I'm waiting for the ones who will come on here and call you a POS dead beat dad for even thinking of making this thread. I feel your pain 100%, but I remember last time I brought this up everyone turned in to internet bullies.

In my experence our child support cases are somewhere around 1 in 10 are female defendants.
Tax returns are not garnished unless there is back support of some type.
If the parent with custody gets certain types of welfare, the State can go after the other parent to get paid back for that tax payer supported welfare.
I've seen owed back support as high as $50,000.

Did you ever get your case reviewed, or any changes made?
Well I will say it, you are not "A POS for even thinking of this thread!!"
Oddly enough, I did an externship with DHS CSED In law school. Was interesting to say the lease. Anyone who does not fit in their fully automated system of click here and take money seems to rub them the wrong way. However, they are held to a series of rules and getting things changed can happen. You simply need to either know the rules or get a lawyer. Preferably both actually. I can say that many of the DHS cases are handled differently when the obligor has counsel.
Here is a good example. I had a CS hearing today at 1:30 in Cleveland County. Was called off at 10:00am finally when they decided to keep the offices closed. Yet another parent being ramrodded by DHS and the custodial parent. Odd thing is that my client is the mother though. Dad has been getting paid for kids he no longer even has in his home. Nice! I will get that fixed obviously. Also, there are a bunch of arrears owed or back child support. These arrears are not "state" funds which means they can be waived. Next, you find some reason for the other side to want to waive those arrears. However, if these were state arrears, where money was owed to a custodial parent that had been receiving some sort of state assistance they can not waive the arrears. That sucks. All is not lost though because lots of people forget to include all of the mitigating factors to the support guidelines on the DHS website. Such as other kids in the home, nights overnight sometimes, etc.
Hope that sheds light. If not, call me. Feel free to pick my brain.
