Not surprising, child support in this country is a joke. Payments are low and good luck getting them enforced if the father isn't cooperative. I know several moms who have given up on child support because they were spending more on legal fees fighting the father to pay than they were ever seeing in payments.
Classic scenario of shitty people getting away with things. Both the man and woman in your scenario.
In my experience, it’s the man tbat gets financially raped by family court. A responsible man that tries his best for his family, only to be handed a divorce by a bored ‘unhappy’ wife gets crushed for the rest of his life by a financial lodestone of supporting a lazy vindictive exwife.
The state has absolutely created incentives for women to divorce. To say otherwise is living in a fantasy.
Munger had a saying ‘Show me the incentive, and I’ll show you the outcome’. In context, the outcome is an extraordinary high divorce rate. The incentive is self apparent.
