Or the payer of support finds ways to "hide" income or they put in less effort and earn less knowing that some of it goes towards child/spousal support.
Thats probably more accurate. I knowi work a lot less now than i did a decade ago because i have built up a nest egg and there is no point incrementally destroying my health, work life balance, etc. When the greasy government is taking half. The incremental value is not there vs non taxed uses of my time like raising my children.
