When Will They Start Mandatory Drug Testing for Women Getting Child Support?
Question by Stupid Grandpa Tricks: When will they start mandatory drug testing for Women getting Child Support?
So sick of all the stories of how women ( and some men ) who get really good child support payments that pay ALL their bills and extras are always addicted to drugs. I even know a man in Florida who is drug addicted and the system is his co-dependent. I say this because the courts awarded him the kid and the ex pays BIG child support thus allowing him to not work and pursue his full time drug addiction.We see this with movie stars all the time. We just don’t here about it as much with family court being a closed court and child support is not considered a tax payer funded system ( although it really is if you think about it) who pays judges and child support agencies-? Taxpayers.
Welfare upsets the “taxpayers” so we NOW drug test. Why not test all those receiving child support entitlement ?

Answer by wizjp
uh…never. Child support is not public money. At least not in the US. It’s money paid from one parent to another thru a support agency

The reason they don’t is because people don’t believe children should be punished for the mistakes of their parents. Hope this helps.
Welfare in my state does not Drug Test, In fact being an addict is grounds for receiving welfare in my state.
HOWEVER, Aid to Dependent Children is paid by welfare and is tax payer supported when the person who is supposed to pay the child support fails to pay. The state then goes after that person for the amount it is costing the state.
Family court is funded by the court fees and cost each person pays when bringing a case to court. It is Criminal Court that is funded by tax payers.
As for drug testing, it is probably viewed the same as it is in custody hearings. Having illegal drugs around is no different than having prescription narcotics around when a person is ill or injured, so it has no affect on who gets custody. Not right, because as you state, the person receiving the support payments use them for drugs, not supporting the child.
Stupid question grumpy grandpa.
Child Support is not Welfare. I pay child support out of my income, not my taxes. It’s the lazy arsed dead beats who have three illegitimate kids living in public housing, getting food stamps and WIC who need to be drug tested. I’d say a good 30 to 50% of those receiving public assistance would be denied just on those grounds alone. That’s almost 2.5 Billion dollars saved in tax expenses every year. I’m a parent who was half responsible for giving birth to my son. Why should my ex-wife be completely responsible for providing support for our child? Not exactly fair is it? The reason we have Child Support agencies and have to have judges drag dead beat mothers and fathers into court is because most of you won’t pay if you’re not forced to. If you did the right thing up front there would be no need. If you are legally divorced from your spouse then you have no rights when it comes to what he or she does – You can sue if you think there is child neglect or abuse but otherwise, shut up and pay your fair share. As for the example you used about a guy getting child support having no job and is addicted to drugs getting the kids and others KNOW about this – I have a hard time believing that! DSS would be involved then and remove the child from the home even without due process. All it would take is one phone call. As far as “movie stars” – Which movie star are you talking about? And who cares – That’s not “real” life anyway.
