LET'S just say this.....the fact that in the past,fathers throughout the USA have had to fight hard to even get what is oftentimes simply handed out routinely to women... is a huge clue?
-------------
Over the years, I have personally witnessed many cases where men were routinely ignored and where many women just sat there and collected support...while not every case is exactly the same, I have seen disturbing patterns emerge from what appears to be a type of claimed entitlement by women who do not want to work....and NOW I do NOT do any child support cases any longer. I have seen disturbing trend in DCSS to rubberstamp everything---no thanks. I used to work for a Father's Rights group in So Cal and I like to even the playing field, because I have seen far too many women take advantage of situations, and although the laws may seem to help women more than men, I did not write the laws!

However, I am willing to defend those who have been fighting uphill battles against people who believe they are either entitled, or that one parent believes that he or she alone owns the kids, or some other nonsensical garbage, and especially where one parent or the other -is a liar? We normally catch those people (the parent or parents) in the act because they will use anything they can to get one over on the other parent.
Such things should never be happening and often in the mix we will see mental issues involving bipolar, paranoid, rage syndrome, criminal issues, and breaking of the law. This is fairly common in this county (Butte)...Therefore, having seen these issues over and over and over, it might benefit a parent to get legal help.... It is not a fast process, believe me, but once you can garner some sufficient control over the situation, it will become easier.
