   Perhaps Viola Trevino can be indicted for peonage as she was for lying on her income tax form. Of course, when funding is dependent upon creating and enforcing support orders, there is no natural incentive to look at facts or pay attention to that pesky United States Constitution.

   During my wife’s divorce, she called me a deadbeat dad – Motion for Contempt of Court. I ignored all of them because – I was current and had copies of cancelled checks. However, the State and County report was always inaccurate (even today).

   After the divorce was final it took be eight months and a half a dozen visits to get the county’s report near-accurate (off by a few hundred dollars, not off $24,000).

   I instructed the judge that my wife, my wife’s attorney, my attorney, and the child support supervisor clerk refused to look at a dozen cancelled checks.

   After the judge suggested that he was going to Order me in arrears, I suggested that he order the Clerk to sit with me to look at my cancelled checks – he did this reluctantly.

   I eventually received 95% of the credits due to me.

   After this experience I do not trust that another father is a deadbeat based on government reports or he testimony of the complaining wife, I suddenly believe I’m from Missouri – “show me.”

   I considered starting a business to help men get the accounting straight from my experience.

   The term ‘deadbead dad’ should be seen as bigotry. Why should any man be forced to finance any woman’s lifestyle choices? If she doesn’t ‘need’ him (you go grrrlll!), she shouldn’t expect him to be forced to support her. Let her have her ‘choices’, but let them be at her expense, not his. I agree with Ayn Rand: every man is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others.

   Women are victims, like the slaves 150 years ago, so men will pay for their freedom.
