deadbeat dad in Florida finally pays up

In Collier County, Florida, the S.A.V.E. program goes after deadbeat dads. After four and one half years and two court ordered judgments, my ex still wouldn't pay child support, claiming he didn't have the money. I enrolled in the S.A.V.E. program for $100 and the state went after him. After another nine months, the judge finally put my ex husband in jail. Of course, he "purged" out within hours, that is, he paid what he was supposed to pay that week, but he got the message. He has paid in full each week for the past six weeks. We'll see how long it lasts. Unfortunately, the "purge" money is still with the local Sheriff's department -- I'm still waiting for the finance department to release the funds to the Clerk of Courts so that I can have the delinquent dollars. The S.A.V.E. program works. I'm so grateful, although with the delinquencies, I'll be collecting child support for the next 20 years.

Wonder how you’ll collect child support? Some states like Mississippi throw deadbeat dads in jail. In Ohio they put delinquent dad’s mug shots on pizza boxes. And California will pull a deadbeat doctor’s medical license. You’d think that would kind of get his attention, but it happened twice to the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother, Dr. January (Jan) Adams, most recently on Wednesday night.

The California Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the California Medical Board, wrote to Adams on May 21 informing him that he had to pay back child support or alimony by midnight on June 25. The Associated Press reported that he had been working under a temporary 150-day license, part of a debtor’s program run by the Department of Consumer Affairs, which issues temporary licenses until deadbeats pay up.

On June 26, the Medical Board announced in the matter of Dr. Adams that, “as of midnight last night, he is not allowed to practice medicine in California.” His license had previously been suspended for three months in 2006, for the same problem.

Turns out, that’s not his only problem. The Medical Board was already investigating whether or not to suspend his license because of two arrests for drunk driving. (You’d think that would be enough, wouldn’t you?) A few hours after his medical license was suspended he was arrested about an hour from Oakland by California Highway Patrol for driving his gray Jaguar up an off ramp on Interstate 680. He flunked the sobriety test. Oh yeah, and he was driving with a suspended license.

His website lists him as “a physician, author, lecturer, television personality, and entrepreneur,” and says he graduated from Harvard and has created some top cosmetic products. Maybe, but he also apparently doesn’t pay court ordered child support or alimony.
