So here it is September 2 and well over 80 of us still have not received our child support from August yet. Let me explain. The guards that work at the Tehachapi prison, who owe monthly child support got their paychecks so they can survive, but their ex-wifes who actually have the children and have to keep the roofs over their heads still have not received anything. The idiots that work at that prison decided last mont to try and save a couple of dollars and send the child support checks over to the state controller through the regular postal system instead of over nighting them like they are supposed to do. So when August 10th came around the state controllers office and the prison's payroll departments phone were ringing off the hooks. They both kept going back and forth blaming it on the other party. WHen in fact it is because the idiots at the prison did not sent them properly. So the state controllers office told the prison to make stop payments on these over 80 checks on August 14, 2009. The prison then started ignoring our phone calls, and not returning phone calls. I did finally get in contact with the payroll manager, who informed me they " were planning" on stopping the payment and redoing them. Well, he told me it was going to happen on August 21, and we should have money by August 26. Of course that didn't happen. Then on August 26 I called again, not the problem has been transfered to another person, and she is very rude and just says I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Sorry, what about how i can't pay my rent or feed my kids, but yet my ex husband who is over $6,000 behind still gets his money and gets to pay his rent. So now as of August 31 the lady in their payroll say that the state controller supposedly received the new check on August 28, and she has confirmation of that. Well I know for a fact she lied yet again, because the state controllers office is closed on Fridays for their furloughs. So now we come to today, we never received any money for August, and now the fathers that owe us money got their money again on Monday, and our September payments are not in either. So apparently this prison has no concern what so ever about how us mothers are going to take care of our children but their guards who owe us money get to take care of them selves. For the guards that are current in their child support orders and who are actually great fathers to their kids I commend you, but as for mine he does neither.
