Wonder why ex NFL players like Travis Henry go to jail for slinging dope? Because they have 15 kids and their child support is based off their NFL contract money which isn’t sustainable.


Awful situation and shows why the system is stupid. Guy knocks up a bunch of women. Can’t pay his bill so he resorts to sell cocaine. Gets caught, thrown in jail. So instead of being a productive member of society, paying his fair share of tax, he’s in jail doing nothing. Now taxpayers got to pay for his prison life. And when he gets out, he’s probably have a hard time getting a job, not contributing society. Probably needs gov assistance or lands back in prison. It’s like a triple whammy.

Let this be a warning to the youngsters out there. Make sure you procreate with people from good families. I can’t imagine a scenario where my husband would abandon his kids, but if he did, I would go to his parents and say, “Look what your son is doing.” They would lean on him until he did the right thing. My parents would do the same to me if the situation were reversed.
Unfortunately, that doesn't happen a lot. Some people are stupid when it comes to relationships.

Women get knocked up by a deadbeat and think we should feel sorry for them

I don't feel sorry for them. Unless they were raped, raising the child should be a shared responsibility.

should be but typically the kid(s) is used as a financial lever by the female to try and get more out of the dad, kids often withheld from dad who's trying to do the right thing, female knows that cops won't intervene in a "civil" matter, plays on the emotions of the dad, it can get pretty fricked up

She didn't "win it" fifty years after the divorce. She collected it fifty years after the divorce. The judgment for child support was entered years ago.

I agree with you. It's BS if they try to keep the child from their father. Some dad's do get fricked, that's for sure.

Well, when you get a chance, share them. I've heard bad on both sides of the spectrum.

There was a guy here who had a Texas judgment for child support against him (he had two daughters). The girls were in their 20's, and he received a huge bill from Texas (well over $200k). He thought that when the girls hit 18 all his past unpaid child support would wash away ... did get a big surprise.

Texas puts interest on the unpaid child support.

that's another major flaw in the system, the ruling is based on income at the time, and as you've experienced, when the income changes, for better or for worse, you're still on the hook for the figure, it takes forever to get back in front of the judge(and additional attorney fees to boot,) the judge is reluctant to adjust unless you can convince them that the change in income is permanent,


Truth. I don't know why they don't base it off payroll taxes which every employer is supposed to pay. Those are done per pay period. Have the support be a percent not an amount and it could fluctuate with income. They do need to stop using gross because that doesn't factor real world expenses. Treat it like a tax and allow "standard deductions" and then base it on your gross adjusted income.

This is spot on. Why they go off gross baffles me.

I'm sure if that's a current picture that 50 years ago she didn't look like that.
