In Hobart Australia, the Child Support Agency has reported hundreds of parents living in upscale communities that are hiding their income. Why are they hiding their income? They’ve been hiding their income in order to qualify for the minimum amount for child support.
These parents are paying as little as $6.00 a week, which […]
I offer, without comment, this Q&A column from South Carolina’s State newspaper, in which a 70-year-old couple ask how to handle their son defaulting on a $40,000 loan. Apparently, he needed the moolah “to pay his past due child support, his lawyer, his former wife’s alimony, and to keep him out of jail.” Yep, he […]
Meet Phillip Dale Williams, better known to kids in Virginia and beyond as Douglas “Dude” Cigarette. His three wives known him by another name: “asshole”. Fourth wife Lashawn Stevenson suspected something was up when her hubby received child support notices in the mail. (Yeah, that’d tip me off too.) When pressed by his wife and, […]
Poor Robert Croak Jr. He probably thought he was being clever when he manipulated his work schedule to avoid paying an ass-ton of funds in child support. A nuclear power plant specialist by trade, Croak is unemployed for large periods of time as a matter of course. But the Massachusetts Courts of Appeals this week […]
Recently we were witness to a horrible tragedy in Denver, Colorado, when a man named Lawrence Trujillo drove drunk through a red light and killed a mother and her two children. The incident has led people to ask: what kind of man is Lawrence Trujillo?
Answers to that question are leaking in…and they’re not good. Trujillo […]
Wow. Just…wow. How do you let things get so bad that you owe over $2 mil in child support? That’s the situation faced by East Brunswick, New Jersey dermatologist Dr. Sandy Milgraum, who was rounded up along with 41 other parents this week in a Middlesex County child support sting. Milgraum is apparently well to […]
You know, stories involving non-payment of support don’t get me as riled as they used to. Between moms watching their babies die and dads slipping their kids rat poison, owing back child support seems like such a minor crime.
But of course, that’s the jaded blogger’s perspective. To a parent struggling to keep his or her […]
Welcome to Parents Behaving Dumbly, a new feature devoted to stupid criminals who really ought to know better. The inaugural installment of this column comes courtesy of hot tipper Emari, who provided this story that’s been featured on the excellent CrimNe.ws site. Kimberly A. Baker of Warrensburg, New York stands accused of having sex with […]
I always like stories that allow me to visit the lesser end of crimes that parents commit against their kids. While failure to pay child support is certainly nothing to take lightly, it doesn’t hold a candle to shooting one’s kids or imprisoning them in their rooms. This respite from extreme stories is made all […]
It doesn’t pay not to pay. So learned former hoops star Ralph Sampson, who’s been ordered to take the perp walk and serve sixty days time for failing to pay over $300,000 in support arrears. Sampson and his willie were pretty active during his tenure, with the former ACC champion fathering eight kids by five […]
