Showdown in Motown: Michigan Dads vs. Leader of ACES
Are they deadbeats who've walked out on their kids and their
responsibilities? Or decent fathers persecuted by a system
which values them only as wallets?
Over the past several months the government of Michigan has
been singling out so-called "deadbeat dads" for humiliation
and punishment, including new punitive laws and an
incendiary billboard
campaign.
Debbie Kline is the new Executive Director of the
Association for
Children for the Enforcement of Support, a nationwide
organization which advocates tougher child support
enforcement and has frequently been an opponent of the
fathers' rights movement. Murray Davis is a longtime
Michigan fathers' rights activist and the vice-president of
the National Family Justice
Association.
Kline and Davis square d
off on the Michigan crackdown,
child support, and child support enforcement.
