At the end of November, Fathers & Families submitted a hard-hitting, 18 page report calling for an overhaul of the Child Support Guidelines. You can read our full report here.

When you read this report, you will understand the amount of work it required. The child support battle is not over. In fact, it is just beginning.

Your gift will make it possible to fight this battle to a successful conclusion. Please click here to make your gift right now.

In our report, we made 15 recommendations. Here are some of the more important ones.

And while you are at it, please click here to make an end-of-year gift. Even if you have given earlier this year, please give again now.

Our child support recommendations will be brutally attacked. Opponents will say we do not care for our children, that we will not support them. Baloney. We will be attacked by the taxpayer-supported domestic violence attorneys; by the taxpayer- supported legal aid agencies; by newspaper columnists who have never done a child support calculation; by self-interested bureaucrats at the Department of Revenue; and by ideologues who control the family law sections of the bar associations.

Only Fathers & Families’ hard work and common sense will be there to represent you. Isn’t it worth $100 to you to have this battle fought on your behalf? Wouldn’t you like to have another $2,000 per year in your pocket that you could spend as you wish on your children, rather than on your ex’s new draperies? We did it in 2002, and we can do it again.

As Winston Churchill said, “Give us the tools and we will finish the job!”
