why would you wanna stop paying, its your child, dont you believe you owe something.
-
Don't know but why would you even consider not paying for your child?
-
Lots of bad karma, which is worse then anything the law can do to you. Be a man. Help support the life that you helped create.
-
you go to heaven for being such a responsible parent
-
Because the ----- admited to getting pregnant on purpose and I have been paying for the past 12 years.
-
I why you would even want to be that far away from your children. The other parent must be good if you don't mind leaving them behind. I think it's too late to wonder how you can get away with not paying-you made the decision to be a parent-paying child support is the LEAST anyone can do for their children.

well here in the states if you stop paying you will go to jail, and I would assume it is the same if you move out of country, the U.S. will probably find where you are and then you will have to come back and be placed in jail for non-payment of child support.

if u leave and dont pay you will be punished for that and have court as soon as you come back, they may give u the chance to get a job and take like 75 % of your paycheck, it is extremly hard for them to collect if you are living out of the states with the excepction of canada, but any other place in the american continent and europe asia, why would the spend hours and money to colect 50 80 150 thousand. belieme my cousin is in that situation..

not sure what could happen to you...but why isnt your child a priority to you?

you could get away with it if you don't come back. however if you did come back and became employed as soon as your sociol security # passed over a desk in child support there would probably be a warrant out for you. i am a single mother who never got a dime of child support from my ex, however i am also engaged to a wonderful man who has to pay all his money over to his ex..., so i can see both sides of the coin. i can understand your dilemma, but the best way to deal with it is not to run away, but write letters to your congressman and legislation about changing the laws, not running away from them.

first you have to get out of the country. if you owe more than I beleive 2000 dollars they restrict your passport and you cannot leave the county. Once out of the country there isn't much they can do unless you come back, of course they probably wouldn't know anything right away until you started working and filed taxes...thats' how they find most people is when they file taxes. So if you came back, as long as you didn't file you would not be noticed. As long as you stayed out of the country they wouldn't bother you at all. But child support never goes away so if you ever come back, even if the child is 22, you still owe the money. Best bet is just pay the money.

It depends on what country you move to. Many countries have arrangments with the US in regards to child support (it would still be deducted from your pay) while other courtries don't. I know that Costa Rica has no arrangement with the US so if you moved there and lived there until your death then you would never have to pay antoher cent of child support. However if you ever moved back to the US you would still owe all the back child support plus intrest.

Interpol will be knocking at your door

Nothing if you stay out of the country forever which you probably wont regret. I think it is unfair to judge this guy we live in a sexist/feminist society where a man doesnt make the choice to have a kid but has to take 50% of the responsibility when it comes to raising the kid. Doesnt seem fair to me. I applaud you for being man enough to realize this isnt what you want. Too bad for them. Enjoy your new life in a new country

Your children will do without many things that would improve their lives, including a loving father.
-
Why would you want to stop supporting the children you helped bring into the world?
-
Do not come back under any circumstances unless you have a new SSN and name. More than likely the USA is not going to extradite you for child support. Being that the government really does not care about the children anyway. They tell you one amount in court and then charge you extra and pocket some of it. I used to do research for an attorney in these cases. And like one poster said it is a feminist society where womej have all the choice whether to birth or abort but them man still has to help. I applaud you brother. Just make sure you keep your child support current until you can get a passport and citizenship elswehere. Then run for the hills.
