The State House passed a bill today that will crackdown on deadbeat parents. Senate Bill 1126, by Senator Clark Jolley and Rep. Jason Nelson, tightens statutory language related probation for failure to pay court ordered child support.
“Current law allows a parent to fall further and further behind on child support payments by allowing them to pay a little here and a little there,” said Rep. Jason Nelson, R-Oklahoma City. “SB 1126 makes it clear that a parent who is placed on probation for failure to pay child support has only ninety days to pay current and back child support or lose their professional license and driving privileges.”
SB 1126 will now go to the governor for his consideration.. Senate Bill 1126, by Senator Clark Jolley and Rep. Jason Nelson, tightens statutory language related probation for failure to pay court ordered child support.
