Jesse Kipf thought it better to be declared dead than pay his ex-wife child support.

After amassing an arrearage in excess of $100,000.00 dollars, Kipf infiltrated a number of state data bases, and using stolen physician’s credentials, created a death certificate for himself.

He would have gotten away with it too, except he wasn’t dead.

Now, in addition to the back child support he will have to pay nearly another $80,000.00 in fines, fees and restitution for the damage he caused when hacking the State and other systems.

On top of all of this, he still owes child support going forward. Mississippi will also incarcerate persons for refusing to pay child support.

Kipf is scheduled to be sentenced April12 for his crimes.

Matthew Thompson is a Child Support lawyer in Mississippi and advises client’s to NOT fake their own death to avoid paying child support.
