The non-custodial parent (NCP), Mr. Vance’s testimony revealed that his main contention is that he does not owe the amount of child support that is indicated by the State of Alabama Child Support Enforcement Division. He stated that he received the court order payment summary from the child support caseworker (CSW), Ms. Gordon, dated November 29, 2017 a month ago which indicated that the State balance is $25,683.38 and the custodial parent (CP) balance is $47,856.93. He stated that his focus is on the State balance because the issue of interest is something that is very important that it cannot be resolved as a result of the hearing.

The concepts that Kathleen Genson discusses reinforces the analysis Kramer presented in Chapter 4 “The Family and Intimate Relationships” of The Sociology of Gender. First and foremost, both authors would agree that family is a structure that institutionalizes and maintains gender norms. Both authors would also agree that “families tend to be organized around factors that the individual members cannot control.” In Genson’s chapter “Dilemmas of Involved Fatherhood,” the most prominent forces are the economy and social expectations, both listed and explained by Kramer. Genson’s explanation of how it is unfeasible for men to withdraw from the workforce and focus more time and energy on being involved fathers is an example of the economic factors.
I will be evaluating the case of Angela and Adam. Angela is a white 17 year old female and Adam is her son who is 11 months old (Broderick, P., & Blewitt, P., 2015). According to Broderick, P., & Blewitt, P., (2015) Angela and her baby live with her mother, Sarah, in a small rental house in a semirural community in the Midwest. Adam’s father, Wayne, is estranged from the family due to Sarah refusing to allow him in the house however, Angela continues to see him without her mother’s permission which is very upsetting for Sarah. Angela dropped out of high school and struggles raising her son (Broderick, P., & Blewitt, P., 2015). With all that is going on in Angela and Sarah’s life right now their relationship has become strained and hostile which
In the United States today more than one-half of all marriages end in divorce. The purpose of this paper is to examine the reason why women have typically received custody of the children far more often than the fathers. In order to better understand child custody one must first examine how fathers have often times been left out of the picture, and conversely why mothers have had such hard times raising children on their own. This paper will first examine the perspective of a father who has lost custody of his children.

Two years after they married, Paula gave birth to their son, Jason Paul, on June 5, 1972. Tragically Paula died in childbirth, leaving Stephen with sole responsibility for their son. Since he could not support Jason on his current earnings, Stephen took a higher-paying job with a computer firm and tried to arrange child care, which proved to be challenging. Soon afterward, Stephen applied at the Social Security office in New Brunswick, New Jersey for survivors' benefits for himself and his son. He was able to obtain a death benefit and benefits for his son under 42 U.S.C. § 402...

The amount of child support cases in arrears would decline if a few things were changed, hopefully providing incentives to pay child support on time and regularly. There are also harsher consequences that could be carried out to prevent future mistakes. There are things being done, but is it enough? As it stands the noncustodial parent can face loss of visitation, probation, and even jail time for none payment of child support. By not enforcing court ordered child support and making examples out of those who are not in compliance, we are sending out a message that child support is more of an option than a legal obligation. Think about the ones who are really suffering here, the children involved.
families, they become more interested in participating to see those efforts succeed (Ferlazzo & Hammond, 2009).
With the increase of divorce and the number of children being born out of wedlock, parental alienation continues to grow. With custody laws changing, allowing for equal opportunities for both parents to raise their children, and fathers beginning to fight for their right to be involved, not just every other weekend fathers, custody battles have become increasingly fierce. Another factor contributing to this is the fact that many courts consider who will be more willing to encourage the child to have a heathly and continuing relationship with the other parent.
The income that people pay for child support has many factors. Depending on what state you may reside in plays a major role in how much the parent may end up paying. Looking at things on a broad spectrum anything is valid when it comes down to determining the amount that a child will receive from the noncustodial parent. According to LawInfo there are three models that states choose to follow in order to calculate the income of each person's child support case; Flat Percentage, Income Shares, and Melson Formula. The similarity between these three models is how much the parents receive economically and the child’s necessities. With these three models plugged into the child support system we will get a better understanding of how the parents and children benefit from each model. Once the economic issues are settled among the parents there may not be a stable environment just yet until custody rights are given and agreed on. The following models will give a brie...
nobody can do anything about it until he is six months behind in his support.
The main point of the article is to explain what constitutes as bad parenting if no harm comes to the child. The author discusses a controversial topic that causes the reader to question ethics versus personal perceptions. The main argument can be found in paragraph six where it says “But, as always, the question is: What’s deviant behaviour? Which ideologies are the taboo ones? And who decides?” Issues of bad parenting extend to extremes of religious beliefs, overweight children, and parents forcing their children to become pageant girls. Wente suggests that if the behaviour considered deviant is not hurting the child is it considered bad parenting. She brings up the topic of a couple who have strong white supremist views and are considered believers in Nazism. They did have strong beliefs in Nazism, but they did not abuse their
