Dear Editor,
The functions of the Family Court should be in the best interest of the child. So why are good fathers being forced into becoming criminals?
Imagine a father who earns $20,000 per month being asked to pay maintenance of $25,000 per month.
The father will no doubt be unable to pay. In the ensuing chain of events, this father will be found in violation of the court order, a warrant is sent out for his arrest, then he goes to jail, loses his job, can't support himself nor provide the little he used to give his child.
The system needs to be reviewed now and quickly. The Minister with responsibility and agents of the State need to protect our future. And we need them to act fast.
