New York court orders review of jailed mother's $500 child support cap claim
A New York woman serving a seven-year prison sentence for kidnapping her child has won a fresh hearing over unpaid child support. Chelsea Four-Rosenbaum had sought to limit her debt to $500, arguing that her income remained below federal poverty guidelines while imprisoned. An appeals court ruled that her request had been examined under the wrong legal provision and ordered a fresh review.
A New York woman serving a seven-year prison sentence for kidnapping her own child has been granted the opportunity to contest the child-support payments she owes. According to Justia, Chelsea Four-Rosenbaum asked the court to cap her unpaid debt at $500 during her imprisonment, claiming her earnings were too low. A New York appeals court has ordered a new hearing to determine if her income during incarceration was low enough to qualify for the cap.
Her original child-support payments were calculated based on her earnings before incarceration, even though she was already in prison when the order was issued.
