$25 Annual Service fee per year & $3 month for woman who recieve child support

[Magnimike1]

The payor already pays fees. Now the payee will too. It is less than the payor still by far.

Why should a company have to absorb expenses of paying your child support. Of course the employee is going to pay for it. Paying child support shouldn't be an employers responsibility anyways, they didn't knock the girl up.




Yes I understand why it works the way it does, but that doesn't make it right.

I just didn't know that companies were charged a fee for making child support payments on behalf of their employees so I wondered who paid that. I figured it was absorbed by the employee.

Its just another example of the systems failing in this country on the funds they have run on for years & with the cost of expensives people have lives they have to maintain up there in the Capital here in Texas, To think Rick Perry wants to run for president too.

[idrivea4banger]

Lol, this won't last. All the baby mommas will start bitching about the fees.

[SEB]

Well im gonna be like Delta Airlines and pull out on time

[MutherjuggZ]

I knew it would. They are like the aliens in ID4. They come in, suck out all the resources and move on to another state.

I wonder what the coloradoians think about folks that move up there from Texas?

E-mail that was just recived from my daughters mother



NEW: Annual Service and Monthly SDU Fees Notice
Beginning September 1, 2011, processing fees for certain cases take effect. If a fee is assessed it will be deducted from your child support payment.

Monthly SDU Fee
Beginning September 1, 2011, custodial parents will pay a $3 monthly fee in cases that receive registry-only payment processing and record keeping services through the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) for each month in which a child support payment of more than $3 is received. The fee will be deducted from your child support payment.

Annual Service Fee
Beginning October 1, 2011, custodial parents who receive full service monitoring and enforcement services and have never been on public assistance will pay a $25 service fee for each year that they receive more than $500 in child support collections. The fee will be deducted from your child support payment.

Who will be charged a fee?

Custodial parents who receive full-service monitoring and enforcement services and have never been on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families will pay a $25 service fee for each year that they receive at least $500 in child support collections. The fee will be deducted from the child support payment. The custodial parent will pay a $3 monthly fee in cases that receive registry-only payment processing and record keeping services through the federally mandated State Disbursement Unit (SDU) for each month in which a child support payment of at least $3 is received. The fee will be deducted from the child support payment.

A case will not accrue both an annual service fee and a monthly SDU fee simultaneously.

I don't know anything about child support that isn't in this thread, so if my ignorance makes me sound like a dick I apologize and feel free to educate me if I am missing something:

All this because they are going to take $25 a year? Really? If I am reading this right this is only for people receiving "full-service monitoring and enforcement services". I don't know what all that entails (wage garnishment?) but it sounds like it is talking about more involved situations, not run of the mill deals. I'm sure it is worth $25 a year to have someone make sure you get paid, isn't it?

Srsly dude? I can't make shit out of the last part of that statement.

My brother has full time custody of his son and he douchebag ex wife pays a measly $98 a month in child support. The State set up the checking account and mailed my brother the card and account info. Everytime he uses the card there is a $2.50 charge. Plus they put a monthly service fee on there too.

It is a scam. Dead beat dads forced Texas to control the payments back and forth and now that the money is moving it is time to start skimming from both sides.

Just another scam of our goverment to get money from its citizens. Think about it.

I imagine there is a easy couple hundred thousand people who get Child Support.

$3 a month comes out to $600,000 a month alone & the annual $25 a year. is a couple million alone for Annual money coming in. Also I am sure there is more then 200,000 people in Texas who get child support.

This is all thanks to Rick Perry! He wants to run for president. I can only imagine what he dreams up to tax Americans if he gets that seat.

If I remember correctly, Texans are viewed as slow driving assholes that come up here and clog up the roads and small towns. Californians are not viewed in a very kind light. I used to have a bumper sticker on my truck (when I lived here before) that said "Don't Californicate Colorado".

I always thought Colorado was very liberal?

You're mistaken. This place has always been staunchly conservative and only started to lib out in the past 15 yrs or so.

Denver is pretty liberal, the rest is not. Kind of like Austin is to Texas.
