 2008

My son is looking into the group because he owes almost $30,000 to The DA Family Support Div. in CA, not for back child support but to pay back the county for monies his ex, then wife, received for their child from AFDC (welfare).

When they were separated, so he could find a job in another part of the state, she went on AFDC, unbeknownst to him. She and their child were living with her parents. The DA hunted him down, years later, to collect what she received, with HUGE interest. This was NOT the court-ordered child support he was ordered to pay when they divorced. None of us had any idea he would have to pay back what she got from AFDC. We thought we paid for welfare out of our taxes.

The DA garnishes his wages, most of which goes to interest, leaving him barely enough to live on. They have taken his driver's license twice, for no reason. We paid an attorney a lot to go to court and get it back the last time. He cannot get a passport which meant he had to turn down a very good job in the UK.

He also cannot pay his ex anything a month because it won't go towards what the DA claims he owes, but they send her only a small amount. She moved out of state and he hasn't seen his kids (they had another child just before she filed for divorce) in 8 years. She got remarried and moved back to CA just recently so he hopes to be able to build a relationship with his kids.

If it hadn't been for the DAFSD, he would have been able to support his kids. If this group can help him it will be a God-send to all of them.

My experience with NC Fathers of America

AUTHOR: Mike - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, May 26, 2008

I used NC Fathers of America in Los Angeles, CA for my case in Brazos County Texas and wanted to share my thoughts on the organization. Here are the positives and negatives I experienced. Positives: I paid $450 and believe that the amount paid for the time and work put in my case was really cheap. They got the Attorney General to reduce the payments on the back support from $600/month to $300/month, they got an audit of my account, and reduced my interest charges.

I did not need to appear in court for any of this to occur. Negatives: I had a representative working on my case who had a bad asian accent. I could not understand everything he was saying, so I kept having to have him repeat what he was saying. It was really frustrating. I resolved this by sending an email to their supervisor to change the rep. The following representative was actually a female, who I believe got all the work done. If I had not requested that they change the rep. I dont think I would have gotten the same results. If you use their service, avoid the guy with the terrible asian accent. If you end up with him, ask to have him transferred.

Non Custodial Fathers of America the best help for dads

AUTHOR: Barry Benton - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, August 30, 2007

A while back, I read the bad report from Kevin and as a result, decided not use Non Custodial Fathers of America. Instead, I paid an attorney about $3,000. He did absolutely nothing but appear in court with me in NJ and failed. So, I contacted Non Custodial Fathers of America a 2nd time. In my case, NJ refused to acknowledge the original order from VA and continued to collect support 4 1/2 years longer than they should have. Even the judge in NJ did not know the law and made an incorrect judgment. Non Custodial Fathers of America resolved this issue without a court hearing. They contacted VA and NJ child support offices, spoke with the head of the state attorney office in NJ and got them to finally realize the huge mistake that they had made in my case. Because of the hard work and persistence from the Non Custodial Fathers of America, the NJ CSE reduced my balance from $48,000 to $6,500, which what I really owed all this time. All this was accomplished for only $450 to Non Custodial Fathers of America. I wish I would have never read the email from Kevin, because it cost me $3,000 to a bad attorney, when all along I should have gone with Fathers of America. Now after all these years, I have a small amount of self respect again. So, I took the time to come back to this site, to advise everyone else who visits this site that Non Custodial Fathers of America are legitimate, they respond to all their emails and phone calls promptly, and truly go the extra mile to resolve cases that even attorneys may not be able to do.

A Response from the one who supported the child without the absentee father

AUTHOR: Gina - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 08, 2007

As the ex-wife, I can tell this company does indeed do its job. They called to ask me what I was willing to accept lump sum on the huge amount the father owed me in back child support and arrears. They did not take sides or seem personally invested in placing blame. I told them the bottom figure I would take and that that was a gift. He still tried to talk it down and I stood firm. The deal still cost me $12,000 in what should have helped raised my daughter. I was one of the lucky ones who found a man who married me and took on the responsibility of children not his own. He would have adopted but the child still had hope the dirtbag would want to be her father. When she was 3, I foolishly let him convince me to wake her up at 10pm since "it was cheaper" for him to call from his night job. When he told her to let my husband adopt her so mommy wouldnt send him to jail, I cut off the call. All his other calls were to see if he could get me back into bed. We divorced when he informed me he had too much charm and good looks to waste on just one woman but he would stay if I let him fool around. I was the bad guy for going back to my family in California from his family home in Virginia snd taking the kids with me.

