I feel for those guys like crazy, but I bet you that the kids of these hard working construction workers are NOT getting thin an starving.
Growing up, my parents had some really tight times between times of employment. We kids had nearly exclusively cream of wheat for breakfast and a peanut butter sandwich for lunch.
No,the kids aren’t, but the workers are.
The workers have to pay a court appointed child support amount, and it doesn’t change on a dime because one week they earn $400 and the next $125. They just have to pay a set amount.
So they end up owing, on the wrong side of the legal system and hungry to boot.
