Subject: PLEASE HEAR OUR PLEA
Message:
September 16, 2000
Dear Government, Child Support Enforcement and Newspaper Editors:
We the people of the United States of America would like for you to listen to
our plea for our children, who have no face or voice in this disgraceful
issue on Child Support.
So we will be the FACE that you see
Fairness Awareness Change Enforcement
We will be the VOICE that you hear
Victory Of Innocent Children Everywhere
FOR OUR CHILDREN AND ALL CHILDREN WHO ARE FORCED TO LIVE IN POVERTY BECAUSE
OF A DEADBEAT PARENT
OK, so for what ever reasons the couple breaks up and they go to court for
child support. I am not talking about visitation here, that is completely
different from the child support issue. The Judge or the child support
office decides how much the noncustodial parent can pay. A court ordered
child support is then made up.
Next you give the following guidelines that you go by in order to figure out
when you should take ACTION against the noncustodial parents for NOT paying
the court ordered child support, for their child (ren). And I do so quote
from all the laws that I have read on child support.
FEDERAL PROSECUTION
"If all civil remedies have failed to produce results in the collection of
child support payments, the (which ever STATE) Division of Child Support
Enforcement may choose to refer the case to the United States Attorney's
office. The United States Attorney's office is responsible for prosecuting
cases unde the Federal Child Support Recovery Act of 1992 and the Deadbeat
Parent's Punishment Act of 1998."
"Both Acts allow a case to be prosecuted at a federal level if the case meets
certain criteria. The criteria is as follows:"
Take a look at the Child Support Guidelines you go by:
1. Past due child support must be $5,000.00 or greater
2. The children must be under the age of majority
3. All civil remedies have been exhausted
4. One of the parties resides outside the State
5. No payments have been received for the past 12 consecutive months
(a payment is considered any amount)
6. There is evidence that the noncustodial parent had the ability to pay and
willfully failed to do so.
7. There is proof that the noncustodial parent had knowledge of the child
support obligation.
"If the case meets all of the criteria, The Division of Child Support
Enforcement may elect to refer the case for federal prosecution. Upon
receipt of the referral, the United States Attorney's office will review the
case and determine if the case is suitable for investigation and ultimately
prosecution."
Well, just let me say, if I were a noncustodial parent I certainly would go
for that deal you are offering them. What you are saying is that the Court
Ordered Child Support Order is as worthless as a 3 dollar bill! It isn't
worth the paper it is written on.
Why go through all of this "RED" tape? Why make up any laws at all because
you are clearly sending them the message that it is OK for you to NOT pay
your support. We will give you until you are $5,000.00 behind, and you can
pay ONE month out of 12 months, you will have a chace to run to another state
and hide because we cannot do anything until all of this criteria is met!
What kind of JUSTICE is this for the children.
Since you make up the laws and criteria that you go by then you MUST know how
many children are owed money. Oh you do not know. You do not know that all
your laws that are NOT enforced anyway is hurting the children of America?
30 MILLION CHILDREN ARE OWED $50 BILLION DOLLARS
Do you, any of you even know or want to know WHY?
Because no one is LISTENING or DOING anything about this.
I am ashamed to say that I live in America. You say well it is not as easy
as all that. Well, yes it is. If our children were TAXES that you could
collect you sure would do something then. And I do speak under my First
Amendment Rights under the Constitution of the Untied States of America.
When is someone going to STOP feeling sorry for the noncustodial parent and
start looking at what you are putting the custodial parents and the children
through? When? And I ask again. When?
You make it hard for the children to spend quality time with the one person
that truly LOVES them and that is the custodial parent. They have the full
financial burden dropped on them because you make up the criteria that ALLOWS
the "DEADBEAT" to get away with nonpayment of child support.
Would any of you be able to raise your children not only on your own, BUT
with no help financially? Would you want to wait years upon years because of
some criteria someone made up? Would you want to be made to work long hours
and two jobs to even make it to get the basic things for your children? BECAU
SE OF WHAT, CRITERIA?
Women did not have these children on their own, it takes two. And it should
take two to support them. Why must the burden all fall on the custodial
parents? What kind of laws are these where a person has been waiting 10
years and is owed $80,000.00 dollars? What happened to the CRITERIA?
Why isn't the criteria being followed in a lot of these cases?
We would like to know the answer to that one...
Sincerely,
Linda DeMarco
