Joel Lavon Crockett lives in Logan, Utah. He is a truck driver and has not paid child support for over 1 1/2 years. I took him to court back in 2000 and he paid for about a year. Now he is in arrears of nearly $17,000.00.
At the last court hearing in January he said that the reason he hadn't paid was that his wife was supposed to make the child support payments while he was on the road. Baloney! The judge even said that Joel was full of it!
The judge said that he was in contempt of court and was ordered to spend 5 days in jail. The judge said that he would waive those 5 days IF he would start making payments and provide the Office of Recovery Services with current employer information and anything else that they would request.
Joel Crockett has still not paid child support or done according to the Order of the Court.
A review hearing will be held in April. If he has not paid by then, he will probably be sentenced to 10 days in jail and will hopefully lose every license he has.
Joel is a perfect example of a deadbeat dad. He even makes excuses for being a deadbeat dad! I sympathize with anyone who has to deal with a deadbeat dad or a deadbeat mom!
