Would a father get the same deal

MANCHESTER – A local woman was given a suspended sentence this week after admitting she did not pay $18,439.66 in court-ordered child support.

Samantha Bilodeau, 37, of Manchester was sentenced Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court-Northern District. She pleaded guilty to a felony charge of criminal non-support.

Judge William J. Groff sentenced her to two to four years in prison, with all but time served - 208 days - suspended for five years.

The sentence includes five years probation, under the supervision of the state Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) Legal-Criminal Enforcement Unit. Bilodeau also had to sign a waiver of extradition.

Wayne Jeffrey, DCSS program specialist/criminal investigator, said today it is "not as uncommon" as in the past to find some women not paying their court-ordered child support. Another woman, he said, currently is being held in the Valley Street jail for not paying back child support.

"We try not to use that term 'dead beat,' but there are some dead beat moms," he said.

Bilodeau’s apprehension and prosecution is the result of the combinedefforts of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department, the Office of theHillsborough County Attorney, and DCSS.

This Cow Ann Heche get a pass on month of child.

"My recurring business expenditures, household expenditures and support payments have nearly exhausted my financial resources...I am continuing to look for work but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further."

Men in Trees has gone the way of the dodo. Unfortunately, Anne Heche's cash supply seems to be nearing extinction, as well.

After Heche claimed she'll be more than $6,000 in the hole if she's required to shell out any more money, a judge on Wednesday granted the actress' request to suspend child and spousal support payments to ex-husband Coley Laffoon for the month of July, according to court documents obtained by E! News. (View the docs.)

If it was the Husband the judge would have said NO Way, Pay or go to Jail.

I wonder what she did to get this order. I bet there was some knee work involve

This the Judge who allow this to happen. Would she done the same for a Father who fell on hard time. Hell No she wouldn't, Just goes to show that Men are the only one force to pay support even if they can't afford it, and mother don't have to, nor will be force too.

Every father in LA should call her and complain about her bias towards fathers.

This is a good quote

Strange...the courts don't take your financial situation into account when you are a MAN!!!! You have to pay even if it means you end up living in a refrigerator box under an overpass!!! Why is she getting special treatment?? Because she's a WOMAN??? I thought we were all equal now... This is b******t!
