PA - Court Frees Deadbeat Parents
http://www.wjettv.com/news/default.a...ownews&id=6618
Friday, September 01, 2006 Court Frees Deadbeat Parents Changes in how child support laws are enforced is helping to get dozens of deadbeat parents out of jail early. Attorneys say a ruling by the State Superior Court makes it clear that parents can no longer be sent to jail simply for non-support. Judges will now have to first determine that someone does have the present ability to pay and refuses before making a judgement. Over the last few weeks dozens of support violators have seen early release from the Erie County Prison. Parents fighting the support battle say with violators behind bars they are guaranteed some money with a work release program. Now they fear getting back owed support will be that much harder. |

That's a novelty. Do you have the case name? |

You know, what's most amusing here is that this article (while trying its best to cast doubts about the wisdom of this new law) basically comes out and admits that "dozens" of people were being held in jail for not paying money that they just didn't have in the first place. Why, before this bothersomely "Constitutional" new law, those deadbroke dads could have been put to work as serfs for the state in their "work release programs"!
