Child support/credit
I wonder why the courts don't report a persons child support payments, or lack of, to the Credit Bureau.
It would be supportive of those doing the right thing and at the same time put pressure on some of the Deadbeats.

Hummm good point, I know you can put a lein on someone's property for child support but I don't think the state reports it on credit.
My ex lost his license due to non payment but he got smart and gets a high tax return every year the IRS send it to me for Back child support and it catches him up for the year, but his credit sucks already so I don't think he would even give a crap.
Most deadbeats don't care about credit anyways.

There isn't enough penalties for deadbeats who don't pay their child support payments, I agree.
The hardest part is when a woman ends up alone with her kids all of a sudden. she goes on assistance. they make her take the kid's fathr to court to settle for child support. she gets awarded the monthly support payments. assistance will deduct that whole amount off her monthly cheque regardless if he makes the payment or not. If he chooses not to make the payments, then it'sup to the woman again to take him back to court to see if there isn't anything more that can be done about it.
They do however take the whole payments due off the income tax refund (if any refund at all) and pay that to the mother of the children. But that doesn't help her all year until it's tax time.
then you have the men who will work under the table to avoid child support payments. they collect welfare cheques so that way they can't be liable to pay any child support because they're on assistance.
My brother in law (the one who's a real low life) has never paid a penny of child support to any of his 3 kids; the oldest is 15. When we had his youngest 2 living with us, he paid us nothing. the mother gave us money and new clothes for them constantly.
I think there should be tougher laws with this sort of thing. They should have to go to jail and pay all that they owe to the mother of their children.
This applies to mothers who left their children for the dad to raise as well.

I hope the state goes after Noah's father for medical bills. He was in ICU plus air lifted to 2 hospitals 2 years ago, his father was "supposed" to cover his med bills by court order but when he was sick Noah had no insurance. SO his bills came to 1.2 MILLIOn dollors and still continuing to run up, the state pay's but I hope they try to garnish his wages for some of it.

If he owes the state, they should garnish his wages for sure! is he court ordered to pay a percentage of that? That's really high. the state shuld cover parts of that.
If you were living here, you'd be getting a disability for noah every month and your med bills would be covered by the ontario health.
My brother has an autistic daughter (she's 4 now) and they get a monthly disability cheque from the government of 400.00/month plus she gets a 200.00/month diaper allowance because she's still wearing them because of her disability. On top of that we all get a child tax credit every month for our kids.
it must be so tough to have to pay med bills! i'm so happy i'm canadian!

I hate deadbeat dads, they make it a muddled picture for those of us dads who actually care for their kids and pay child support. I not only pay that, but I put extra toward her dance, soccer and extra curricular activities.

dad's like you are to be commended. That's the way it should be for all kids and the child support paying parent.

EXACTLY! There are many laws in force to try to force a man to pay child support....BUT....if he doesn't care about losing his license, or doing a little jail time, or keep a regular job, have any assets....not cares about his credit....there is little you can do. It becomes an endless battle where the mother becomes burdened with legal bills she can't afford.
I can't imagine why a man WOULDN'T want to pay his child support...then again....I should've thought of that before I spawned with an a$$clown.
It comes down to one thing though.....by avoiding payment....they avoid the time they could be spending with their kids. He missed it all....and the pleasure has been all mine.

The only reason I can see WHY a man shouldn't/ doesn't pay child support is when the mother is spiteful adn refuses to let the father see or parent the child. I have seen many ladies do this and in the long run the child loses

In Florida....you can't refuse a man visitations...even if he owes back child support. Usually, the guy just stays out of the picture on his own. I'm actually very sorry my kids don't have open communications with their Dad. It's a great loss.

it's like that here too. a father has the total right to have visitation with his child regardless if he pays child support or not. These woman that try and keep their kids away from their father are extremely spiteful (unless there's abuse of any kind of course). you'd think they would realize that they're using their kids as pawns! kids have a hard enough time when their parents divorce, the parents should at least make it as amicable as possible so the child doesn't feel like he/she's the pize of a contest.

Going back to the original post though.....
I DO believe if a guy pays his child support...it should go on his credit report. Then, if he's trying to get a loan or fianace a car, people would see he's a responsible guy.
If he DOES NOT pay his child support....it should keep him from being able to get credit....and in some cases...not be able get a job.
There needs to be a public record showing those who pay and those who don't. The Credit Burea is a great one.

I suppose the "problem" here would be the fathers that DO pay.
1st- my son's father sends $ on his own. We have no court agreement- he just *gasp* PAYS TO SUPPORT HIS CHILD!  He would not benefit from this system.
2nd- there should be a positive reflection on credit scores for guys that DO pay (if there is a negative for non payment) - the mothers (or other primary caregivers) would receive no such benefit.
