“alimony disguised as child support” what nonsense. $400 a month is not alimony. These moms with their little office jobs need the help and the dads that end up going to jail go because they REFUSE not just can’t pay. There is a difference.

Sometimes you just have to refuse. My ex went off with a new internet love shack up and when I filed for divorce asked the judge in a hearing for $1000 a month living exense since she had no job. The judge ordered me to give her the money over my argument her toyboy needs to foot her bills or she needs to work. My only source of living was my VA disability benefit and I told the judge I wasn’t giving that to her, but she was welcome to hit up federal court for a portion of my disability. The judge was POd but knew he could not order me to pay disability benefit to her. I just asked him whether she should get my shell fragment percentage for my chest, shoulder or legs. I ignored the order till everything finalized (she ended up with no alimony).
Undoubtedly that’s true...but many can’t pay because as soon as they are released and before they can try to find a job, the cops re-arrest them for not paying (while they were in prison for not paying the first time). For some men it may be a racket...they get so prison habituated...as soon as they get out, they go to the cops and say...arrest me again, I haven’t paid my child support. So they end up in prison again. Now how is that helpful to families he need child support?
