For a myriad of reasons - disgust mostly - it's been quite a long while since I've updated my blog, but not much has really changed. 

Though the government and media would have people believe differently, the fact remains that in US divorce and custody matters, Mom's are still granted primary physical custody of minor children - when such kids are involved - in over 90 percent of cases. While the term varies by State, Primary Physical Custody remains the cornerstone from which child support amounts are "determined".... Understand what "bias" is? In Family Law Court "bias" doesn't convey the half of it! Read on, please.....

 

It really is all about the money and if you have any doubt, consider this:

During fiscal year 2019/20 - the most recent data I've received to date - California's Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) received $779 million in Federal funds for it's case management and child support enforcement effort(s). Of those funds, about $50 million was used for DCSS's highly flawed child support automation, essentially, their IT Department.

Something else that hasn't changed, is that not a dime of those Federal funds ever makes its way into the lives of children of divorce or impoverished kids.

 

No, instead those funds prop up the egregious compensation, benefits, and pension packages of those employed by - or retired from - the child support enforcement racket, and trust me, it is a racket of epic proportion. .

A Gestapo-like conglomeration of semi-anesthetized people such as Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (LACDCFS) Director Brandon Nichols whose compensation package costs taxpayers almost $550,000 per year!

Yes all one need do is Google the term child and - if its not first - it'll be close, the term child support appears. Add the letter s after child and child support is always at the top of the list of click choices, "Best Interest of the Child" remains a bullshit lie the Court's spew.

 And then we have "Paternity Fraud" - Never heard of that one?!

Paternity Fraud are matters wherein a man or boy is or was, misidentified as "Father" on a birth certificate - whether named accidentally, intentionally, or otherwise - and either sooner or later is, at the risk of jail, ordered to pay child support for a baby.

In the United States, these types of matters remain the only article of court or law wherein scientific proof of innocence does not exonerate!

 

A DNA test will get a guy off Death Row or prove he didn't rape, but if he's outside of what are very obscure statutes of limitations - that vary largely by State - within which to challenge and disestablish paternity, he's on the hook paying child support for a child that DNA evidence has, again, proven that he didn't father.

There are hundreds and perhaps thousands of such men and boys all across the Nation....
