Last night on NPR a government employee with a divorce settlement in which child support is awarded from each paycheck said he is now in arrears, and that once in arrears in that court system it is a horrible mess to untangle. That times many thousands of employees, people paying all of their usual monthly payments, paying co-pays, all of that is put on hold if the companies they owe will be gracious about it. If not, they're shit out of luck.
