i assumed it was somethin from The Onion or whatever and looked it up on google and there were a bunch of articles about it. i hope this is a satire thing about how the courts regularly bone men in pretty much every situation (but male priv right, feminists????). so if someone sees its a joke let me know so i can manualyl unrustle my jim jims.

That story is true, but the way it's being presented in the article you linked to is kind of misleading. From

The details of the issue are still somewhat unclear, but the claim that Hall was punished for "paying too much child support" appears to be a misinterpretation of the facts of the case.
The crux of the matter seems to be that (as maintained by Hall) a court agreement specifying child support and visitation terms was modified without his knowledge, resulting in his underpaying child support and taking custody of his son outside of the court-approved visitation schedule. When Hall found out about the modified terms, in order to avoid jail time he quickly paid nearly $3,000 in back child support (despite, he claims, having been told during a court appearance several weeks earlier that he was all paid up) and agreed to pay the child's mother $3,000 in attorney's fees (which she presumably incurred in bringing the issue of his non-compliance with the agreement to court).
