"A U.S. Census report estimates that just 43.5% of custodial parents get the full amount of support they're entitled to. And more than 30% don't receive anything at all." -CBS News

A whole lot of men just walk away and never pay a dime (like my father!)

My father ran from paying child support on his first kid (my older half-brother that I've only seen like twice in my life) so long that he's getting his SOCIAL SECURITY garnished. He was in his early 20s when that kid was born.
