LAS VEGAS—A court officer in Las Vegas postponed until June a decision whether to suspend the Nevada medical license of the doctor accused of administering a fatal dose of anesthetic to pop star Michael Jackson.
A decision about Dr. Conrad Murray's professional fate in Nevada rests not with the state Board of Medical Examiners, but in Clark County Family Court.

That's where Clark County prosecutors are trying to suspend Murray's medical license because he's almost $16,000 behind on child support to the mother of his child in Santa Clara County, Calif.

Murray appeared with his lawyer Friday before a court hearing master who decided to wait until after a May 27 court hearing in Santa Clara where the woman will have to formally forgive Murray's child support debt

What's got child support to do with his licence?

Okay, so the bottom line is that the woman promised to forgive him his past debt IF he kept up with his child support since November, which he has done...miraculously. How could he do it now but not before? Anyway, his medical license being suspended seemed to hinge on his child support so now that he's paying and the woman will forgive his debt, I'll be surprised if his license is suspended.

His license was in jeopardy over child support.  That fact was already stated on his license info on the Nevada med. license website.  To make matters worse, he lied about owing any money when he renewed- apparently.  Anyway,  to keep professional licensure there's some things you have to do in some places and there you have to pay your child support.

That profession may have some tricky wording in the license grant. Like Judges for instance. I would say they would have to have good moral standing in the community. Perhaps Conrad Murray needs good moral character to keep his license. Owing debt that is criminally punishable is probably not considered good moral character.
