Dear New York Times:

Your article "Finding Common Ground on Poor Deadbeat Dads," (Ideas and Trends, Feb. 3) presupposes that the commonly used monetary guidelines for child support are correct and fair. They are neither. More than 30 states follow the guidelines of Policy Studies Institute of Colorado, which in Virginia were found indefensible at least to the extent that they misrepresent child care expenses, and which continue in use "because there is nothing better" (quote by panel member). PSI also happens to be in the business of child support collection, which is a conflict of interest. High guidelines mean more deadbeats to collect from. Your article questions none of this, even as it acknowledges the "bureaucratic hunger for a large slice of the child support pie." 

It is wrong to cite injustice only against the poor. The injustice of taking money unfairly exists equally for fathers who manage to keep their heads above water but who fail to garner sympathy as being destitute. They too are having their pockets picked by a system whose "logic overtook the policy." A large part of the child support rubric in America is simply larceny by false pretense, which is a crime against any person, regardless of their means.
