Unemployed Fathers to be Placed in Government Jobs; Child Support Automatically Deducted
The Cabinet decided to ensure that unemployed fathers are placed in jobs—in the beautification groups and other employment—so that they may earn an income and provide financial support to their children with single mothers.
Chief of Staff in the Office of the Prime Minister Lionel Max Hurst told the weekly Cabinet press briefing that too many single mothers are unable to receive any or sufficient financial support for the children that unemployed males have fathered.
The Cabinet reminded the nation that fathers have specific legal obligations, and the Administration intends to assist in ensuring that those fathers earn income from which court-ordered deductions can be made.
“We do not want to see any of these fathers go to jail…We have decided to fund the employment of unemployed fathers with the understanding that a portion of their weekly salaries will be diverted to the magistrate’s court to support their children,” he said.
He said there are also plans to train those who have dropped out of school with various skills to increase their wages.
These fathers will not want to work because the child support money they don’t want to pay will be deducted. Do you think some of the child support money is not being paid because these fathers cant pay? They are just wicked
Dat is it!
Mine is working n js flat out refuse to pay
IMHO this is a great move because not all Father’s are wanna be dead beats. They just can’t find employment. Of course we have those who are just sorry, irresponsible,trifling excuses for human beings who should have just wrapped it up and just not procreated.
