Constitutional Sense 101:
All child support agencies are administrative agencies that gain jurisdiction from your marriage license and child’s birth certificate that are filed with the State. These agencies then complete their jurisdictional authority by virtue of actual contracts, i.e. “Consent Judgments,” “Payment Schedules,” etc. These contracts are initiated by a parent who applies for child support through the agency, who in turn sends you a letter -appearing to be a court order- telling you to appear at a certain court on a certain date. However, this letter is merely a request for you to appear and consent to their authority to collect child support, and your refusal to attend can never be criminalized or used against you in any way. If you choose to appear at said court, you will not find a judge, but rather agency workers who ask for your income information, then present you with a “consent judgment”whereby you “agree” to pay a certain amount of monthly support to the agency. If you resist signing, the agency employee will use intimidation tactics such as holding you in “contempt,” followed by threats of bank levees or imprisonment. Accordingly, you are effectively coerced, under duress, to sign the judgment that gives the appearance of your consent thereto. The alleged “consent judgment” is then brought before a judge and signed into law as a judgment of the court, and wah-lah … you’re now under the authority of an agency that will suspend your drivers license, revoke your passport (confine you within the USA), garnish your wages, freeze your assets without a warrant, and even put you in jail if you fail to make these payments. And the worst part is, the agency gets a percentage of everything it collects, in addition to incentive payments for taking your child through “Title IV-D” of the Social Security Act. As such, these agencies are not operating with tax revenue, but are, in fact, for-profit centers that mainly support themselves with money they earn. Can you say unlawful State enrichment and abridgment of rights through financially motivated government agencies???
