Man, I can't believe it. I don't know if it's in response to a budget crisis or what, but a neighboring country here has changed their CS payment policy from monthly to weekly. Every week, without fail. Payments fall on a monday now. You have the money or it's 40 days in jail.

That's right.. 40 days. Get paid bi-weekly? tough! Cough it up lo0ser, or its 40 days in the slam for you.. You, you, bi-weekly paid, no account, deadbeat dad, criminal you!

A guy I know who stops in to collect scrap is going in for 40 days over this he told me today.

Now he WAS a machinist (Yes, for real.) till he lost his job, so he collects scrap to help pay bills while he job hunts. (He was job hunting today when he stopped in to see if there was any scrap to come back after later.)

So, he's reduced to a kind of rodent-ish type of existence. Mice run after bread crumbs and this guy runs around sniffing out scrap metal..

As you can imagine, this scrap metal deal is a feast or famine kind of thing.. (Mostly famine, but even a blind squirrel gets lucky every now and again.) so it can be difficult to make a budget.. To put it mildly.

He was doing okay on the bi-weekly schedule, because he had a longer period of time to find enough scrap to support himself and pay the bill. But they cracked down and now it's Monday morning OR ELSE! If he has a slow week, it's just tough shit, you go to jail.

The chick his ex is with now makes REALLY good money, so does his ex herself and so does his son.. He's a power plant welder and bills out at thirty two bucks an hour. So, it's not like anyone in their family is going to frekking starve if they let the guy pay every two weeks, ya know?

Then I have another friend, a chick.. She gets all the health care for her two kids paid for by the state. The state sent her to college (She now has an associates degree in computer programming, which she couldn't ACTUALLY DO at gunpoint) She's talking about RETURNING to college to get ANOTHER DEGREE through the same program. The state paid her child care, the state paid to fix her car. The state paid for her clothes and a sleep test-evaluation thing of some kind because she complained about migraines.. She works when she wants, which isn't allot and it's always part time.

So here's this guy doing one of the most physically demanding jobs I can think of, on a shoe string budget, with no support AT ALL, to make ends meet.. If he's late paying, he goes to jail, loses his place to live, loses everything and gets dumped back on the street with nothing but 40 days worth of bills he can't pay and a deadline of the following monday to pay his support. If he finds a job tomorrow, he'll lose that too. Why even bother to look?

Then we've got this chick, and they sent her to COLLEGE.. for crying out loud! To teach her computer programming! Something she STILL can't do! You may as well pay to teach a badger to play the harmonica. Her degree is completely worthless, and even she admits as much.

It's just sad..

I know the burden your friend is under. Don't know what state you are in but in mine, it's 30 days or $400, whichever is greater, and then they start to ruin your life. I was lucky in that when I was still on the hook I was able to pay up. It wasn't always easy.

Let me fill you in on a little secret. Three words...federal matching funds. Your state's child support enforcement funding is tied directly to the number of dollars they collect from divorced/single fathers. It all happened when DC federalized child support enforcement. When did that happen? Read your "Contract With America" that Newt pushed through. I tried to warn people. But they didn't care. Why? Two more words...deadbead dad. That was the marketing term for the soccer moms.

There is one political red-headed stepchild in this country, and it's the divorced father. Why do you think that 50% plus divorce rate is there? If you had any idea how many jobs depend on the divorce industry, it would be a lot more clear. Do you think it's an accident that women file for more than 2/3 of the divorces and end up with custody of the kids more than 90% of the time?

But no one cares until it happens to them until it happens to them or someone close to them. Why don't I care now? Because I spent years telling people how fucked it was and no one cared...until it happened to them. Like your friend, I was treated to scorn and ridicule and was dismissed. Lots of "The government didn't do this to you, you did this to you." Some of those people later ended up in my position. Now that I've gone through the wringer and I'm done, I'm older and I'm tired. it was a losing battle then, and it's a losing battle now. Your friend has my sympathy. He'll be mad and bitter and want to tell everyone about his situation, hoping for help. But when he gets to where I am, he'll be in the same place...older, tired and just wanting to be left alone.
