I find that even the angriest of them usually feel pretty foolish when I put all the tax returns together and they see how much money they just threw away.
Most do seem to see the how stupid it is to effectively throw money away. I mean, why give it to the government when it could go towards reducing the arrears they owe and at least give them some benefit? Either, they are not getting it so they might as well get something out of it. But I have met some that have told me straight out they don’t care that it might help reduce their arrearage, they just don’t want their ex to get even so much as a penny from them, even indirectly. Never mind that the money is meant to provide support for their kid, they see it as going to the ex and they hate the ex so much that they allow it to destroy their lives.
