Fathers Dealing with the System of Child Support: First allow me to say that family court has no interest in “the best interest of the child”. Stop being naive. The last thing family court is concerned with is “best interest of the child”. Get that ridiculous concept out of your heads. The United States is a country of fatherless children. More than 80% of American households do not have a father in the home. Statistics over the years point to many social problems as a result of this epidemic. Fatherless boys are twice as likely to end up in prison while fatherless girls are 53% more likely to marry as teenager to have male influence in her life. The statistics on the effects this epidemic has on children are alarming. In order to rectify the problem, American courts have put stringent child support laws into place. By requiring father’s to pay child support, the financial burden of fatherless children are taken off the government and placed upon the father. Most people agree that fathers SHOULD pay child support to their children. Each day, thousands of men are taken to court, ordered to pay their child support and placed in jail if they do not pay. Though the courts are acting in the best interest of fatherless children, this system does little to fix the social problems of children without fathers. Martin Jongue
