Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Well... murdering the infant did get him out of paying child support.
Mission accomplished?
The child is alive. He may get out of prison earlier than that. Not sure if it's possible that he'd still be responsible for back pay of the alimony. No idea how that works.
You get a job in prison; the pay is shit. Every penny he makes should go to that child
Found some US data. Not sure of current numbers because I didn't look that hard. Also these numbers are from memory because I'm too lazy to reopen the pages I found, so look at the sources themselves before you quote me on it.
Anyway, as of a few years ago in New Mexico they could take up to 50% of an inmate's pay to put towards restitution.
It looks like last year there was a rule proposed federally that would allow up to 75% of inmate wages to be garnished. Similar numbers for money coming from outside sources like commisary funds.
I also found a spreadsheet of inmate wages. And boy is it ugly.
Also I read somewhere that restitution orders are only good for 20 years. Not sure if that can be renewed after that or if that was the maximum time.
So basically the victims are fucked, the inmates are fucked, the state is fucked, and somehow private prisons are lucrative.

I don't see any indication in the article or the linked FB post that he murdered the infant.
I don’t know about the child support but the infant didn’t die.
