CraziestOzzy =Deadbeat Dad loser

As is typical for the website familylawewebguide.com.au another deadbeat dad posts looking for advice to conquer the Child Support system. Luckily there are people like MIKET only too willing to help the losers out. The user named CraziestOzzy recently posted this to familylawwebguide on the subject of non payment of Child support:

I will keep to the facts...1) I am required to maintenance each month to the CSA.2) I am not getting any money from any source to pay the money I am required to pay each month to the CSA. I have been challenged by CSA that it is impossible for anyone to live with no money, but I have told them I have sought employment to no avail and cannot earn Social Security as my spouse is over the ceiling set by Centrelink ...so my spouse supports me by feeding me and giving me a roof over my head.3) I have been challenged by the CSA as to why my spouse will not make any payments on my behalf...I am in a defacto relationship and my spouse has been supporting me (as mentioned) and refuses to pay maintenance as she is not compensated by the government in any way for doing so.4) As a result of the above, I am in debt to CSA of about $500 and it is increasing each month by the minimum monthly required payment of about $50. The total debt thus far has been incurred while I have been receiving no money but yet still expected to pay due to this legislation.5) I have no qualifications that would make me an attractive prospect to an employer.6) I have spent the last eight years off and on study at university in the hope of getting a decent job, but have had to finally withdraw due to health reasons.7) I spent six years in the army as a dental nurse but that has proven to be not enough to gain employment to raise money...I have come to the same conclusion as my father who experienced similar years ago...too old to work for someone and not physically fit to be competitive against other applicants.8) My partner and I came to the conclusion early this year that I should work in a joint venture with her as a photographer...a home business, self employed scenario.9) We did just that and through purchasing cheap second hand equipment off Ebay with her money, got a camera and the minimum required to get started.10) To this day we have sought customers through advertising pamphlets, refering people to our business website and to this day have got no customers. We cannot afford to advertise in the yellow pages or pay for advertising at the moment and have recently closed our business website of about four months old as it was not bringing in customers and costing her too much.11) Our next business step (as set out from the beginning by us as to the steps to take to get customers should our initial plan fail) is to get a physical portfolio consisting of prints, where I can do a door knock and show businesses what I have to offer or can do. She is not getting enough money to pay for more than one print a fortnight...I need at least 20 to having something respectable and will obviously have to wait a few months to reach that aim.12) I have been contacted by CSA today asking me when am I am going to pay this debt of $500 off...I have replied they will either have to wait for our business to get off the ground or wait until the mango season starts in a few months where they will be guaranteed money at least then.13) They have told me on the phone that they will refer my situation to debt collection where they will seize my jointly owned business assetts as I refuse to pay. That is not true...I repeatably corrected the persons ( I spoke to three during the day) and told them that I am physically unable to pay and to please stop accusing me of refusing to pay.SUmmary: I am at a loss how the CSA can seize assetss (albeit not worth a great deal) purchased by my spouse over the year for a jointly owned business ( for the sole purpose of me getting an income) and wreck any future plans or prospects for me getting a wage of some description where I could make eventually steady payments to CSA...just because "they are required by legislation" to settle the current debt now raher than wait a few months where I am certain of getting money from seasonal work at least.The fact this debt ( and future debt if I dont get a job or earn money) has entirely been raised based on "new" legislation that ignores the fact that I am not getting money from any source to meet the minimum monthly payment I have been told by government to pay is blatantly rediculous and a source of much bemusal and stress I can currently do without due to my current medical condition.
EDIT :I failed to mention that after a few months of no money comming in from our new business venture, I started to look for work on "career one" website and got only two interviews and no work. My recent job application was two weeks ago and had interview with local service station as they advertised for job...a young girl got the job. Also CSA were constantly hassling every TWO weeks without fail upto about two months ago and asking am I getting money to pay the debt...and going through the usual stuff...no-one can live with no money, my spouse should pay the money I owe etc.. It is of interest that the CSA settled on the idea about two months ago that they were "happy" I had started a new business venture and were "happy" to wait until I get some money in...I too was "happy" with the arrangement and the phone calls stopped... until today when out of the blue I am told to cough up $500 and after I said I have not got the money but in the next few months I will, they throw without warning that are referring the matter to debt collection who will seize my only assets...that of the joint venture business...I get more courtesy out of finance companies (and some warning)

We respond as follows and like CraziestOzzy will stick to the facts as well:

1. Just who do you expect to support your children then CraziestOzzy? Your ex? The government? You breed them you feed them!
2.Your trail is all over the internet and it doesn't appear that you have too many health issues that would stop you working. You can manage to travel vast distances, spend hours crouched over subjects to photograph, spend hours on the internet socialising and gambling.
3. If your current partner took you on willingly and is content to provide your basic expenses then she should also take on your responsibility to feed your children. It is part of the package.
4.You're not expected to pay CS due to the legislation, you're expected to pay child support to provide for the children you sired. man up!
5. 41 is not too old so stop using it as an excuse to bludge.
6. There are plenty of jobs available in your area Glenn.

7. Take what you spend on Online Gambling and send to the CSA to support your children.
8. If we could find out so much about you by doing a cursory check on the internet then the CSA can too.
9.It is losers like you that give all fathers a bad name.
