Iowa Enemies
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 Attorney General's Office handles child support enforcement litigation and the Department of Human Services operates the Child Support Specialized Customer Service Unit and the Division of Child Support, Case Management, & Refugees Services.
The Supreme Court of Iowa's web site has a page labeled Families and Children. On this page are links to information on:
Child Support You can perform Moccasins exercise with the Child Support Worksheets, One Child, Two Children, Three Children, Four Children, Five or More Children, on this page and then calculate your income tax as a payer of child support by following the procedures on the Antipeonage Act Website's Moccasins Page. Then determine what you have left to live on after paying child support, income and Social Security taxes. After performing this exercise in pretending to walk a mile in an Iowa noncustodial parent's moccasins, you can also contemplate that Iowa's Supreme Court freely states on this page that failure to comply with the order can lead to contempt proceedings.

Section 598-23A Contempt Proceedings, Activity Governed by License Declared null and void as peonage by 42 U.S.C. §1994, and blatantly so. Requiring proof of employment and community service and other coercive measures to require employment renders every action under this provision is the crime defined by 18 U.S.C. §1581.

Chapter 640 Specific Attachment
Chapter 641 Attachment by State Your taxdollars at work!
Chapter 661 Mandamus Includes what other states call writs of prohibition within definition of IC § 661.1, this might prove useful for you.
Chapter 663 Habeas Corpus You might need this one to plead peonage.
Chapter 663A Wrongful Imprisonment IC § 663A.1 Of course it is!
Title XVI Criminal Code Has some interesting provisions:
Chapter 707B Human Cloning It is one thing to define it as a crime. But once such a human is born, and he or she appears to be healthy, is such a person entitled to equal protection of the laws? The argument that antimiscegenation statutes were justified by the need to prevent the birth of mixed race children was soundly rejected in Loving v. Virginia, (1967) 388 U.S. 1, 18 L. Ed. 2d. 1010, 85 S. Ct. 1817. It is obvious that such a claim of state interest necessarily implies the denial of equal protection to those of mixed race ancestry. Is it not just as obvious that a claim of state interest in the prevention of the birth of cloned humans necessarily implies the denial of equal protect to cloned humans once they are born?
IC §726.5 Criminal Nonsupport. Where applied to failure to comply with a court order of support of spouse or child not residing with or in the custody of the party ordered to pay, declared null and void as peonage by 42 U.S.C. §1994
Chapter 728 Obscenity We don't need no stinking First Amendment in Iowa!
Article I Section 1 of the Iowa Constitution declares inalienable rights of men and women, including the right to acquire, possess, and protect property. Forfeited upon loss of custody of child.
Article I Section 6 of the Iowa Constitution declares that laws of a general nature shall have uniform application. I guess domestic relations laws are not of general nature.
Article I Section 7 of the Iowa Constitution provides for freedom of speech and press, inclduing the right of every person to freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments on all subjects. But some subjects are not included within the phrase "all subjects".
Article I Section 9 of the Iowa Constitution includes the state Due Process Clause. Does not apply to family law. Does it apply to cloned humans?
Article I Section 17 of the Iowa Constitution prohibits excessive fines and bails and cruel and unusual punishments. But does not prohibit excessive child support orders.
Article I Section 19 of the Iowa Constitution prohibits imprisonment for debt except in cases of fraud. I guess child support is a fraud, unless the noncustodial parent is completely penniless and cannot give security and cannot earn money to pay child support while in jail. See below.
Article I Section 23 of the Iowa Constitution prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude.
State ex rel Bissell v. Devore, (Iowa 1938) 281 N.W. 740 was a paternity action wherein the father was ordered imprisoned until he could give security to perform support. The Supreme Court of Iowa found that this was imprisonment for debt because a penniless man cannot give security and he cannot earn money to pay child support while in jail.
Duh.
