When a couple with children gets a divorce, it's inevitable for the question of child support to come up.
And while it's possible for both parents to come to an agreement about what seems like a fair contribution to a household's expenses, we often hear about cases where the one on the hook for these payments either vanishes completely or coughs them up extremely begrudgingly.
