Marriage of Dennis

I concur with the majority opinion and write for the purpose of stating that the conclusions reached by Justice Abrahamson in her concurrence which attempts to justify this defendant father’s failure to support his family are not and should not be the law in this state.

Justice Abrahamson suggests that the “seek-work” order in this case “raises questions of due process, equal protection and involuntary servitude.” (Abrahamson, J. concurrence, infra, p. 275).

The public might well wonder by what legal legerdemain one can equate a court order “directing [a] parent to take alternative employment”…
