Wonder how many of these people have been arrested for refusing to pay or are they unable to pay due to loss of income? There are situations where probate is involved and the party is in arrears because the garnishment is divided between child support and alimony. Being in arrears for child support is punishable by jail. Being in arrears for alimony is not. Probate does not fairly apply the garnishment to satisfy child support first and whatever is left over to alimony second. It is a back-handed way to imprison people for 'failure to pay' as opposed to inability to pay. If it is true that they have reneged on their obligation to their children, then that is the consequence. If they are unable to meet the financial obligation of child support because of loss of wage and simply do not have the income accessible to do so, then placing them in jail does little to remedy an out of hand situation. If the courts have unfairly divvied up child support / alimony leaving the child support short, then that is a problem that needs attention. njalimonyreform.org
