Arrest order issued then revoked for Vincente Padilla

I have made a huge mistake…

According to La Prensa newspaper in Nicaragua, pitcher Vicente Padilla—who signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox earlier this month—had an arrest warrant issued for his failure to show up in court for a child support hearing, only to have the arrest order revoked later. That second article suggests that Padilla is facing an order not to leave Nicaragua for spring training until the matter is resolved. According to the reports, Padilla owes approximately US$4,200 in child support.

The Red Sox signed Padilla to a minor league deal that includes a $1.5 million salary if he is added to the major league roster. The 13-year veteran has a career record of 104-90 with a 4.31 ERA.

You expect the guy in the $5000 suit to show up for this kind of court hearing? C'MON!

Turns out they were looking for Fausto Carmona all along.

He just wants his kids back.

He should have his kids take his money away.

He just wants his kids back.

And his children probably feel like that kid who found the severed hand in the park.

Not having the money is really the only excuse for not paying child support. Anything else, and you're just a schmuck.

Luckily for my faith in boyhood idols, Dave Foley has that excuse.

I mean, I guess it's not so lucky for him...but he's not me so who cares!

If only he hadn't blown his SAT score by staying up all night the night before playing Stargate Defender, he might have had a lucrative career that supported his children.

But no, he had to save the humanoids...

What if the child support is over $10,000 per month?

Depending on who you are I'd assume that would fall under the "not having the money" category.

Dunno. I can see the case for withholding payments, if your ex is jerking you around with your visitation rights.

Bang on. Especially when the ex isn't short of money and the child won't suffer. In fact, while support law is strongly tilted towards women courts do recognize the right to withhold payments when visitation is illegally denied.
