Condiciones para la entrega de personas por falta de apoyo

Explicación Simple

Antes de que un estado pida a otro que entregue a alguien por no pagar manutención, debe asegurarse de que se intentó conseguir ese pago antes. Si no se hizo nada, pueden esperar un tiempo razonable para empezar el proceso.

Es como cuando un amigo te pide que le devuelvas un libro, pero antes de eso, quiere asegurarse de que tú realmente no lo necesitas y que has intentado pedirlo de vuelta.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan vive en Colorado y no ha pagado la manutención de su hijo. El estado de Colorado primero verifica si la madre, Ana, intentó conseguir ese dinero antes de pedirle a otro estado que entregue a Juan. Si Ana no ha hecho nada, Colorado puede darle tiempo para que inicie el proceso.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

C.R.S. 14-5-802 – Conditions of rendition (a) Before making a demand that the governor of another state surrender an individual charged criminally in this state with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the governor of this state may require a prosecutor of this state to demonstrate that at least sixty days previously the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this article or that the proceeding would be of no avail. (b) If, under this article or a law substantially similar to this article, the governor of another state makes a demand that the governor of this state surrender an individual charged criminally in that state with having failed to provide for the support of a child or other individual to whom a duty of support is owed, the governor may require a prosecutor to investigate the demand and report whether a proceeding for support has been initiated or would be effective. If it appears that a proceeding would be effective but has not been initiated, the governor may delay honoring the demand for a reasonable time to permit the initiation of a proceeding. (c) If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the individual whose rendition is demanded prevails, the governor may decline to honor the demand. If the petitioner prevails and the individual whose rendition is demanded is subject to a support order, the governor may decline to honor the demand if the individual is complying with the support order.
