I have met many men professional men, medical doctors, MBAs etc, who have gone on unemployment to not pay their child support...not alimony...child support. I know one man who is gearing his career back up because his younges will be eighteen next year. Mother worked two jobs to keep body and soul together for her children as they crashed from a 180K income to less than 15 over the course of a year.

This doesn't make any sense. The men need something to live on. Why would they purposely starve and become homeless just to be vindictive to a wife?

This won't help him. He will still be considered in arrears for his old payments and still will need to catch up or face jail.

I have never heard of anyone doing this. This may have happened before, but you don't know more than one man who has done this.

It sounds to me like he should have been given custody since he was in a better position to support the children than she was.

Thats the problem that many/most men see in the discrimination being practiced by the courts nowadays.

Women, by virtue of their genitalia are superb parents and men are reduced to a pecker and a paycheck. Women are parents and men are just spare parts.

Women are perceived as these perfect beings who by virute of their breasts are perfect, godlike parents and men are all dunces who couldn't raise a child to save their lives.

It's state-supported and sponsored sexual discrimination. Period!

Just remember: Susan Smith was a mother and a less than perfect parent

maybe if the courts began to look out for the interests of the child instead of the mother and placed the child with the parent that could best support it, cases like you mentioned wouldn't happen as often as you say they do.

In many cases, "child support" is actually a disguise for alimony.

[BrianK]

You mean this woman did not contribute equally to the cost and effort of raising of the children? She should be jailed!! That is terrible -- parents have a responsibility to their children!!!

[mlmr]

NO, she contributed half when she was married and when he divorced her she went back to work and contributed most of the income...which was not much....to her children.
