		<description><![CDATA[Until recently, a person who had failed to pay his child support could very easily find himself in jail for up to six months.  Our bloodlust for deadbeat dads had caused the government to do one of the things our founding fathers had feared the most:  We were putting people in jail with little or no evidence of any wrongdoing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contempt of court often comes up when somebody fails to pay their child support.  There's no statute that makes failure to pay child support a criminal offense that requires jail time.  So how does somebody end up behind bars for failure to pay?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gone are the days when child support payments were calculated by simply taking a percentage of the payer's income.  Tennessee (like many states) has adopted the "income shares" model for calculating child support payments.  The process has become so complicated that Tennessee provides a software child support calculator to help parents and attorneys determine the payments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A guy called me from one of the New England states because he had been sued by the Tennessee Child Support Services.  The child support order required him to pay a certain amount of child support to his son's mother in weekly installments.  In order to make his life easier, he was paying a full month's worth of support at the beginning of each month.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Way back in the 1970's, the public became concerned that the government was paying welfare for the support of children who were not being supported by both of their parents.  Put another way: Why are my tax dollars going to feed children if their parents aren't putting food on the table?]]></description>
