Hi everyone and welcome. I am a custodial parent living in the state of California who is willing to help other custodial parents get the information needed to help and get the Child Support that their child(ren) need and are entitled to. The child support system is better then what it used to be when I first started trying to get child support for my two children back in 1991, but there are still many more changes that need to be made, the custodial parents need to be heard and we are willing to help in changing the laws and legislature that is already in place. BOTH BIOLOGICAL PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE for the upbringing of their child(ren), BOTH FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY.
I am also going state by state and getting the county information, legal informational links, the states most wanted parents for not paying their court ordered child support, articles, petitions, for each state to help the other custodial parents who do not live in California. Please visit the State/Counties tab for the latest information on your Child Support Office nearest you, and the Info/articles/petition tab for more helpful links.
A little about the name of the site Fakeford Stefven Get Child Support. I got the idea to get involved with helping get the word out about Child Support issues from Michele Watson who ran the Fakeford.com website. She was so helpful and supportive when I decided to reopen my own case back up, that I asked her if I could use her site name but add something more, like the names of my children. My oldest is Stefanie, age 22, and my youngest is Steven, age 18. I am very excited to be helping custodial parents get the child support that their children deserve. That is why I have incorporated the two names and came up with Fakeford Stefven after the two most important people in my life, my children. My name is Sharon Johnson and I have physical, legal custody of both of my children. Their biological father ihas never been in the picture when it comes to raising the children. The children are raised by myself and my husband of 11 years, Gary. The purpose of my site is to help other custodial parents be able to get the child support that their child(ren) deserve.
I too was once on Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in the state of California, where I currently reside with my two children and my current husband. From 1991-1996 I was on the system. I am a firm believer that you need to work hard to be able to get off of the roller coaster ride that the Department of Social Services can put you through. Hard work and determination is what it takes to get you off of the Welfare system. It took me 4 years to earn my degree in Accounting, but all of the hard work was worth it.
“My mom is my biggest hero." This is on my daughters MySpace bio. My son tells me every day how much he loves. I do make my far share of mistakes and I am sure that I will continue to, after all we are all only human.
The biggest obstacle that I have had since March 31, 2004 is obtaining child support from my children’s biological father. It has been even harder because he lives out of state and refuses to comply with court orders or court instructions or anything. He is currently not employed and living in Florida. Since March 31, 2004 he has gone from job to job and doesn't stay employed for more then 4-5 months at a time. Once Child Support catches up with him he quits. What I hope to accomplish with the web site is to hold the non-custodial parent accountable for taking care of his/her responsibilities and to empower the custodial parents with the information necessary to get them the financial/emotional support that their child(ren) deserve and are entitled too.
I have a lot of information on this site, and information for each state too. If I can help only one person out there, then I feel that all the work that I have put into this site will be worth it.
Please remember that I am NOT A LAWYER nor can I give legal advise, but I can point you in the right direction. The court system is set up for a custodial parent who can't afford an attorney to fail, or hit one of those many road bumps along the road, and even thought the elected officials say that they are for the children's best interests, in the end the custodial parent is the one who usually finds out the information of the non-custodial parent and has to pass it along to the Child Support Division, then you have to keep on calling to make sure that they are working on your case.
Remember to keep up you spirits, and when you hit an obstacle, learn from it, then do something about it.
