There are definitely exceptions, but I think the abusive father walking away is the exception not the rule. What people have a problem with is that father’s, as a rule, are assumed to be the problem with the original relationship and mother’s are the victims and therefore the father must pay. I would argue that this is not a majority of the cases and therefore an injustice is being done in many, if not most cases.
I’ll be honest I have no idea about ‘most’ cases. I only know what we have lived. My ex owes his kids over $11,000 and has not even attempted to pay it. He does not have visitation due to abuse (well documented and proven in court).
It just seems like there is a lot of anger directed towards divorced women.
