18 U.S.C. § 228- Failure to pay legal child support obligations


Amazing how quickly the feds spring into action, received word this morning about the referral.. Jimmy has only himself to blame, he poked the wrong bear..

18 U.S.C. § 228- Failure to pay legal child support obligations

Section 228 of Title 18, United States Code, makes it illegal for an individual to willfully fail to pay child support in certain circumstances.

For one, an individual is subject to federal prosecution if he or she willfully fails to pay child support that has been ordered by a court for a child who lives in another state, or if the payment is past due for longer than 1 year or exceeds the amount of $5,000. A violation of this law is a criminal misdemeanor, and convicted offender face fines and up to 6 months in prison (See 18 U.S.C. § 228(a)(1)).

If, under the same circumstances, the child support payment is overdue for longer than 2 years, or the amount exceeds $10,000, the violation is a criminal felony, and convicted offenders face fines and up to 2 years in prison (See 18 U.S.C.§ 228(a)(3)).

Lastly, this statute prohibits individuals obligated to pay child support from crossing state lines or fleeing the country with the intent to avoid paying child support that has either been past due for more than 1 year or exceeds $5,000. (See 18 U.S.C. § 228(a)(2)). Any individual convicted of this crime may face up to 2 years in prison.

Notably, other than in the specific circumstances aforementioned, child support enforcement issues are handled by state and local authorities, and not by the federal government. Furthermore, all child support enforcement matters must be addressed at the local or state level before concerns can be raised at the federal level.

Update!

  Courtesy of Josiah Deutsch : (Let's get him to 40k hits!)  I'm glad to report movement in the Federal Criminal case against psycho, James Arnold Allen, of Ada, Oklahoma. SAC said it's with the AUSA Clerk's office, but wouldn't elaborate.. Soooo I continue to wait, but that's okay. I find joy in knowing what's in store for Jimmy, makes all the waiting worth it! That means Jimmy won't be able to buy Diana that multi-million dollar mansion on the beach in Cancun, Cozumel, or wherever his make-believe state of mental illness takes his Fantasyworld that day, nor will he make that December mandate. Once indicted it's impossible to travel internationally without the Judge's permission. Between that and, oh yeah, Jimmy's poverty, and the Child Support block on his Passport (with the Department of State), it's not going to happen.. Just fantasy.. Although I wish he would flee, that would be even more felonies for Jimmy!!!  James, stop stringing ...

Look At Balding, Old AF Mario

Someone definitely looks like they're almost 50.. What 50 year-old sits around and takes pics like this anyway? Answer: Lunatic stalker, James Arnold Allen, that's who! Imagine how Jimmy is going to age when he's in the FEDERAL bighouse! 

James is Tripling-down on Stolen Valor and Stealing from Real Wounded Vets!

We all know Jimmy was never a Soldier.. A soldier in the US Army graduates BCT and AIT, or OSUT regardless of component (Active or Reserve). James, you enlisted on a contract to serve in the Reserve with the guarantee that after AIT you would make SPC, with half of your bonus paid at your ship date and the other half paid when you completed. We have your discharge and MEPS paperwork, dude, they put your guaranteed grade at closure so you wouldn't have to pay back half the bonus, and so they wouldn't have to waste JP cycles. YOU NEVER SERVED, YOU PSYCHOTIC KOOK! How about that RE code? That's right, they DIDN'T WANT YOU BACK because you wasted USG time, money, and that RE code will follow you around forever, along with your upcoming felonies and past DUI (your NCIC record is still there, dude). You enlisted in the Reserve, went to BCT, which technically puts you on AD through training, but you couldn't hack it and were separated after five weeks (Jan-20-2005 thru Feb...
