Wow, just watched this show called "First Week In" on Discovery channel. Had it on as background noise until I saw that this guy was jailed for not paying alimony and child support to his wife. Not that he couldn't pay, but the amount was more than what he brings home each month!
Few months ago a wrestling coach at the high school near by was arrested for the same thing. At the time he was working a sales job and making a good living and quit to just be a teacher and coach, so his income was 1/4 what it used to be, but he was HAPPY. However the court system decided that he would still have to pay what he made 6 months ago. Now he got let go from his job and makes NO money instead of some.
Looking into this more, the woman can decide to change the amount or deny the claim. Women - what the fuck is your problem? Why would you send a guy to jail because he couldn't pay you thousands of dollars for you to sit around and shop?
IMO, we need harsher rules on women in this day and age. For instance, you fake a rape you go to jail for 20 years. Abuse child support or alimony, you pay back 200% and if you can't, you work it off in jail.
I'm not a sexist by any means, but this countries court system is fucked! Glad I had a prenup before I got married, but now thinking about it, may just be better to get her to sign a divorce paper when she is drunk and never tell her
