It's fact. You HAVE to be in arrears at least $x amount and/or a certain amount (varies by jurisdiction) of time for them to even put a warrant out for your arrest.
After allowing plenty of time and chances to pay willingly, they will then garnish wages and tax refunds. Then they will threaten to take away your drivers license and possibly any professional license you have. If you still don't comply THEN you might get arrested. It's the absolute last resort. Your bail will be your arrears, or a percent of it.
One of the principles this country was founded on was not to incarcerate people for being in debt, remember?
Once again, how can one pay a debt if one is imprisoned? There has to be a more intelligent solution to this problem. Prison just doesn't solve it at all.
Putting them to work on the infrastructure and having the majority of their pay going toward the debt would make a lot more sense than a punitive prison sentence.
They aren't incarcerated for debt. They are incarcerated for defying a court order, and defying it for so long it's ridiculous. Most of these deadbeats are just refusing to pay, not unable to.
She didn't say it "made sense". She did say it was fact. Which it is.
You don't seem to understand that there are large groups of people that no matter what motivation they are given, they will still refuse to do anything productive or contribute to society.
You are an idiot. You base everything you comment about on this website from your own opinion or some outdated set of narrow minded viewpoints, basically showing your age.
Prison IS a last resort for deadbeat dads, they garnish salaries, they ruin credit, the system gives them plenty of chances to be responsible. Its just deadbeat dads are bums and don't care. Most of them actually willingly lose jobs because the courts garnish so much of their salary to go to a kid they feel isn't their "responsibility".

Why do you care so much about what others do? Just mind your own little bit of the world and let others do the same. We'd all be a lot better off.

Because I don't want to support people who choose that sort of lifestyle.
