Stop going to all those porn sites? Could get rid of your carpal tunnel.

Hey man
FYI: a wrist splint alleviates symptoms in 80% of carpal tunnel patients WITHIN DAYS.
you gotta try that

The problem is...PA doesnt do a thing to those who dont pay them. So for me, the guidelines dont mean diddily swat.

I highly recommend this book also. It is very good.

It seems NC and GA don't do a thing to those who do not pay, also.

Flordia don't do nothing either..

neither does ks but they have put the baby's daddy in jail twice now for a week

Yes, people were not made to type on computers. Take careful note on your wrist position, provide yourself rest and stretch breaks, and wear splints if you need reminders to avoid wrist bending on the keyboard. Good luck!

I loved it like I loved every 'Dummies' book. Very informative, easy read, complete. There is a section that describes information one should have at the first appointment/evaluation - very useful. The questions the book lists as likely to be asked were the exact questions my pdoc asked at my evaluation.

In Texas, they are very serious about putting people in jail. If the Attorney General is working for the custodial parent , you have greater chances of getting child support needed.

In Florida, the Legislature re-visits the Child Support Guidelines within the same interval.

However, and while this is in general, it may differ between jurisdictions, child support are based on two things; need and ability. The need of the child(ren), and the ability of the payor to pay additional child support if such exists. Both MUST be met.

Again, in Florida, the Department of Revenue enforces child support in all counties, except for Miami-Dade, where the State Attorney's Office does. By statute, neither the DOR or the SAO can file on behalf of a custodial parent, if the custodial parent is not claiming some sort of public assistance.

The burden to file for a child support modification rests with the parents, and a modification WILL NOT be granted, unless the litmus test of "a substantial change of circumstances not foreseen at the time of the last order, which is permanent in nature," is met. A payors' pay raise of 10K a year, is not considered a substantial change of circumstances; neither is a reduction in pay for the same amount. However, a change in the payscale of 30K a year, may meet the litmus test.

At any rate, the mere ability to pay more, without the needs of the child(ren) being increased, or the needs of the child(ren) increasing, without the payor's ability to pay more support, does not meet the standard, and will not provide for a modification of child support.

Also, it's important to remember that in most jurisdictions, child support is the responsibility of BOTH parents, as child support is the right of the child, not of the parent who's collecting child support. The parent to whom child support payments are made, is also financially responsible for supporting the child. If that parent chooses to remain unemployed that parent can be held in contempt of court for failing to provide support of the child(ren). The non-custodial parent is not responsible for 100% of the support of the child(ren).

eh..the system in my county in MI is so saturated with non custodial parents that owe back support its almost impossible for them to carry the burden of sticking to the law...

If your ex is self emplpyed, forget about getting childsupport.! They only help in dade county if the parent has an employer for automatic deductions. It also helps if you are on medicare.. Mine had his license suspended for only a week ( he owed over $30,000 ) and had not paid in 2 years, until his attorney sent a motion that they did not agree with the amount owed.. and guess what? It stopped EVERYHTING.. he has done this twice and it works all the time...
I do not understand the LAW,,, it never helps the right party...
