After my divorce the city mailed me a letter stating if I couldn't afford my child support the things the state could do to me including jail. A form letter threatening me with prison time.
I can bet you the ex never got a letter like that.
Nothing like worrying if you ever lost your job, you could go to jail, a criminal for being unemployed.
No criminal court, no jury, just a family court judge finding you in contempt and off to jail.
Update
Forgot to say it also included that it could pull my license and put liens on my vehicles. Divorce court has 3 tables, the state sits at one to make sure its "interests" are protected. So you actually have a judge, state, and ex against you men in court. Nothing like being teamed up against you during the worst time of your life.
Also, I was unemployed for 2 months, they took the max 50% of my unemployment for child support, and put the liens on my vehicles. I was lucky at 90 days they would have started contempt of court proceedings against me. And then when I got my new job, they promptly recalculated my child support at a higher cost. BTW, I could never get the state to remove the lien even after I got it taken care of. The state cant handle fixing its computers that trigger the "automation" of going after funds.
The system is a for profit, not no longer criminals support the system. Divorced men do. My state has legalized marijuana and gay marriage, maybe someday they can legalize being a divorced man.

Where the hell are the men in the judicial processes saying hell no we aren't allowing this nonsense unless it goes both ways?
It seems there is a culling of the male population period, between wars being created for men to die in, women protesting women going into the service, sperm banks to accumulate billions of sperm for future generations, and men of all races being incarcerated at super high percentages (this does not mean they commit most of the crimes), this has to make one suspicious.
Fyi, I'm a male therapist (going on 9 years) who works for a prominent psychologist and I will say without a doubt men are being hit on the head with a megaton hammer, period, for anything.
Either take a stand now, everyday, until you leave this place, or prepare for you and your male gender love ones to succumb to something you couldn't dream of.
Edit: spelling

lawyers make bank, and they know what's going on. They don't want their gravy train halted.

Your situation scares me so much. I'm getting to the age where marriage/kids are a possibility. I doubt I'll ever get married let alone even have kids. A sports car and a disposable income seem a lot more appealing.

Nothing like having your family, home, life ripped away from you because your spouse goes through mid life crisis. You either get lucky and they make it through without destroying everything, or you don’t. I have friends on both sides, couples who split and worked through it, and couples where one partner says fuck it and leaves, nuking the family from orbit.
Myself, the worst part was her not letting me see the kids, time after time of her being found for contempt of court. And her turning a child against me. Its hard when everything goes wrong, its "dads" fault, so the kid hears this over and over, so years of indoctrination that dad is a horrible person.
I only have 1 child left with her, the rest are adults. I see 2 of them regular for dinners and we hang out. I even have a grand child. The youngest so who still lives with her is very distant to me, the youngest daughter is moms best friend, mom bought her a car, and accepted the lie that dad was an abusive monster. She wont even speak to me. Hard to have one of your kids never talk to you, but shes being pawn for her mom.
Hard to trust any woman after being raped by the courts and state for years. I'd say it feels like I have PTSD sometimes over this, even a decade later I have hard times dealing with it.

You should scan the letter and black out personal info. I believe you but would love to see that horrible document.

Lucky the prison part isnt true in the UK.
If you dont pay child support , the government pays it.

To me, that's almost as scary.

Its bad for us taxpayers but at least single moms who work dont get screwed over.
Its the bags of shit who have never worked a day in their lives and keep producing children whilst claiming mansions and a weekly cheque I despise.
