Dr. David Z. Martin: Dead Beat Dad Arrested on Felony Non-Support Charges

Is your ex-husband or ex-wife not paying child support according to your divorce judgment?

This week one of the offenders from the most wanted Child Support Evader list was arrested at JFK. The suspect, whose name is Dr. David Z. Martin, is said to owe a whopping $420,000 in back child support. No wonder he was trying to flee the country, that is one large bill.

Kltv.com talks about the recent arrest and states  ” This arrest stems from the defendant’s failure to make court-ordered child support payments for over a decade,” Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. “Though he attempted to avoid his obligation by traveling internationally, authorities were able to hold him accountable. We are grateful to officials in Carson County, Texas, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for their assistance with this case.”

Dr. David Z. Martin divorced from his wife in 1991. He was ordered to make monthly payment in the sum of $3,500 to ensure that his 2 children were taken care of. The doctor never made one single payment.

Martin now faces up to 2 years in prison if found guilty of felony criminal non-support. He also faces a fine up to $10,000.