Sorry if you feel the company doesnt wipe out your debt or get you off scotfree free from years of non-support. They put in the hours and make the calls, draw up the contracts, contact the DA's office and get you off for less than you owe. If your ex doesnt want to play ball, that isnt their fault.

I do have a brother on the other side of the fnce who is paying out the nose to support his kids to a dirtbag ex-wife but even tho its unfair, he pays it. My 70-year-old parents help support him but he pays it. The bottom line is: support your kids.

We used Non Custodial Fathers also

AUTHOR: Ariella - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 14, 2006

My husband used the service of Non custodial fathers of america. Though we have 3 kids together and he works 60 hours a week, he could not afford to pay $750 for his 1 daughter in NM and his past due balance had gone up to $30,000.

Non custodial fathers of america, got the state to reduce the $750 to a manageable $470/month, they obtained a release of his license and after speaking with the mother, they got her to agree to a lump sum settlement of $15,000. We got a loan and paid her the $15,000. All this for only $450!

Ever since they reduce the rate, my husband has not fallen behind in any payments and now sees his daughter regularly.

Dear Kevin,

I used Non Custodial Fathers of America. As a matter of fact I paid them $450 not $350 that you claim you paid. Prior to paying them any money, I had a free consult with 1 of their reps, who told me what they could and could not do. I paid the money and filled out their forms. AFTER ONLY 3 weeks, THEY ACCOMPLISHED what 3 different attorneys couldn't do in the last 20 years.

Because of THEIR actions, NY CSU stopped taking out the extra $400/month garnishment and the TX Attorney General's office reduced their garnishment from $800/month to $450/month. Now I can SUPPORT MY CHILD AND pay for my living expenses. I was ready to quit my job and get a cash job, but instead I found NC fathers of america organization and have a more normal life and pay the support my child needs.

Wake Up

AUTHOR: Sandy - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 07, 2006

Angel in Adamsville, TN - I completely agree with you, the system needs to change about the custodial parent keeping the child away (refusing visitation rights) from the non-custodial parent. If you are required to pay child support and required to have visitation, then the law needs to be set. If you stop visitation without cause, the non-custodial parent should be able to pick up the phone and call an enforcement bureau to hold them accountable just as much as your be held accountable for not paying child support. The child needs both parents, not just one!

As for Robert in Jacksonville, FL - You sound very angry but reality wise, I really don't think know you what really goes on in this world. I urge you to sit in a court room and see what goes on in a divorce case, see some of the parents pull and tear at the kids. There is so much anger but not once are they really looking at what is in their child's best interest. Why do we have so many problems with our children? Think about it.

You also have parents WHO abuse the system, meaning.the court orders visitation and child support. Once everything is said and done, the parent who has custody use that child as a pond, gets upset at the non-custodial parent for some stupid reason and stops the father or mother from seeing their own child. So what happens, child support stops because the father or the mother needs to hire their lawyer again (lawyers are not cheap) to go to court, but in all honesty, the court system could care less about visitation but then again if you got money to support the lawyers then fight all you want but all it does is tear your own children up. There have been cases with no cause, the parent who has custody STOPS visitation but the non-custodial parent has no money to fight to see his or her own child, so what happens again, Child Support Stops.

The system needs to be fair about this issue. Money shouldn't be everything and yes I believe there are Judges that make the non-custodial parent pay more in child support because the mother or father refuses to work. Oh, and if you go pro se, you better know the law because if the other party has a lawyer, the non-custodial parent gets eaten alive. More people need to stand up to the plate and change the system, make both parties accountable. I also believe that the custodial parent, who has refused the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent without cause, should pay because the child has no clue who the other parent.

