Indiana Child Support Contempt - A Defense

There are old Indiana case law states the proposition that child support is not to drive a person into poverty. Not all judges give that a liberal interpretation. While I do not have the citations available, I do want to pass along the federal poverty guidelines for 2009 from the Department of Health and Human Services:

The 2009 Poverty Guidelines for the
48 Contiguous States and the District of Columbia

Persons in family	Poverty guideline
1	$10,830

4	22,050
5	25,790
6	29,530
7	33,270
8	37,010
For families with more than 8 persons, add $3,740 for each additional person.
