America a Safe Haven for International DeadBeats?

	posted by Scott on Wednesday January 21, @11:35AM from the inequality/double-standards dept.
	Laura Wright has submitted news that a woman who is wanted for non-payment of child support in Germany is running scot-free in the United States, where similar non-payment of child support would ordinarily result in a prison sentence. The short version of her story is, "Ex-wife pushes for prison sentence of so-called deadbeat dad, to find out she is wanted in Germany for non-payment of support for her two abandoned children. She has the staus of a deadbeat parent in St. Wendel, Germany and has taken citizenship in the US to avoid prosecution in homeland-Germany. Immigration says ok." Laura has extensive documentation about this case that she would like to distribute, particlarly to any media outlets. Please e-mail her at lawright10@hotmail.com for more info.

Obvious Questions... (Score:2) by frank h on Wednesday January 21, @12:27PM EST (#1) (User #141 Info) 1) Do we have an extradition treaty with Germany? 2) Have the German authorities sought extradition? 3) If so, how has the US State Department responded?

Ya gotta love this one (Score:1) by LSBeene on Wednesday January 21, @02:41PM EST (#2) (User #1387 Info) Ya gotta love this one. This woman pushed to get her "deadbeat" sperm giver to be put in jail for his non-payment, but come to find out, she herself is a "deadbeat". This so typifies how this issue is framed in the U.S. If a father does not pay for whatever reason, legitimate to just being scum, we have a "zero-tolerance" policy. But when a woman is doing the same there is no outcry at her lack of compassion to help out her children. The "but, but, but, that's different" light on my dashboard is blinking in overdrive.

The only caveat is that I don't want anyone to just duplicate the page on another site, otherwise I'm fine with people using it.

Are Other Countries Any Different? (Score:2) by Dittohd on Thursday January 22, @01:00PM EST (#8) (User #1075 Info) Seems to me that any man who wants to avoid child support in our country can do the same thing - move to another country. The only problem is that you can't go home without the possibility of getting caught and thrown in jail. The solution for men here? Have your relationships in other countries. Then if you get screwed by a woman in cooperation with that other government, move to another country and start over, always avoiding relationships in your own country. I think the problem is just that prosecuters don't consider unpaid child support a serious enough crime to seek extradition across foreign borders. Dittohd
