They could avoid all those things if the just paid what they owe. I’m not sure about California but in Illinois if you lose your job or have a significant loss of income you can go back to court and get your child support reduced.
Most states make you show up to 6 months of lost income before you can make a change.
It is getting better, but divorced dads have been getting fucked for decades (nothing to do with race or reparation, just in general).
Kind of like this.
Maybe, but there are a lot of weasels that can afford to pay but just don’t want to. My sister and brother in law own a few businesses in Arizona and half the guys that apply to their roofing company asked to be paid under the table.
