here's some real numbers from a real story:

I know a guy (who shall remain unnamed) who's exwife managed to somehow get the court to make a judgement against him for $700 per child per month. He has 5 kids. This comes to $3500 a month in support. He had worked the same job for 18 years, and his gross monthly income was half that much. (small town) There's nothing he could do to suddenly double his income, which would cover the judgement but still leave him penniless. The court didn't care. The judgement stood. Obviously he couldn't pay, so they took everything he owned and put him in jail.

He lost everything. Home, car, job, and his freedom. All because of some greedy fucking bitch.

No one will ever convince me that the child support system is a good thing.
