I was just chatting with a friend in court today. Divorced ladies have it tough, if their ex-husband refuses to pay the maintenance money to their ex-wife. Maintenance, includes maintenance for children, and maintenance for wife. The right thing to do is to enforce the order. But if the amount of maintenance is too small then the ex-wife is not likely to find a lawyer to enforce it for her. The solution is to follow the UK and make the ex-husband pay the maintenance money to the government. The government in turn gives an equal amount to the ex-wife. If the ex-husband does not pay, the government goes after him. But irregardless of whether he does (or does not) pay, the wife can still collect from the government. In turn she signs papers allowing the government to collect the amount due to her under the divorce order.
This would solve so much time and trouble. I also think that ex-husbands would not run away so easily from their obligations.
