Chandler v. Manning
Citations: 773 So. 2d 65; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 3104; 1997 WL 149232Docket: No. 97-842
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; March 26, 1997; Florida; State Appellate Court
The court grants the petition for Habeas Corpus, directing the immediate discharge of the petitioner, who is currently incarcerated for civil contempt related to unpaid child support. The court finds that the evidence contradicts the trial court's conclusion that the petitioner has the ability to pay the purge amount required for his release. The ruling cites precedent from similar cases, indicating that the decision is consistent with established legal principles. Furthermore, the court notes that this action does not prevent any future measures aimed at ensuring the petitioner's compliance with his child support obligations.
