unpaid child support
A friend of mine gained custody of his two kids
four years ago and has not recieved a dime of child support. He is a janitor and gets paid 9 dollars an hour. When his ex wife had custody he faithfully paid support. The judge has told him that because she is an alcoholic and has been through treatment, she does not have to pay support because it woud cause her an unjust hardship to deal with and could cause a relapse back into drinking. I'm thinking this is not a very just system we have. |

I wonder what the result would have been If the gender roles were reversed... |

I'm curious what state they live in...sounds like the same thing my husband's ex-wife was told about her thousands of dollars in past due child support. |
