66.0% of all support not paid by non-custodial fathers is due to inability to pay Statistical Source: 1988 Census "Child Support and Alimony: 1989 Series P-60, No. 173 p. 6-7. and U.S. General Accounting Office Report" GAO/HRD-92-39FS January, 1992
Felons? Yeah, I guess so. Nothing like being a layoff away from going to jail.
Would you accept a women who let her children starve to death because she "didn't have the money"? Would you let it pass causally? Or would you expect her to do whatever is necessary to keep her children alive?
There wouldn't be mercy for a women who's children starved, and there damn sure isn't going to be much for a man who has children and doesn't support them either.
Many men work under the table to avoid child support. On paper it looks like they don't have the money. That's "on paper". Maybe they're cheating more than just the mother...
