Your economic stimulus payment WILL be intercepted for back child
support!

Thank GOD the Federal Government can do what the deadbeats refuse
to do.
Support their kids.



First, most "deadbeats" don't "refuse", they simply CAN'T pay the
exorbitant C$ amounts;
Second, paying the mother is NOT supporting a child.

The first thing to realize is that "child support" does not have the
same meaning as "supporting a child".

Child support is money paid from one parent to the other under the
pretense that it will be used for the betterment of the child in
question.

I always like to add the CP's pro-rata share of the total CS
obligation is part of the calculation even though the money does not
change hands and there is no tracking of whether it is paid or not.

So the question becomes - If the CP is not providing their share of
the total CS obligation, should their economic stimulus package be
seized too? Why should the CP get both parent's refund?


True, and conversely, if one parent is 'presumed' to support the child,
why isn't the other without evidence to the contrary?
Another point, the CP is allowed to provide a SOL below that equalivant
to the available funds while the NCP is forced to provide "child care"
(another misnomer) for an 18 year old "child" as well as for children
for which there IS no child care costs such as latchkey kids.
