The Failure of Family Law A Drainpool For Taxpayers
By Kenneth C. Wiggins A Dissatisfied Father,
Taxpayer and Citizen
Thirty years ago, our government's thinking wasn't all that bad.
While eighty percent of fathers paid their reasonable share of child
support expenses, there were twenty percent who did not. Faced with
rising welfare costs, the government's idea was to recover some of the
costs of welfare through an enforcement of child support payments,
specifically aimed at the twenty percent of those "bad dads" who didn't
pay anything.
Today we have the results of those initial efforts.
While the idea may have been well intended, most states did not
implement that idea with the interests of children in mind.
What
was on their minds was the Federal and State incentive funding being
offered. So now the statutes that were developed to handle this
operation have taken those "tools" to their utmost limits and well
beyond. Today, we now know that eighty percent of fathers are still the
ones who pay child support, the same as it was thirty years ago. Today
we know that of the remaining twenty percent, two-thirds simply cannot
afford to pay anything. Today we know that only less than seven percent
of the fathers truely qualify for the term "bad dad." After thirty
years, we have gained absolutely nothing in "recovered welfare."
It is what we have lost that is the "shame of America."
First to fall was our Constitution. Virtually all of the Rights
guaranteed by the Constitution have been set aside under the "color of
law" in the name of "our children's best interests." Articles 1,
5,6,7,8, 13 and 14 have been summarily suspended. Those rights have been
abrogated by government authorities who now decide that the needs of
children supercede all other responsibilities to our constitution.
Fraud, in any other court, would carry serious liabilities, even
criminal penalties ... except in our Family Courts. Paternity Fraud has
become among the most serious of these problems. Laboratories which do
DNA testing, document that between 25-30% of theses test are not a
paternal match, even among married couples. Most courts studiously avoid
admitting such evidence, and then consistantly ignore it anyway. Women
simply lie about the paternity of a child, and the courts start
collecting money for them. Even when "caught" in that lie, there is no
penalty for a woman, and, most often, the men are forced to continue to
pay.
"But they can't just do that!?!" But they just do.
In Child Support, "imputation" of wages is a government tool to gain
leverage to extract the highest dollar amount from those payers, mostly
men. No evidence, no jury, not even a lawyer. That they immediately just
start collecting is, in itself, a tool, designed to make it even more
difficult to get legal representation. Even the courts themselves are
designed for the maximum profitability. Lawyers are barred by court
rules from addressing these Rights except by appeal to much higher
courts. The entire system is "decided" by the lesser of financial evils.
Which is cheaper, to pay the court demands, or pay their "buddy" lawyer
system.
Caseworkers simply "decide" matters of custody, parenting and child
support. Judges simply ignore evidence, court procedure, statute of law
and the Constitution. Everything becomes "an issue" for a higher court
... with a higher price tag. The "immunities" of public servants protect
them from any repercussions, and so, even if you "win" in a higher
court, you just can't win much, and especially for damages they may have
caused.
The rewards for running such an "extortion mill" are written in those
Federal and State incentive fundings. Caseworkers and agency heads get
"bonuses" and judges get "judicial awards", based on their
"performance."
Nor does it doesn't stop there. More Federal and State funds poured
in for Child Protection Services. "Default custody" is given to women,
and they tend to work less and have less income. Those caseworkers have
access to court records, they have a ready-made call-list for new
clients - low-income, single, divorced women. CPS has taken on a life of
its own, and have become a multi-billion dollar "legal" scam, fleecing
the taxpayer, bankrupting and destroying thousands of families.
The real costs, and the real failure of this system is yet to be
determined. It is in our children's futures. We are teaching our boys to
be mistrustful of women and to be afraid of our society, especially of
our government. We are teaching our girls to lie, and to use the system
to abuse men for their own profit. We are creating a society of
"fatherless children."
Fatherless children are: 32 times more likely to run away. 14 times
more likely to commit rape. 5 times more likely to commit suicide. 20
times more like to end up in prison. 9 times more likely to drop out of
high school. 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances. 20 times
more likely to have behavioral disorders. 9 times more likely to end up
in a state-operated institution.
Eighty-five percent of the people in jails and prisons in this
country came from fatherless homes. We have one of the highest
incarcerations rates (1 per 147 people) in the world. While local law
enforcement officials cry for more to prisons to hold these already
bulging criminal populations, our Family Courts are busily creating the
future inmates of tomorrow.
Our Children are their future felons. Of course, then they'll need
more money ... to build more jails.
