"Deadbeat" Dad Actually "Dead-Broke"

Neil Steyskal sent in this story from the New York Times (free registration required to read). The story is a feature about a man who is obligated to pay $899 a month in current and back child support.... The only job he says he can find is a part-time one at a Denver recreation center that pays $600 a month. When he does the math, Mr. Stribling said, he feels as if he is drowning. According to the story, Stribling is responsible for creating his own situation, but the judge created the payment problem by considering Stribling's "earning potential" and not his actual income.
