BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new law in North Dakota will end monthly child support obligations of parents sentenced to jail or prison for 180 days or longer.<\/p>\n
The Legislature approved the change to prevent the accumulation of past-due child support owed by incarcerated parents.<\/p>\n
The law allows a child support obligation to be re-established if an incarcerated parent has more than $750 of net monthly income from outside sources. It does not apply to parents on work release or probation.<\/p>\n
Leann Bertsch is the director of the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. She says the law will help facilitate successful re-entry into the community by reducing debt that could set former inmates up for failure and possible re-incarceration.<\/p>\n
State records show about 330 inmates will have their child support obligations terminated.<\/p>\n
