This is one of those situations where we are seeing a misuse of language.
North Dakota elects not to do family law the federal government’s way. Thus
the federal government stops funding North Dakota’s child support
enforcement.
That is not a penalty, that is a PLUS!!!!
Fewer Treasury Notes we have to sell to the Saudi Royal Family. Less
National Debt. Less federal spending. This is not a penalty!
With shared parenting North Dakota no longer needs to commit the CRIME of
Peonage against its noncustodial parents because they will no longer be
noncustodial parents.
But this business of calling a state’s decision to not accept federal funds
by doing things its own way a “penalty” is a serious misuse of language. To
wit:
If you quit your job at IBM, IBM quits paying you. Nobody ever said that
is a “penalty”; it is the natural consequence of quitting a job. Everyone
is free to quit their job under the 13th Amendment and the Antipeonage Act.
Likewise, every state is free to refuse federal funds.
To call such a “mandate” is to call it something it is not.
Everything child support enforcement does is a CRIME of Peonage anyway, 18
U.S.C. §1581, because such denies to the noncustodial parent the
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to quit his job.
So why is the cessation of federal funding for a federal crime a penalty?
It is like calling the ocean land and calling land ocean.

$4.1 billion available to states whose family courts establish support orders, collect on amounts due, and create in arrearage (see 6B, 6C, & 6D).
An incentive program provided by, of all organizations, the Social Security Administration.

That’s only part of it. The police receive billions of dollars in re-education and training for domestic violence situations from the Violence Against Woman Act. The same Act that made an argument with your wife a jail-able offense (Later, when she divorces you, her attorneys use this battery charge to physically remove you from your home and seperate you from your children).
