Sadly there exists the other possibility. Mom and husband try to "work it out" but decide later that it just isn't happening. Husband then decides he isn't so accepting of the child after all and leaves never to see or speak to the child again. Either way you look at is, this poor kid is stuck in a crummy situation and all the adults here can concern themselves with is money. All of these people need to be kicked in the seats of their pantsBe sure to remind the Court that only God can judge you for non-payment of child support.
(Anyone still want to pretend that the child won't be better off without him?)
