New Jersey Enemies
The Department of Human Services operates the NJ Office of Child Support. The program is further explained. This Office has a program to assist unemployed noncustodial parents with employment skills. As I said, I do not have any objection to any program that assists any unemployed person in finding gainful employment, PROVIDED THAT PARTICIPATION IS VOLUNTARY. However, this web page states clearly that "eligible non-custodial parents who are noncompliant with their child support obligations can be ordered to participate in the Work Requirements Judicial Benchcard Initiative". That, folks, is a violation of the Antipeonage Act on its face!!!
See this Website's History Page for a description of what New Mexico Territory did that inspired the Congress that won the Civil War to pass the Peonage Bill.
Article I Section 1 of the New Jersey Constitution declares the inalienable rights of all persons, including acquiring, possessing, and protecting property.
Article I Section 12 of the New Jersey Constitution prohibits excessive fines and bails and cruel and unusual punishments.
Article I Section 13 of the New Jersey Constitution prohibits imprisonment for debt except in cases of fraud. I guess child support is a fraud.
