I was talking to my girlfriend last night and she mentioned how her ex-boyfriend doesn't have a bank account. He's actually well off financially, so I wondered why. Indeed, the answer is to avoid wage garnishment for child support.

I wonder what the mother and child think of this arrangement?

  I presume they wish the state had more effective means to redistribute the deadbeat's assets.

In many states, that won't work. The state just goes after the employer. A bank account is not a requirement for many states to grab your cash.
