[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there is a double standard for men in these situations.

"society" in general expects a man to pay money to the woman after divorce. The woman typically feels entitled to it. Men who go after their ex for money are looked upon a mean and vindictive.
Women who go after men for child support are seen as protecting their kids and standing up for themselves.

I wouldn't say he is weak but he is trapped by gender roles.

About the only people in society who don't see the ex wife as a victim entitled to what ever she can get from the ex husband is the new wife of the husband.[/quote]

Yep, you can see the double standard in the responses here vs. if this were a wife with custody and her ex wasn’t paying. Advice would be to garnish his wages and go after him for all he’s worth. [/quote]

For me, the mitigating factor is the mental illness.  He is maintaining status quo that is far healthier for his children than it could be if his EX goes deeper into her mental illness. [/quote]
