Parents pay up
Nearly 1,000 New Jersey parents were arrested this week in the state’s bi-annual summons of overdue child support payments. The 953 parents owe more than $14 million. A three-day arrest period brough in $233,000, the Associated Press reports. The arrests target noncustodial parents who’ve fallen behind in payments or who’ve missed court dates.
