It is supposed to be support for a child, and if the father has so much money that the child's life should improve with the income he earns then the child should be placed with the father due to the means with which he can provide said support. ![]()
I think Ray Carruth is a murderer, but I also think he was young. Laws like this drive people to do insane things. Fear is a hell of a motivator. The system is unfair and until it is reformed you're going to see husbands and father doing things they may not have done otherwise. |

Now that seems unfair to the guy right? Okay, well of the state says OK everyone, it's now only going to cost 2000 a month for child support for everyone....That's a huge chunk out of a person's wallet that doesn't make much compared to a drop in the bucket for someone who is rich. I guess my point here is....There's no real fair way. Someone is gonna take a hit. With taking a percentage of a person's salary, it keeps the CS a constant. It takes as much from the poor guy as the rich guy. Not a perfect system. But it's the system. |

The thing is the system is stupid as well because if a man makes 120,000.00 in a year and that year had a bunch of OT and then the economy tanks and OT goes away he is still said to be able to make 120,000.00 because he did it in the past. It is a completely ****ed up system, but I think the cap is a great idea! |
