Most Deadbeat Parent Arrested After Being Nabbed In Philippines

[Bigdog]

lol I am Bob i agree ,but it is one topic that just irks me..both my kids are adults and actually living in my home,while they build thier own.. it all works out...

[nor cal mike]

but when was it desided that the father assumes all finacial responsability for the children

I don't believe that has ever been decided. I don't know about your state in particular, but most states decide child support on the parents ability to pay. Remember you are talking about a child having food,shelter and clothing. The fact that a husband and a wife can no longer live together should not mean the children should suffer financially, as they suffer enough already for the loss of a parent. I believe that most parents get their fair chance in court as it is a simple table that the judge follows. I also believe that those parents who are unhappy with the courts finding have additional recourse.

Remember, here we are talking about someone who moved to another country.

I will also add that I admire you for providing for your children even though you disagreed. Been there, done that.

I got full custody of my 2 sons when they were aged 10 and 12, I never got a penny from my exwife, That was 20 years ago....Can I still claim :lol:

There is also a lot of deadbeat mothers out there too !!!

[tiger31]

well in my case my ex wife got real greedy not content with me giving her the house the car and the contents she wanted me to increase my payments for the kids despite her earning more money than me and me left with the clothes on my back.on top of that she woud,t let me see the kids so i stopped her payments until she let me see the kids despite a court order .BTW a court order in the u.k is,nt worth the paper its written on .no uk court will jail a mother who breaks the order so they know how to play the system.I had no contact with my kids for 10 years and payed a heavy price for divorceing her.Not all dads are deadbeats some are drivin crazy by the antics of their ex,s

Dave, I'm sure this abuse takes place more often than we know. However, if the child is not being cared for as a result of a mother's {spoiled bitch} misuse of the funds given for the child's care, then she falls into the same utter disgust category as the deadbeat Dad. Since most states now use an income based table to determine the amount of child support to be paid, I think the abuse is difficult to perpetrate. I personally know of 3 cases where the Fathers have simply taken off and started new relationships and offer no support whatsoever. It's real easy for an unsupportive Father to whine about what the mother does with the money, but it's still the children who suffer. If a Father thinks his support contributions are being misused, it is real easy to appear before a family court judge and have the matter heard and have the situation corrected. For that matter he can even seek custody and have a judge order the wife to pay child support. Running off the Thailand or the Philippines is not the way to deal with it. The reason we have child support laws is to make sure that children are financially taken care of. We have far to many Fatherless children where the Fathers have simply disappeared to escape paying for their children. I think all parents who fail to provide for their children should be held accountable.

I agree with the sentiment, but $2000 per week? Are you kidding? Child support should be set by courts at a minimum level required to keep the children out of poverty. If the parent wants to provide a better lifestyle to their chilldren, that should be a personal choice, not a court-ordered mandate.

She had been banking it after the mortgage was paid off and my kids got nothing.

Who was feeding, clothing and providing shelter for your children?

The boys were working after school and using that money to buy food and clothes. I sent them what I could after all the child support payments and paying my own very cheap rent and living on $50 for groceries a month. And, before school started each fall, I would send them more money for clothes. Note that I sent it to them and not my ex.

[i am bob]

somehow i doubt his exwife was living under a bridge scrounging scraps to feed the kids...wheres her accountability?

So are you saying that because the wife and kids were not living under a bridge, it's ok for him to take off to Thailand or the Philippines and abandon his responsibilities to his children?

Besides you have no idea what her circumstances were.

simple way to find out, GOOGLE or search his case. then share us the results

however, the last time I did a "google"search,

I had the Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité &Säkerhetspolisen at my door step asking questions :th_hu:

You had the Swedish and Canadian spy agencies at your door? :mocking:
