Like taxes, child support is a necessary evil, but unfortunately for non-custodial parents who are usually men, the laws and tactics used to enforce child support is just as biased and destructive as the laws used to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes—even worse. Non-custodial parents have been persecuted by the court system since the inception of America and the formation of the universal judicial system. When a court case involves child support, adjudicators have persistently failed to choose common sense and reasonableness over irrationality and unbridled venom. The courts’ broad discretion regarding child support, coupled with criminally biased child support enforcement policies, has created more casualties worldwide than all the historical crime waves combined.

There are no acceptable excuses for non-custodial parents who willingly decide to evade their financial responsibilities as parents, nor is it the intent of this book to make any excuses for them or to provide guidance for further evasion. Family laws are certainly necessary to make sure “deadbeat” parents are held responsible for co-creating a life and providing the basic necessities and resources to sustain that life. However, rather than approaching each child support case or situation objectively, adjudicators have consistently abused their discretion under the “best interest of the child” premise—which has significantly contributed to the systematic manufacturing of “deadbeat dads”. It is this type of abuse that has destroyed bonds between parent and child, driven a great number of non-custodial parents to kill senselessly, or caused parents and children to commit suicide—hence the title of this book—Child Support Kills.
