I was going on Doug's original post..He said he never seen nor paid child support. If he had a care in the world at all for the child, he would of fought for the child. Its a sad tale none the less
You're right. It does make sense. I've seen situations where the parents sort of feed each other's effedupedness. Where one parent refuses access unless support is paid, so then the other refuses to pay because they feel they've a right to see the child which results in denied access which results in...
Situations where agreements better worked out in courtrooms are done in sweeter times which go bad. Situations where the money goes directly to the mum's hair, nails, and outfits leading to the dad cutting off payments. Situations where it's done just because.
You know my line of work...so I've learned to be a bit skeptical of everything. It's definitely made me wary of having children, marriage, etc.

I love you even though you have pointy knees.
