Daddy Nobucks: When Involuntary Fathers Are Forced to Foot The Bill
My father died when I was 10. I spent two years in an orphanage and was shuffled from foster home to foster home.
I put myself through college and earned an Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering Technology with a cumulative GPA of 3.4.
The mother of my child possesses a bachelors and an associates degree.
I began investing in real estate and securities in my mid twenties.
Through hard work and wise investing my net worth most certainly would have been between $1.5 and $2 million by age 55.
I’m 40 and bankrupt. My child support and medical support order total $1130/mo despite the fact that I have my daughter 50% of the time.
I consider myself fortunate. Many Fathers regularly pay their child support yet are prohibited from seeing their children.
I can’t afford to heat my home in winter, drive a “beater”, am behind in all of my bills and am once again facing foreclosure on my home.
My mortgage company will debit my checking account on November 30th.
Should there be insufficient funds, they have informed me that a foreclosure action will be initiated against me.
My take on those sanctimonious persons posting to this thread who in complete ignorance defend the present child support system, yet no nothing about Title IV-D, E, TANF, and the hundreds of billions of dollars in profits by the states at the “EXPENSE” of our children?
“Simple minded.”
The ignorance of those dispensing their overvalued opinions regarding a child support system whose corrupted and deceptive architecture they no nothing about is very entertaining to me.
Those who honesty don’t believe one can be incarcerated and have their assets seized absent a trial and without committing a crime are simple minded people.
Their perception of reality is more than mere illusion, it’s pathological.
I’m facing foreclosure again and honestly don’t care. What can I do? I owe thousands to family members, have no credit and emptied the IRA’s long ago.
Even more funny is that for the first time in my life, I owe the IRS and lack the ability to pay. What are they going to do, take my house?
Why do I find this amusing? First and foremost I still retain my most precious and invaluable treasure. A 50% visitation schedule with my wonderful daughter.
Since I still have access to my daughter (for now), I’m bankrupt, can’t pay my bills, am facing incarceration “again” (because I can’t afford to make court ordered payments) what do I have left for them to take? Absolutely nothing.
Do I mismanage my money? Absolutely not. I simply can’t pay my bills with a child support order that nearly equals my mortgage, and steals almost half of my net monthly income.
Life has become very simple for me. First, pray to God that I will continue to be fortunate enough to see my daughter. Second, stay out of jail.
If I am incarcerated for contempt I will lose my job. That would create a small problem as the “felony clock” begins ticking.
With my support order set as high as it is, in a matter of months I’d officially qualify as a “deadbeat” and a felony non-support warrant for my arrest would be issued.
If that happens, logic dictates but two choices. Go on the lam, or be incarcerated UNTIL I can pay my arrearage.
Do I still find this humorous? ABSOLUTELY! Why?
The day will come when all will not only see, but be forced to acknowledge the truth. By then, it’ll be too late.
If Stephen Baskerville’s newly released book, “Taken Into Custody” doesn’t stop this madness, this country will rightfully implode.
