They say God’s got a sense of humor. If that’s the case, then this qualifies as that which is uproariously hilarious.
Many of our client workers, as well as our workers to come to us off the street, carry a child support order that’s tagged onto their Social Security numbers. The mothers of their children, obviously, need the money, or else the orders and requests wouldn’t land with us. I could delegate the handling of these, but I don’t and I won’t. Every Thursday is my day to grab the week’s wad of these things and faithfully record the information. It’s sad, but not the ‘sad’ I spout off all the time relative of our decay as a society. It’s sad because the guys typically average less than $200/week (if they are re-entry parolees) and no more than, say, $230-250 a week if they’re in a homeless shelter trying to claw out of. Illinois is lollipop stuff compared to MO. Michigan and Arkansas is more like KS, NE, the Dakotas, and OK – carefully thought out and continually reviewed chart programs that I sure wish other states would follow. MO and OHIO stuff, I still maintain, was derived and devised by judges who were either 1. smoking crack, 2. tripping on LSD, or most likely, 3. both. It’s eerie that the divorce rate in these two states (’00) is 56% (MO) and 58% (OHIO), when the entire remaining 48 states is (again in ’00) 52% (but one never really knows FL information because Dade County is a highly unique demographic unit model on our continent. I suspect, assuming that there’s 350,000 Cubans and Haitians of Dade’s 1.3 million inhabitants, the rate for Miami is 30%. Tie that in with Florida’s immense (never divorce filing) senior population, FL would (and should) win the National Morality and Sanity award for all time.Anyway, these wage garnishment employer filing forms will keep helping me. I hold each, read the name of the mom and the child(ren), and appear to my employees that I’m slow or dawdling. I’m neither. I’m growing. Follow this link…
