Prosecution of Deadbeat Dads on The Run

In today's Toronto Star there's a story about a plastic surgeon who left the country to, allegedy, evade his support obligation. His claim is that he ran out of money and could not offer the surity that the courts ordered and was jailed for contempt once he returned to Ontario to attend court.

Documentation filed with the courts suggest his has no lack of financial resources, in that he owns a Porsche, a Mercedes and a luxury house on a waterside estate.

We'll need to see where this leads and leaves those who are dead broke rather than simply deadbeats. This may be another nail in the coffins of those who are doing their best to simply stay afloat.
