Comments
why should "only" the NCP have his wages garnished? Both the CP and the NCP are EQUALLY, (50/50) liable to care for their own child, just like with MARRIED parents. The code as it has existed, violated the Equal Protection Clause anyways. Good catch, Mr. Quayle. Now, the next question is, why would DSS think they have any right to order any parent to PAY THEM for when that parent NEVER APPLIED FOR ANY ASSISTANCE to begin with, nor even QUALIFIES for any assistance. This is the hole where all the social services money has been leaked out to people "on behalf of the child" whereby the child was NOT EVEN IN NEED.
