Edwardsville Fathers Rights

Child support for Edwardsville dads can be a never-ending source of frustration. The time spent with a child has no bearing on how much child support a non-residential parent is required to pay. Thus, fathers rights in Edwardsville, Illinois are lagging.

A non-residential dad pays the same child support percentage as the “visiting” dad paid in the 1980s, when Mom had sole custody and Dad had reasonable visitation. You can be certain that in the 1980s,”visiting” dads spent far less time with their kids than they do today.

A dad pays the same support, regardless of whether he spends 20 percent or 50 percent of the time with his child. This ends up infringing on a dads rights financially.

Kids cost money, and the more time a child spends with his non-residential parent, the more expensive it is. Many dads are hard-pressed to see their children more because they can’t afford the extra costs on top of what they’re already paying. Where’s the equity for Edwardsville fathers rights in that?

Get help with dads rights in Edwardsville, Illinois by arranging a meeting with a Cordell and Cordell mens divorce attorney. Please call 1-866-DADS-LAW.
