A:'"That I was a good father," (adolescent father) If the male participant is a father, most will be non - custodial parents. Traditionally, as non - custodial parents, the fathers have been treated in a punitive fashion. One incentive of the OFF program will involve the postponement of child support payments. On a case -by -case basis, the Orange County Court System has agreed to consider postponing all child support payments by fathers who are involved in the job training portion of the OFF program. If the father is the custodial parent, the OFF program will help him make the appropriate choice for day care placement. The case advocate will help him secure any financial assistance necessary and develop day care arrangements to meet the particular needs of the father. 6/19/91 The Orange County OFF Draft TWO Proposal 15
