Under employed and unemployed men are less likely to be the primary breadwinner of the household. Pretty much all the formulas and tables that divorce courts use to determine how hard of a financial fucking a man gets deliver much less of a fucking if the man is being out earned by their spouse so there's less incentive for under-employed men to "fix things". While state laws different and some states are pretty equitable about divorce enough aren't that it should show up in statistics.

When I got married the amount the state expected for any kid went from a pretty standard computed amount of 20% (30% post tax) to more like the ~10% post-tax it actually costs me to take care of the kid without mandated support (which still affords them quite a generous lifestyle). There's no rational reason why the kid is always gonna need 3x the money if you're not married, yet the courts say it's so dire a need to spend 3x the money for unmarried couples if you don't pay it you go to jail.
