This is the sort thing that is a nightmare to consider if you're a dad. It's also extremely common in cases of divorce for the father to end paying child support in excess of what he can actually afford.
The state does its part to make sure that the downside risk of marriage and having children is about as high as possible for men. I'd imagine that people will start working out contracts on this stuff well ahead of getting married to avoid these sorts of situations. I'm not sure if that's possible in the case of child support though.
I'm not sure why anything thinks that squeezing a dad who loves his kids and wants to do right by them is a good idea at all. I can't help but wonder what's really motivating these state workers and judges when they pronounce these sort of rulings.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoMoney. I had no idea that states received more money from the Federal government if they collect more in child support, but it makes the entire situation make a lot more sense.
- jswinghammer 17y agoYeah I saw that and was horrified. I have no idea why this would be the case though. I just can't help but think they have other even worse motives than money.
