I don't have a ton of sympathy for a man who enforces court-ordered child support on men, but ducks out of it himself.

On the other hand, I myself am currently building an arrears in support payments that I will never clear. I was ordered to pay more than I could afford, after being repeatedly railroaded in the court. Rather than appeal, I just gave up. I have no job. No assets. No car. No contact with the kids.

She accused me of domestic violence, beating her, beating the kids, threatening her, her friends, her family, and miscellaneous other bad acts. None of this was true. There was no evidence, no corroboration, but the court was only too willing to accept her accusations at face value. I lost the house, all the contents, the kids, and was ordered to pay her court costs (it apparently cost her $65000 to take my kids away from me), on top of monthly payments that were based on her fabricated figures for my income. How could this be? How could the court take her numbers as my income when my W2 clearly states otherwise? I have no idea. How was I going to live with no belongings, no house, and no assets? How could I even afford a car to get to work? I realized at some point that I could not win. A DV accusation is a nuclear weapon in divorce court. I decided I didn't want to try anymore. So here I sit.

So anyway I can empathize with a man who feels wronged with court-ordered support payments.
