Michigan Fathers Under Siege
Billboards boasting of jail time for fathers struggling with
child support obligations (see above) dot the Michigan
landscape, as a politically savvy Attorney General seeks to
boost his career the way
so many have
over the past two decades--by beating up on divorced dads.
However, research has conclusively shown that the largest
factor behind nonpayment of child support is not divorced
fathers' indifference to their children but unemployment. As
Dianna Thompson and Murray Davis of the
National Family Justice
Association (NFJA)
explained in a recent column, fathers fall behind on their
child support because they are held to "an unattainable
standard to never become physically or mentally ill, never
get disabled, and to never lose a job or get laid off in a
poor economy."
Thompson and Davis will discussed
Michigan's war on fathers.