As for Fathers of America, I'm not sure what took place in Kevin's area but I know a few people who have used them and they had no complaints against them.

Sure Angel...

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 03, 2006

Here are some excerpts from the "testimonials" of their satisfied clients. Please feel free to let me know what you think the problem is as I see it.

"...they accepted our offer to settle for $4,000 out of the $20,870 that I owed them..."

"...the work you did to reduce my child support was a BARGAIN..."

"...It has reduced the child support arrears from some $47,000 to about $19,000..."

"You're my lifesavers. I was so afraid that the Texas Attorney General was going to send me to jail because of the back child support when I received that Motion for Enforcement from the Lubbock County AG's office. But, your office not only got them to agree to drop the charges, but also got the assistant attorney general to agree to a reduction on the current child support. I'll never forget my ex-wife's face when the judge agreed to modify the child support instead of sending me to jail! I owe this to you people. I know I made mistakes in the past, but I'm all cleaned up and sober now and promise to keep up with my end of the bargain and send those payments. Thanks for helping me get another chance with this."

"...child support was reduced from $649 a month for Jessica to $325 a month and the payments on the back child support were reduced from $400 a month to $150 a month..."

"Thanks to your organization, my ex-wife agreed to close her portion of the back child support and I received a notice from the San Bernardino Child Support Services that they have accepted my offer for $7,000 to settle for the remaining $20,000 welfare balance. I'm getting a loan and paying this off soon. I'm really tired of dealing with them taking all of my tax refunds and taking any money I put in the bank."

"I wanted to let you know that last week, the NY SCU released my drivers license with no lump sum all because of your help. I will do as you told me and keep making my monthly payments on time. Because of me being without a license and unable to work, my ex and son have been hurting from all of this too."

"I can't believe that the Florida Department of Revenue - Child Support Enforcement has agreed to release the warrant and my real estate license and the Texas Attorney General Office will be closing their case against me! The Child Support Enforcement people just did not understand that without my license I cannot work and without a job, I cant pay any child support."

I think you can guess the basic jist of what these people are all about. If not, I'll help you.

Every one of their clients wanted to have their child support payments reduced, or eliminated. The ones who claimed they had to have their licenses to work so they can pay really burn me. If they had any intention of paying their support for their children, they wouldn't be in jail, going to jail, or have their licenses suspended to begin with. Not one of these Jabronis gives a rats a*s about their proginy. They only care about the money taken from their beer and cigarette fund.

Child support is just what it says. It is money to be used for the support of the child. Any person who won't(I don't know the meaning of the word "can't") pay their support should go to jail. Hard time. When they get tired of breaking rocks, let them try the program again. These are not my children. Why should I pay for them? The only people I have ever seen complain about the support payments they make are the ones paying, or the spouses of the ones paying.

Which are you Angel?

Paid their child support religously and the other parent keeps the child away from the NCP? I am so sick of hearing about dead beat parents .........anyone ever think the parent may not have or can make the money they are ordered to pay? Ever think about crooked judges and petty exs? I mean come on there are crooked people every where why is it so hard to believe that ONLY the non- custodial parent is the only ones that can be crooked etc... in this situation... open your mind man.

NON-CUSTODIAL FATHERS OF AMERICA ..don't give away your hard earned money to a company of SHISTERS & SWINDLERS!

AUTHOR: Kevin - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 12, 2006

Once this company receives the funds requested it will attempt to have you do all the work for them by gathering all your information from the courts that they can't get even though they have you sign a power of attorney form, the funny thing is that they are not even real attorneys and have no authority or power with the court system. They insinuate that they can handle your case and alleve the stress of child support anxiety from your life, but in actuality they increase your stress and anxiety because not only do you have to stress about the child support system jerking you, but now you have to stress about an irreputable service such as theirs gouging you from the other end! This company is a disgrace and should be ran out of business as soon as possible, I implore all fathers having difficulty with Child support issues not to even consider NON-CUSTODIAL FATHERS OF AMERICA (info@childsupporthelp.org) to handle your case, because they can't and they won't, invest in a real attorney when you are able don't give away your hard earned money to a company of SHISTERS & SWINDLERS!
