I'm not an attorney and this is not legal advice.

Class action lawsuits may be an appropriate action to take for fathers who face discrimination from child support agencies on the basis of sex, and their children who also suffer from the same discrimination. This document examines class certification, the first step in a class action lawsuit.

Both Part A and Part B must be satisfied. Let's look at Part A.

(a) Prerequisites. One or more members of a class may sue or be sued as representative parties on behalf of all members only if:

(1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable;

A child support agency which has made a practice of sex based discrimination has thousands to hundreds of thousands of potential victims.

(2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class;

The question of law or fact common to the class is any related to the civil rights of fathers under Title IV-D.

For example, manipulation of the child support formula when fathers have custody.

(2)There shall be a rebuttable presumption, in any judicial or administrative proceeding for the award of child support, that the amount of the award which would result from the application of such guidelines is the correct amount of child support to be awarded. A written finding or specific finding on the record that the application of the guidelines would be unjust or inappropriate in a particular case, as determined under criteria established by the State, shall be sufficient to rebut the presumption in that case.

42 U.S. Code § 667 - State guidelines for child support awards

Preferential treatment of moms enforcing parenting time for moms, or misuse of grants for access and visitation in a sexist manner:

42 U.S. Code § 669b - Grants to States for access and visitation programs

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/669b

Continuing with the rule:

(3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class; and

This would depend on the parties involved.

(4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class.

This would depend on the parties involved.

Now for Part B only one aspect is required. I'm going to focus on the second one:

(2) the party opposing the class has acted or refused to act on grounds that apply generally to the class, so that final injunctive relief or corresponding declaratory relief is appropriate respecting the class as a whole; or

Let's look at injunctive relief:

Injunctive relief

Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction, is a remedy which restrains a party from doing certain acts or requires a party to act in a certain way. It is generally only available when there is no other remedy at law and irreparable harm will result if the relief is not granted. The purpose of this form of relief is to prevent future wrong. Such orders, when issued before a judgement, are known as preliminary injunctions that can be punished as contempt if not obeyed. Due to its coercive force, a grant of injunctive relief is subject to immediate review by an appellate court. The standard for review is an abuse of discretion. As such, an injunctive relief will be overturned if the appellate court finds that the trial court issued the relief based on an misapplication of the law or an erroneous factual finding.

One type of injunctive relief is a prohibition against sexist discrimination or fraud in child support calculation or parenting time enforcement. The court could order the child support agency to submit reports demonstrating that it is not acting in a discriminatory manner, and hold the agency in contempt if it fails to do so.

This article summarized some basic information regarding the first step of class action lawsuits, class certification, with respect to father's rights when dealing with alleged discrimination in child support and parenting time agencies.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for justice.
