Because Your Earning Power Really Soars When You Spend Time In Jail
-
You owe child support, but you can't afford to pay it. Say you lost your job, or took a pay cut, or you have a sudden influx of medical bills. So you go to court to ask for a break, but the likelihood is that they'll throw you in jail instead. The courts don't give many breaks to "deadbeat dads," it seems, even if dad isn't intending to be a deadbeat. The kids need to be considered first, yes, but is kinda like debtors' prison? Does throwing dad in jail really help take care of the kids? (MSNBC)
