Description
Pending before the court is a petition for habeas corpus filed by Peter Robert Scariati, Jr. (Scariati). He asks that we grant the same and discharge him from the purportedly illegal confinement and restraint to which he is subject. We garner from the record before us that he was ordered confined in the Potter County jail by the Judge of the 320th Judicial District Court. The reason for his confinement was his failure to comply with the directives of a prior divorce decree. That is, the court found him in contempt for failing to: 1) pay monthly child support, 2) maintain health insurance for his children or reimburse his ex-wife (Deborah Lynn Durham) for the cost of insuring the children via her group health plan, and 3) reimburse his ex-wife for his pro rata share of the medical expenses she incurred and paid on behalf of the children. For each act of contempt, Scariati was assessed a period of six months confinement, and the periods were to run concurrently. In addition, the court also ordered that he remain confined until he pays various sums for past child support, court costs, attorneys fees, uninsured medical expenses, and health insurance expenses.
