I hadn't collected child support in years from the father of my four children. He had made the statement to friends and family that it was his right NOT to pay and that God would never make him pay child support ... Well, God might not have forced him to support his children but SupportKids and the glorious state of Texas sure did!
I hear that SupportKids are rough, or that's what my Ex told my kids ... "with tears in his voice". The kids say that they call him weekly to ask for money and they call him a deadbeat and it hurts his feelings ... I had to laugh ... I'd have paid to listen in on those phone calls! I don't know if it's true or if the Ex just soups it up for sympathy.
I smile when I think of the stories my kids have told me ... I laugh every time I get a check in the mail ... If you are sick of fighting with bureaucrats ... You might want to call SupportKids at 1-800-691-KIDS or go to SupportKids.Com.
It might be the best thing you ever did. Here is some information from the SupportKids Site:
Living our Mission, Purpose and Vision
Our mission, purpose and vision are fundamental to our success. They are the foundation of the company. They inspire our vision of the future, business strategies, decisions, actions and behaviors. To reflect our role as an industry leader and to focus our efforts on the opportunities ahead, we have embraced the following:
Our mission is to make a difference for families.
Our purpose is to collect child support.
Our vision is to be part of the solution to the national
problem of unpaid child support.
The way it ought to be...
As soon as your court order is established, you begin to receive child support payments from your ex. And, if payments are missed once in awhile, state laws for child support direct you to speak with your caseworker who immediately gets on the case to make sure that payments resume.
The way it often is ...
You have a court order for support. You've waited for years to get the child support payments you are legally entitled to. You don't get any help or answers from your caseworker at the state, even though it is mandated by state laws for child support. It feels like dead beat parents have more rights than you or your child.
The definition of a deadbeat dad or deadbeat mom: Not fulfilling one's obligations or paying one's debts. We can help!
That's why our clients choose SupportKids.
Tired of the runaround and serious about getting results - our clients turn to Supportkids to get what they are owed.
We focus only on child support collection. We put money in households that were receiving little, if any, support. Unlike the government, we don't have to exhaust our resources on establishing paternity or court orders. The government just can't keep up with the millions of child support cases they are assigned. That's one of the reasons why so many parents spend years without child support.
How do we work with state laws for child support to achieve success? We are:
Determined
When it comes to enforcement, we fight to get you the child support payments that you are owed.
As a private company, we are determined to be successful for you. We are not given federal funding like government agencies, so we are strictly dependent on getting results. We aren't intimidated by or overly sympathetic to deadbeat parents.
If we don't succeed, we don't stay in business. It's that simple.
Involved
We often have clients tell us that one of the best things about coming to Supportkids is that they feel like a human being, not just a number. We are highly involved with every aspect of your case, so that we can always provide answers to your questions.
Updates are available 24 hours a day/7 days a week online or by telephone. You know what's happening with your case and you're informed of our progress.
Experts
In 1991, our founder, Casey Hoffman, established what would become the leading private child support company in the country. Prior to this important milestone, Casey led the largest state program in the country, which gave him an insider's perspective on state laws for child support. He saw government offices across the country overwhelmed by a backlog of cases and personnel shortages. Ultimately, he knew that the government could not solve his problem alone. There needed to be another solution.
Supportkids was founded on the premise that parents need options for effective enforcement of their court order. We pioneered the private collection of child support payments and continue to be the leader in the industry today.
Our level of expertise does make a difference.
Support
Many of the people working on your case are former clients who understand the difference reliable child support payments can make for a family.
We take our jobs personally because we know firsthand the struggle and hardship that millions of families endure and the havoc not receiving support can cause. We listen. We communicate. We take action.
If you have a court order for child support payments, contact us. You'll get answers.

By the way, if you are a mom or a dad who didn't support your children and you are offended by the word DEADBEAT, Southerners have an old saying that applies ... HURT DOGS HOWL!
If I hit a nerve ... If you are worried that your EX might find out about SupportKids and come after you, you SHOULD worry. Laws are getting stronger everyday to force absent parents to support their children.
Don't wait for the law to catch up to you! Sit down and write a check today. Don't you think it's about time you lived up to your commitments?
