NO FLY LIST - THANKS AUSTRALIAN CHILD SUPPORT

Australian Child Support System is broken.

Women with sons should remember those sons will be men one-day.

Honorable & politician are two words that should never be associated together.

I've been paying Child Support for 16 Years (lucky me) and I still have 2-3 years left. I have been denied access on and off for 16 years and had private agreements and plans constantly changed. I have done my best to maintain a positive and meaningful relationship with my child but the demeaning and inhumane nature of the CCS/CSA grinds you down. CCS is a marginal and unpopular political football and will never be adopted as major policy reform. We cannot rely on politicians or bureaucrats to change this broken mess. Child Support is a manufactured debt and is a violation of our human rights. If change is what you need than do not vote Labor as they were the major party that introduced the scheme in 1988 and are extremely unsympathetic to men in this situation.

actually got emotional.
Thanks for this video. My child support days are behind me, but I went through the gammit of stressful situations to get here.

My daughter was kept from me her entire life that’s 20 years, I was taken to court, accused of abuse, had dvo put on me and my daughter manipulated to the point she is actually not wanting a relationship with me because of the feministic house hold she grew up in. I never did anything to deserve it but the good old Australian government didn’t give a shit either. I’ve been close to ending it many times the pain and suffering was insane. Men I feel you and you are not alone

Thanks for making this video!
It's about time we start voicing ourselves,
There are many great dad's out there that just want the best for there kids! Thanks again.

Thank you Danny for putting this issue in a Vlog. Human services did everything they could to break me and never listened to me once. I never missed one payment in 4 years and overpaid to cause no issues. The more successful I got in Real Estate the more they would take and make me feel as though i was lying to them each time an assessment was done. I was told numerous times we will force payment even though i had never missed a payment. They almost pushed me over the edge and had no sympathy at all and couldn't care one bit for my mental health or my point of view. I was one of the lucky ones who got through, many men don't. Thank you again.

You are very correct! It is a messed up system for fathers. I my self paid on my daughter for 21 years and never once got the chance to even see her. The court told me just to pay and don’t worry about seeing my daughter. Well now she is age 24 and we have a very happy and healthy relationship. I am glad you have posted this dads need to heard from when it comes to children.
Love the vlogs keep up the wonderful work.

Men should flood MP's offices so that the MPs get so sick of it that they take it to parliament.

[seanbullemor]

It a disgusting system. I ask if it could go to my daughter's medical, food shopping and schooling they said if the mother agrees. Obviously not as close to $300 a week is better in her pocket to get her personal things done. While I struggle

[warwickbourke]

I might be 2 years late but THANK YOU, thank you, thank you. This has no doubt helped a lot of paying fathers see they are not the only ones that are belittled and intimidated. I’ve been separated coming on 5 years and experienced this from them too. I’m yet to hear a child support story in favor of the father or even a fair outcome. Thanks again Danny.

My experience Dan, exposed to the “child support system “ in NSW…..caused my wife and I, our intent to “get back together”, to deteriorate. The system was that bad. It actually drove my wife and I away from each other, therefore our kids away from their parents.

[pjm]

Mate I hear you.. What kind of system financially rewards the bad behaviour of mothers and penalises hard working battling dads who just want to see there kids. The less time you're allowed to see your kids the more you have to pay.. Unbelievable system.

[Cavells.Travells]

My kids won’t even talk to me anymore, because my ex-wife has disrespected me to my kids. Now I never talk to them …… I’m never missed what the government wants me to pay, but to her it’s never enough …… I HEAR YOU DANNY, you’re a great dad and role model and perhaps you can now make a difference given your recent publicity. BIG APPLAUSE for this post

Like many fathers I have a similar story. Its interesting to see that the US and Australia are similar in the way the court system is broken! I'm a veteran I served 2 tours in Iraq, and suffer from PTSD. I was made to feel like this makes me a bad father. We are treated like second class citizens. The female judge I had in the liberal state of Colorado took nearly 60% of my take home pay, 100% of my parenting time. The court system has allowed my ex to have a restraining order which prohibits me from owning firearms (which has me discharged from the Army after 11 years) there was no evidence that abuse ever took place, but simply that as a veteran trailed to use a weapon and this makes me a "danger". Its criminal the freedom that family court judges have to ruin a man's life. And here in the US your drivers license can be taken if you don't pay, and it won't be returned until 3 on time payments have been made. Good luck to you!

Well Said man. One of my buddies in the army was destroyed by the British Child Support Services. They took every penny he earned in the army, heck we would lend him money to buy toiletries. Just disgusting how guys get treated regardless of it they are in the wrong.

[paulcoote]

Absolutely nailed it. Especially at 2 minute mark. Men have been forgotten.

[chrislopez]

It's the same here in the United states it's bull and the sad truth is that no one gives a shit ..

[CruisinVT]

Thank you Daniel. The system takes a heartbreaking situation and makes it impossible. I've been living this hell for 9 years

Same stuff happened to me. They use to mess up the reporting of my payment status yearly. The yearly reporting to court for my “missed” child support was embarrassing, belittling and frustrating to say the least. I was never behind and had my son more days in a year and every year from the time his mother and I separated, . I Paid for everything when it came to him. However, they continued to try and break my morale. On one of my yearly false delinquency court visits, I remember them telling a young father whom lost his job, to live in his car if he couldn’t afford his child support.
