Massachusetts Child-Support Guidelines

“I am a divorced mother of two teenage girls, and I went through mediation. I acknowledge the need for my kids to have a strong loving relationship with their father and to be able to visit him in a comfortable home.

“These Massachusetts child-support guidelines are outrageous. If I went through the courts and used their formula, my ex would be living in a shack.”–Erin Johnson

Massachusetts Shared Parenting Campaign

“There is no pain greater on this earth to be told by the court system that you can only see your child every other weekend…
“I was involved in every aspect [of my kids’ lives] you can think of until my relationship with my child’s mother ended. The courts treated me as if I was never a parent at all.”–Fathers & Families supporter Barry Mello
