The defendant had been ordered to pay alimony since 2010, but enforcement failed due to lack of assets, leading the state to pay directly to the children. The court found the defendant guilty of intentionally endangering the children's basic needs and imposed an eight-month prison sentence, rejecting probation due to his prior similar conviction.
