Divorce information, advice and help on questions about rights under Florida divorce, alimony, property, child support, custody, visitation and domestic violence laws, cases, procedures and guidelines from Fort Lauderdale Broward & West Palm Beach County divorce lawyer Janet Langjahr
One area of the law where states differ dramatically is in child support enforcement.
An Indiana man accumulated $120,000 in child support arrearages.
That’s a felony in Indiana, for which he was charged with three counts.
That man was sentenced to nine (9) years in prison for non-payment of child support.
To be followed by 15 years of probation.
Indiana likely has a much higher rate of compliance with child support orders than Florida does.
