Even worse, they're often awarded more than the man is even able to pay. Take a man with variable income (sales job, for example), then estimate his income based on his best month. Now he has to pay 75% of that income to his ex, which may go well above what he actually earns. Add on lawyer fees and taxes and he's in the hole every month. This is how you can have men working upper middle class salaries but being broke or in massive debt. Not all cases are this bad, but it's still a nationwide injustice.

Yeah, I've seen that.
My uncle was running from the law long after his kids were adults. No way he could pay what they asked.
It was punitive more than anything. His kids were fine, his wife long remarried.
