[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a garnishee solves a few problems.   There's always proof support was paid, for one thing.  Take it off the cheque, deposit it in the other parent's account.  The divorced parents don't need to discuss money.  Ideally.

My ex was one who went with unemployed/underemployed.  There is no fix for that.[/quote]

I agree that it does remove the need to discuss money, but it is (in my opinion) unfair to the paying parent to have this level of interference without allowing that parent the opportunity to demonstrate that they can and will pay their child support on time. If garnishment becomes a requirement, then I think it is only fair that the receiving parent be required to document how they are spending the child support dollars--after all, why should they get the benefit of the doubt, but the child support paying parent doesn't?

I do agree that more should be done about parents who don't pay and those who are deliberately under/unemployed.[/quote]

I don't see it as a punishment if it's how things are done for everyone.  [/quote]
