Serving who?

This article makes me mad. And I'm not even affected by it! Virginia is now charging the custodial parent (i.e. the parent owed) a $25 fee to help the parent (who obviously needs the child support or they wouldn't care) to 'help' collect the owed child support.

Justice?

Here is a better (and much more practical!) idea: all deadbeat parents in the state would have their license revoked until they pay the child support due, or at least work out a payment plan, AND they pay the $25 fee for forcing the state to go after them, and they also pay the full and normal fee associated with loosing and reapplying for their license.

Now, this plan won't help much with deadbeat parents out of state (or who suddenly decide to move out of state, but with a little encouragement, the other states might be willing to implement similar plans. I mean, if the Passport office can recoup money from deadbeat parents, surely the states can use similar means to get the owed money back.

Honestly, what deadbeat parent doesn't need a driver's license? Justice should be served, not padding pockets. JUSTICE!
