For their sponsorship of Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox Sucker's www.paykids.com his Paykids Foundation, boycott the listed sponsors, including Art Van Furniture, Meijer Stores, Michigan State Medical Society (warning, the MSMS website does not like to let you out when you click the back button), SBC Communications, and Michigan Health and Hospital Association and tell them why you are boycotting them!  Go to the Michigan Enemies of Freedom Page and read letters by Stan Rains and Terry Lear for more information as to why, and read Domino's Pizza, Inc.'s letter to me in response to my concerns about PayKid's use of Domino's Pizza gift certificates as a prize in their loathsome Billboard contest, which was CANCELLED!!

    Not to be outdone, we are announcing our own billboard contest!

The Family Court of Delaware imposes and enforces child support

The Division of Child Support Enforcement of the Health and Social Services enforces child support, including referral for contempt proceedings.

I wonder if Delaware will bring back the whipping post to punish noncustodial parents who are unable to keep up with their support orders?

 

Delaware Code

    Title 10 Courts and Judicial Procedure

    Title 11 Crimes and Criminal Procedure

        Part 1 Chapter 5 Subchapter V Subpart A offenses relating to children Includes 11-§1113(b) which defines failure to comply with a support order to be criminal nonsupport.  11-§1113(d) reads:

    (d) In any prosecution for criminal non-support or aggravated criminal non-support, it is an affirmative defense that the accused was unable to pay or provide support, but the accused's inability to pay or provide support must be the result of circumstances over which he or she had no control. Unemployment or underemployment with justifiable excuse shall constitute a defense to any prosecution for criminal non-support or aggravated criminal non-support. Justifiable excuse may be established where the accused has been involuntarily terminated from his or her employment or otherwise had his or her income involuntarily reduced and is diligently and in good faith seeking reasonably appropriate employment opportunities under all the circumstances or pursuing self-employment.

    And where there is the absence of the defense of diligently and in good faith seeking employment or pursuing self employment, then the statute defines a crime in violation of the 13th Amendment and is declared null and void by 42 U.S.C. §1994.  Any prosecution for violation of this statute is the crime defined by 18 U.S.C. §1581.  The presence of this statute on the Delaware books renders all support orders in this state null and void as peonage.

    Title 13 Domestic Relations

    We don't need no stinking 13th Amendment Due process, equal protection? Nice suggestions, but lets get real!
