When we were waiting for our turn in court, the woman before us was granted a divorce without her husband being present. She was not interested in pursuing support. The judge acted like she was nuts. He awarded the state's required minimum support order. In our state, you have to pay a minimum amount (although it is not very much) no matter what.
In many cases, if the NCP doesn't pay support, the CP ends up on assistance - from a public policy standpoint, it doesn't make sense to let the NCP get away without paying, because it often means that you and I are supporting the children through our taxes.

I just did my taxes, and I am supporting a bunch of folks by my taxes, if I look at federal, state and payroll taxes alone, I'd say a number of people are living quite well at my expense.
That doesn't even take into consideration, sales, property, excise and motor fuel taxes I pay after all the others are taken out.
I don't even get a Christmas card from all these folks I'm supporting, LOL
