Original Message It may not be a crime to be poor, but it can land you behind bars if you also are behind on your child-support payments.

The [Supreme Court] ruled 5-4 in June that poor parents are not entitled to a court-appointed lawyer when facing jail for non-payment of child support.

Instead, the justices said, states should use “substantial procedural safeguards” to ensure that those who have no means to pay are not locked up.
