When I posted, I was thinking that Domino was the noncustodial parent. Her first post could be construed that way.
Maybe I need the remedial instruction (or I should read the whole thread before posting).
This needs to be addressed though:

Hah! Bullshit. I did exactly that. The ex- was claiming costs for daycare. I knew he wasn’t going to daycare after kindergarten because I was picking him up half the time from either his school or at her house. I told CS. CS for daycare absolutely did not stop. I went to court to have it reduced. The ex- produces a letter that says she’s still paying for daycare. I told the court that, although she may be paying for it, my son isn’t utilizing it. She tells the court that she wants to keep paying for daycare in case she needs it from time to time, and it’s hard to find good daycare. The Court agrees with her.
Want some other stories?
My ex- enrolled my son in karate classes, and sends me a bill for half of the costs (of course, she scheduled them on days that I would have him). The classes go on for a while, and my son decides he doesn’t like them. He wants to quit. She says he needs them for a condition called “hypotonia.” I research it and find out what hypotonia means, and that the real reason she’s forcing him to go is because he refused to do the mile run at school. I tell her I won’t pay. She goes to some quack doctor who writes one word on a prescription pad: Karate. I tell her I still won’t pay. We go to court over it. The court says I have to pay, but only if she takes him to class on days I don’t have him. I disregard the court’s order and still refuse to pay. CS enforcement gets involved and says I have to pay. I get a statement from the karate school that says she hasn’t ever brought him to class since the court hearing. The CS scumbag still tries to get me to pay because there’ “an order in effect.” I submit the letter along with another motion to the court to have their previous order cancelled. Finally, it is.
Then there’s the current situation where I got laid off. Regular support was deducted from my severance pay as well as from unemployment when that kicked in. There’s no work available in the travel industry so I start training in another field. The ex- (unexplicably) agrees to lower child support while I’m in school. Things are getting better, I think. Out of the blue, she says that she wants regular child support again (funny–her husband just bought a new boat). Unemployment has run out, and I’ve taken out two student loans. CS says “student loans are income” and raises child support back up. I say that, clearly, loans can’t be considered income because I have to pay them back. CS says I can deduct the amount of the repayments when I go back to work.
WTF? They can base a whole year’s support on the total amount I took out at the time I take out the loan, but I can only deduct the payment amounts when I pay them back? That’s brilliant.
And, as far as the self-serving claims of:
I would submit that the costs of maintaining you thickheaded cocksuckers in your overpaid, overstaffed jobs far outweighs the costs you incur in collecting said monies. I would submit that automatic payroll deduction covers a huge percentage of the actual amount collected, and, therefore, the money you waste in tracking down some prick who isn’t paying his $41 per week would be much better spent if we simply fired you human wood ticks and divided your paychecks among the kids that needed the money.
You fucking lamprey eel on the teat of humanity, quit lying through your teeth.
