I just stumbled across this little gem. Please note that if a father is layed-off, injured, sick, or anything else that takes him out of the workforce, the amount of "child support" (hidden alimony and all) that he falls behind on WILL BE ADDED TO HIS TAXABLE INCOME, over and above what he already earns.

It's common practice for the "family court" judges to "impute" income to a father that he has not earned for the purpose of inflating support awards, but now if these people have their way (and they likely will), the IRS can impute income to fathers and raise his tax bill, while cutting his ex-wife's taxes by the same amount!

How did the old song go??? "Bend over, Johnny. This is your day in court. She gets the kids, the house, the car...you get to pay child support." Now you're going to have income imputed to you by the IRS as well as the judge.

This will cause an immediate fan club of the IRS. I can't believe Chris Cox. He will have done more to make the IRS popular than any demon-rat ever had.

All those mothers, 2/3rds of whom had been the initiatators of the divorce in the first place, mostly over money. These so-called 'wives' who vowed for richer or poorer with their fingers crossed, will love and adore their knight in shining armor, the IRS. Sweet dreams.

Saw Roger's post just after I put this one up, but word about this one needs to get out. Looks like Dads are about to have stuck to them again, all in the name of 'fairness'.

The question:"Why get married?" comes to mind.
