The retired racing driver Al Unser Jr. was spared jail time for driving while under the influence of alcohol by entering into a negotiated plea agreement with prosecutors. The 57-year old two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 will perform 480 hours of community service and spend 363 days on probation for getting behind the wheel after drinking on May 20. He has also been ordered to attend a victim impact panel. Details of the deal were published on Aug. 6.
Service members are required to pay child support
Each branch of the armed forces considers it a duty of service members to provide child support regardless of their marital or custodial status. Federal rules do not conflict with or override state child support rules, but they require servicemembers and veterans in Indiana to pay child support for noncustodial and custodial children. If there is a court order or a written agreement between the parents in place, the servicemember must abide by its terms.
