Ex-hubby sent to jail over child support
WHEN her ex-husband refused to pay for their children's maintenance,Jenny, a nurse in Penang, was forced to go to the extreme. She draggedhim to jail, literally.
[table=200][/table]After filing for a divorce in 2004, the court hadordered Jenny's former husband, a senior technician, to provide RM400 amonth child support for their 6-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter.

Butthe senior technician did not comply with the court order. Jenny had togo through endless court proceedings to get him to pay. When heremained adamant after a year, she got a court order to jail him.

Accompaniedby her lawyer, a court bailiff and two policemen, Jenny drove to herhusband's workplace and the court order was served on him.

Jennysaid her former husband remained in prison for two days and since itwas a civil arrest, Jenny had to pay RM30 a day for her husband's foodin prison.
Her former husband, who earned about RM3,500 a month, then paid RM600 before lapsing in payment again.

Sheresorted to another civil arrest, and this time her former husband wasin prison for five days. After going through more court procedures, hefinally agreed to a salary deduction of RM400 plus another RM150installments on the arrears.

The payments finally came through last December but after much heartache and  endless court procedures.

Ineight out of 10 cases, the father would default on the child supportpayment and the burden was on the mother to file a complaint in court,said Bar Council family law committee head Lalitha Menon.

Shesaid it was a cumbersome process for single mothers to file a complaintto the court, get a date, a bailiff and pin down the father to make thepayment.

"Ideally, we should set up a centre for mothers to filea complaint and the courts will process the complaint. It shouldn't becostly and the agency must have enforcement powers to implement courtorders."

The Bar Council is drafting a proposal to amend the LawReform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 and present it to thegovernment, but it would take some time before it can be approved andput to work.

Lalitha said the crux of the matter was to removethe burden and simplify the process for mothers to receive themaintenance as scheduled, without the worry and acrimony.

Her suggestion is very much like what the Syariah Judiciary Department's newly established  Family Support Unit is tasked to do.

"Themost important person that we have to look after is the child. Withoutproper maintenance the child would be deprived of basic necessities andeducation."
