Thats just beautiful. Throw dad in jail because the support payements are too high. Now he loses his job because he's not around for six months and has to go on welfare. So now the support payments just stop entirely. They are based on income, and your income just dropped to zero.

A friend of mine went through the whole wife / kid / divorce thing. Basically she kept complaining , and got a free lawyer, and he had to pay for his , and even though the complaints had no basis he faced bankruptcy just from having to pay his lawyer over and over and over.

It was really messy and he decided she wasn't getting a dime. He deliberately got himself fired and went straight to welfare. Then he didn't have to pay because he had nothing.

This law just automates that process. Six months in a minimum security jail (you didn't actually hit anyone right ? Just a little short on cash, they aint gonna put you in with the gangsters) and then straight to welfare because you have no dough ...

The intention of this law is to make life easier on the wife who supports the kid. The result is to enrich the lawyers while putting both wife and husband on welfare. Stupid stupid stupid.
