Shumbergcr v. Rummel
DRS No. 99-00021
PACSES No. 687100075
Dear Mr. Rummel:
The Domestic Relations Section has received your letters dated January 23, 2003, and the
letter to Judge Rehkamp dated January 27, 2003. I will attempt to answer the questions
you raised that pertain to your support matter.
Once you are released from the Perry County Prison, the DRS office will be
more than happy to consider your request to transfer your case to Cumberland
County.
If you are in jail because you have not paid your support, the Domestic
Relations Section does not waive or forgive the support obligation. You are in
jail because you did not pay your support as ordered by the Court. If you are
imprisoned for a matter not related to your support case, you may petition for
jail forgiveness. Such petitions are reviewed by me and decisions are made on
a case-by-case basis. Obviously, your own actions led to your incarceration,
but your child still has the same needs for food, clothing and shelter whether
you're in jail or not. Why should your child be penalized for your
irresponsible actions?
The SEC program referral is given to individuals who are already receiving
benefits from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. No one
associated with this case is receiving DPW assistance; therefore, that referral
has not been given to you. The CareerLink program which is utilized by the
SEC program is open to anyone. I have enclosed a CareerLink brochure for
your information.

I disagree that putting you in jail defeats the purpose of the enforcement
officer. What we're hoping will happen is that you'll realize that we are
serious about the collection of child support and that we're willing to put you
in jail to make it clear to you. You were given many opportunities to do the
right thing - i.e., pay your support - prior to being put you in jail. A review of
this file clearly indicates to me that you have been in Court on numerous
occasions for enforcement purposes. However, you still are not taking this
matter seriously. You fathered this child and you are morally, financially and
legally obligated to support him.
The work release program, provided work is available to you, is a concept that
we approve of because, as you say, it does get some support money for the
child. It certainly won't make much ora dent in the $4,800+/- that you
currently owe in arrears, but I feel certain that any funds received for your
son's benefit will be welcomed by his mother.
The issues you raised concerning terminating your parental rights and visitation are not
within the purview of the Domestic Relations Section. You should consult with your
attorney on those matters.
Sincerely,
Catherine C. Merwin, Director
