at some point custodial parents need to step up and do what's necessary to collect the money owed to their children even though it's a painful process
Can't squeeze blood out of a rock.
I've seen cases where the non-custodial parent just quit their job and moved every time the custodial parent attempted to collect. Or, just flat our refused to earn any income - they literally preferred to be impoverished to assisting in child-rearing expenses.
At some point, it's overall easier to pretend that non-custodial parent doesn't exist and move on with your life.
That's a lot of speculation. We don't who know whether any of those circumstances applied in this particular case because the journalist was too lazy to include key facts in the story.
I never claimed that there's always a route to collecting support so quit lying and trying to put words in my mouth. My claim is that the article is badly written because it omitted relevant details about support. What happened to your family member is irrelevant to this article.
