CHILD SUPPORT INADEQUACY

Please post comments under this topic regarding how we can be proactive in addressing the child support inadequacy problem.

For instance, in Washington State the child support schedule has not been adjusted for inflation since 1991.

In addition, the McCausland case ruled that you can't extrapolate beyond the cap, which is currently $7000. A father I know earns twice that, but only LEGALLY has to pay child support on half his income. And while most of his income used to go to his children, he now LEGALLY gives them 10%.

Our children live in near poverty, while their non-custodial parents are well off. What can we do about these inadequacies?
