No. You have failed to meet your obligations to your children.You will still have to pay the full balance and will have an orderto garnish your wages placed on your employer. You will also beliable for court fees.Think about this you are a father, you brought children into theworld, you are responsible for looking after them if you have themeans to do so (which you obviously do!), this responsibility ISNOT that of the taxpayer, many of taxpayers are struggling toprovide for the OWN children without having to be taxed extra topay for you deliberately shirking your responsibilities.You may have had a disastrous break up with the children'smother BUT the children are still yours, you must not walk awayfrom your responsibilities to them, no matter how annoying this mayseem to you.
