Parents Behaving Badly

Rich parents paying only $6 a week for child support

by joelnet on February 19th, 2007

In Hobart Australia, the Child Support Agency has reported hundreds of parents living in upscale communities that are hiding their income. Why are they hiding their income? They’ve been hiding their income in order to qualify for the minimum amount for child support.

These parents are paying as little as $6.00 a week, which comes out to about $0.85 a day. I guess these parents expect their child to survive on tap water alone. You certainly couldn’t afford anything nicer, like bread.

The Child Support Agency is beginning to crack down on these dead parents and expect to see an additional $460 million in child support collected.

Being a deadbeat parent is bad enough, but a wealthy deadbeat? Inexcusable.

    I know first hand of a parent only being required to pay $34.50 per month for the suport of 3 children and he’s not paying it and has’nt for 10 months and he even tried to get that amount reduced, because he isnt a wage earner he has his own business he seams able to get away with it, and it stinks.

    That is beyond lame. So many people just have no sense of responsibility or integrity.

    Report dead beat parents free! New support forum allows users and visitors to report non-paying parent information in child support cases. This resource will assist users to circulate and collect information about a dead beat parent’s location and financial information which will be used to aid in the collection of past due child support.

    I know first hand about this.. While I was growing up my “father” as you could call him, only paid $83 a month for my sister and I .. He has worked as a “excutive producer” in a high tech studio for some big time thing in New York our whole lives..And we never got more than that..
    And he got away with it..

    Look Around.. It happen in the Good Ol’ USA also!
