swers to these problems, but
let's look at the main ones.
In regard to the first ques-
ton. the puzzling item to
most Of US probably con-
Germs the statute of limita-
tions-that is, the rule which
requires that court action be
started-if it is going to be
started at all-usually within
two or three years of the
time that the cause Of the
action occurred. In other
words, If the case doesn't
get to court by then for
whatever reason, 1t is barred
from trial.
Probably Continuing"
In this instance, however,
the charge of nonsupport was
probably considered a con-
tinuing" one. The offense
was of a nature that just
kept on going until removed
by a satisfactory answer to
the complaint or by COM
pliance with a court order to
provide the necessary sup
port. Since Mr.. Chase was,
apparently, never found to
answer the charge, his Of
fense was presumed to con-
tinue indefinitely.
In regard to the second
problem-why did Judge Will
lard just dismiss the mat
ter?-it is important to
understand what the objec-
tive of the law is in most
domestic relations cases.
That objective is to remove
