The Deadbeat Dad Myth
December 6th, 2006
*** begin quote ***
In the end, it’s all about money. Over two thirds of the divorces are initiated by women who were promised that they can have it all: The kids, the house, and a nice paycheck every week to ease the agony of their oftentimes flippant decision to destroy their families. What they don’t know is the only reason they are so often encouraged down this path has nothing to do with what’s ‘best for her family.’ The family concept could be repaired if more people were willing to work on it instead of cutting and running the second things got a little rough. Divorce, on the other hand, is a business that is keeping thousands of people in a new Lexus every year.
Let me say that again in case anyone missed it: Women are encouraged towards divorce because the system profits when their families implode.
Your divorce keeps the judges, the lawyers, the file clerks and the security guards all in jobs. Court appointed therapists and counselors benefit financially when you’re forced into programs with little substance designed to make you feel better about being in a broken home. The main benefactor is the child support agency who takes a 2% cut out of every child support check for as long as the child is in the system.

Now that’s an interesting assertion. I think it’s interesting that the State doesn’t “insure” the judgment. I know for a fact that in New Jersey, that you may have a judgment, but if the State collects zero, you get zero. No skin off their nose. No stats on how they help or hurt the process. Now you can be sure if it was their money from taxes, they’d move heaven and earth to get it. If they were concerned about the children, they’d cut the family a check and assume the role of guarantor. So I tend to suspect that this fellow has it pegged — fees, employment, and contracts are probably the prime mover.

Yup, the gubamint, aka the gooferment (I like that one!), shouldn’t be involved in (virtually) anything! Maybe I didn’t state it correctly. But if the State really “cared about the children”, then they would step and say “yup, Custodial parent Joe or Jane, you need 500$/month to care for little Johnnie, Scottie, or Mary. Their non-custodial parent is ordered to pay it. And, we the State will guarantee you get it. If non-custodial doesn’t pay, the taxpayers will keep you safe!” If they were really serious, they’d do that. BUT THEY AREN”T!!! They want the illusion of caring. They want the fees associated with caring. They want the jobs as if they were caring. BUT it’s all a fraud!
No the State should butt out. they can’t do it right. They don’t do it right. AND, it’s a civil matter between the injured parties.
IMHO the state has no business in marriage or children either. One could make a mild case that they are the protector of last resort to prevent the violence of abandonment on children. But, there used to be PRIVATE charitable children’s protection organizations. Like the ASPCA, it’s has morphed into a gubamint function!!

Now let me get this straight, the government shouldn’t be involved in our lives, particularly our financial lives, but the state should cut a family a check upon a divorce. Isn’t this a “dole” that would be government sposored? Personally I agree with your assesment, but I’m suprised that you feel that way. Maybe I’m rubbing off on you a little bit. By the way, the state really needs stricter enfocement and penalties for deadbeat dads!
