Why has my daughter's child support through the state been frozen while her father is incarcerated?
Full Question:
My daughter has tried to get support from the father of her child who has been incarcerated since 8/7/06 for stalking a minor, attempting to lure a minor child into a vehicle, criminal attempt, and parole violation. He has a history of this. He wants to be relieved of his financial obligation. The court has frozen her support and I feel that is unjust to my daughter and granddaughter. It is not her fault he is in jail and unable to work.
What is yerkes v yerkes case? It was put in my daughters support papers as to why she should get her support but was denied.
If he gets out of jail will he be allowed to see his daughter?

Answer:
The court in Yerkes held that incarceration, by itself, doesn't justify changing a support order. If he is already allowed visitation, he will likely have visitation upon release, unless the visitation order is modified.
