Federal Judge Orders Defendants to Reply to Lawsuit that asserts New York
State's Income-Based Child Support Laws are Unconstitutional


A Federal District Court issued an order on May 7th, 2004 requiring the
defendants to answer the first federal complaint accepted by a U.S. federal
district court pursuant to the invasion of privacy in the express language
of New York's child support statutory scheme. Harold L. Rosenberger of
Highland, New York filed the lawsuit in federal court in the Northern
District of New York. The defendants are the New York Office of Temporary
and Disability Assistance (OTDA) and Ulster County Family Court.

Mr. Rosenberger's suit asserts that the Right to Privacy guarantees
parents - married, single or divorced - the right to determine how much they
spend for the benefit of their minor children. The State of New York does
not require that married parents living in an intact household with their
minor children spend a certain percentage of their income on their children
and thus, according to the lawsuit, the State cannot hold divorced parents
to a different standard.

Mr. Rosenberger is the founder of the Family Court Reform Party (FCRP),
whose mission is to bring about much needed reform to the New York Family
Court system. His federal complaint can be viewed online at

Bob, didn't you comment on cases like this before? Weren't some arguments struck
down citing the state's compelling interest in children of divorce who were
described as something of an "at risk" group? If not, these cases bear watching
(and hoping).
