$880 would pay my mortgage, utilities, phone, internet, and have a little left over. I've got kids! His ex-girlfriend was working when the support order was entered and earned slightly more than he did.
Okay, he's making $10/hour, let's say she's making $12. His gross per month is $1600, hers is $1920. She's taking $880 of his money, bumping her gross to $2800/month, While he's left with his after tax/confiscation/etc. of $400. Oh, well that was before he lost his job, truck, etc. because of being thrown in jail.
We worry about the kids, yet we show them how we punish the father by breaking his financial world, his spirit, and sending him into alcohol. What a great message for the kids. Oh, and teach them like you do. Kids emulate their parents. These kids will be far more likely to experience their own divorces, lousy family relations, and such than kids that grow up respecting their fathers.
I noted in the story that he was attempting to keep up with this outrageous confiscation of his income, but failed and was punished for failing. Is this just? Is this what women want? To pass on this kind of heritage?
Suppose the earth and the moon switched places?
You speak in BS..What ifs - I'm not playing!
