If the person doesn't have a problem breaking the law by not paying child support, then how are they going to have a problem driving without a liscense?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532237715455614152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-27779537218583196502007-01-24T20:49:00.000-07:002007-01-24T20:49:00.000-07:00Wage garnishment works.

It's amazing how parents can find money for their kids when their right to drive is about to be taken away.<br /><br />David Moody<br />Lubbock, TexasDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361787950760701781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-29844534652394094632007-01-24T14:39:00.000-07:002007-01-24T14:39:00.000-07:00Good point Frank.

Sounds like a good idea to take there transportation to and from work so we can get them to pay their child support... Oh wait, they would loose their job, thats what we need. Somebody not paying child support and unemployed. Good plan. The tax return and property lien would be the best route it would seem to me. <br />I also agree with Representative Ron. We served with somebody that was a noncustodial parent claiming to be abused by the system.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532237715455614152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-30012579457601119582007-01-24T14:15:00.001-07:002007-01-24T14:15:00.001-07:00Years ago I had a short career as a despised loan ...Years ago I had a short career as a despised loan collector for a bank. We sometimes resorted to garnishing wages and other income after getting a judgment against a severely delinquent debtor. But garnishments rarely brought in much money.<br /><br />First off, it must be realized that doing a garnishment costs money. Second, a surprising number of deadbeats had no discernable income (they weren’t working or were being paid under the table). Third, most parties to divorce have serious financial problems. Many deadbeats are in hock to many, but have few assets that could be liquidated to cover the debts.<br /><br />Many times when we tried to run a garnishment, we were just standing in line behind others (including family services and other government agencies). The law permits only so much to be garnished because these people have to have something to live on. The upshot is that we successfully collected very little net money from garnishments. The large outstanding amount owed in child support does not surprise me in the least.<br /><br />So we’re proposing to take away these people’s drivers licenses, which will accomplish … what? If they drive for a living, they will lose their job and will have no income. That’s a plus, I’m sure. Otherwise, they will be like many DUI convicts, reckless drivers, and illegals. They will simply drive without a license.<br /><br />Yes, we have problems collecting from deadbeats. There are real reasons that it is so difficult. But I can’t understand how taking away deadbeats’ drivers licenses will improve the situation.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-89449410532902032932007-01-24T14:15:00.000-07:002007-01-24T14:15:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532237715455614152noreply@blogger.com
