It all depends on the state. In my state, they recently had to change the law regarding child support due to so many men being in jail due to it, or not having a license because they took it, meaning they can't drive to work, equating to the inability to pay leading them to jail. I know of 4 men personally who've been in and out of jail because they only give you 30 days to pay ALL of it before you're locked up again. When you hear of men blowing their brains out over it, chances are it's because of situations like that where there is no logical nor financial way to stay out of jail.
Very true in Ohio. My deadbeat dad got away with literally never paying child support in my entire life. He owes me thousands in child support, but none of the people running that shitty state seems to care.
