Shared from Wisconsin Alimony Reform page: https://facebook/WAReform?fref=nf We have a huge problem in our State Family Courts which symptomatic of a much larger National Problem. The Judges have become bias because of presumptive State Laws and the Family Law Attorneys are financially denuding divorcing families. Back in the 80’s, under Title IV, the Federal Government enacted law which compensates the states 60% or more for every dollar that the state garnishes from an alimony payer. The Family Court Judges state that wage garnishment is in the best interest of the recipient in that it insures payments are made. This is a huge conflict of interest because it is in fact in their best interest because it insures that the States can continue to pay Judges Pensions and pay the Judicial Bureaucracy which supports Family Courts. All of this is done on the backs of the taxpayers. What is even more troubling is that there seems to be a trend that the Family Court Judges are systematically going after the larger wage earners so that these matching Federal funds are greater. Alimony and child support are different forms of support and as such different laws apply to their payment. The states are comingling these funds into one account so that the more stringent laws for child support apply. Arrears of child support can be remedied by reaching across state lines, but not alimony. Because the States are comingling these funds they are able to reach across state lines for arrears in alimony. The Federal Government ties strings to these matching funds. In order to qualify for the matching funds the states must pass laws which suspend driver’s licenses, professional licenses and business licenses if you are in arrears in your comingled Family Services account. This is inane. If you lose your job and fall behind in your support payment s all of your licenses which allow you to work are revoked. How are you to gain employment with all of your licenses revoked? Also, in order to qualify for the funds the states must report all people in arrears to the Federal Government who then revokes your passport. The whole comingling of alimony and child support cascades into violations of our constitutional rights. I believe there is not a person out there who does not want to support their children and further most reformers agree that some form of durational alimony is justified in most cases. But when the durational alimony is permanent it becomes entitlement. One other part of The Family Court system is that they are reaching back to the 1800’s and are now putting people who are in alimony arrears into debtors prisons. They do this under the guise of “Contempt of Court” charges. This is happening right now. If you lose your job and cannot pay your alimony the Family Court Judge will find you in “Contempt of Court” and throw you in jail indefinitely. Please help us shine a light on this tragedy that is happening in our Family Courts. youtube/watch?v=4xlF07RNw2s https://change.org/…/abolish-life-time-alimony-in-new-j… newsworks.org/index.php/essay-works/item/53295
