This group is to educate Custodial Parents (male and female) on Child Support in Illinois. This Not For Profit Organization offers education to families that need information about the legal rights and remedies for Child Support Enforcement. This will be achieved through educating you on Enforcement Tools, Illinois Statues, Contact information for Child Support Enforcement and Government officials, websites you can visit for information on enforcement tools used by CSE and the courts to force the Non Custodial Parent to meet their court ordered Child Support Obligation. We will teach you how to document your case and how to stay actively involved in your Child Support cases. We will also educate you on obtaining Medical Support and Paternity issues. Child Support in Illinois not only has this group site but we have a website as well. We offer support, education and motivation along with a huge boost of hope and encouragement. CSII (aka Child Support in Illinois) also offers advocacy programs to ensure that Child Support laws are justly, strictly and expeditiously enforced for the benefit of collecting the support that every child deserves to have. Children are affected by parents who fail to meet legal and moral Child Support obligations. All children deserve to be support by both parents. We will also assist you on interstate cases (you live here and the non-custodial parent lives in another state or vise versa). It is our hope to provide you with the information you need to persuade Child Support Enforcement to use their enforcement tools that are available. Education is the Key! The more educated the Custodial Parent becomes, the more they will achieve.

This support group will show you how to work the system and get more money from the non const parent that gets to see his kids maybe 2 months out of the year. Good luck to all fathers, esp unmarried ones, god knows we dont have many rights

We need help just as much as the custodial parent that doesnt want to work and live off child support that doesnt go towards the kids anyway. Is child support money supposed to go towards ciggys? they need to come up with something controlling how child support money is spent

Again, you are being completely histrionic.

I get that your are extremely frustrated, but it is utterly ridiculous to assert that ALL custodial parents blow their child support on cigarettes and booze while ignoring their children who they cannot properly raise anyway because they are unstable.

In Illinois, CS is figureed at 20% for one child. If you made $100,000, you would owe $20,000 a year in CS. There is NO WAY the custodial parent is living large off that 20-grand. Cut your salary in half, and you are trying to say that a custodial parent can support some drunken, cig-smoking lifstyle off of $10,000 a year.

It's a hard reality, but HOW the custodial parent spends the CS is none of your business. As long as the child is fed and sheltered and receiving all the basic necessities and not being neglected, distributon of the CS funds are at the sole descression of the person who receives them, not you. That is how it works. If you can prove that the child's circumstances are in desperate need of change, file for a modification of custody. Otherwise, quit complaining and be a father.

A quick Google search came up with these websites for information for NCP's:

There are also support groups, local and national, on-line and in person, for example:

If you want help, be proactive. If you want to complain that life ain't fair, well, I can't stop you there. These are the consequences for having a child with someone who you could not secure a relationship with. Deal with it.

Also, the fact that there are NCP's (moms and dads alike) who do everything in their power to dodge child support is very, very real. These children deserve to be supported by both parents. That is what the original poster's website does. My son's father hasn't given even CLOSE to the amount of money that he owes, despite my efforts. And the law says all he has to do is literally throw 20 bucks or so my way every once in a while, and he's making a "good faith effort" and cannot be prosecuted for non-support. Then he up and disappeard, and you know what? I can't do squat. Stop being so bitter. You are not the only person who ever gets screwed by the system.

MoB, it's much easier to whine and complain about the situation than it is to man up and do something about it. Just think...if he spent as much time trying to better his situation as he does ranting on the web, he might actually get to see his kids more than "two months out of the year".
