A serious problem for the government is how to get demotivated men to pay for children they have been excluded from, and often are never allowed to see. The Child Support Agency was setup to obtain money from excluded and absent fathers. Fathers report that CSA pressure comes just at a time when they are getting over the loss of a wife and coming to terms with their situation of spending a lifetime in slavery without their children. For many this is too much to bear. Since the agencies start in 1991 there have been 45 suicides of fathers and children directly attributed to the CSA pressure.
Fathers report serious depressions which can last for years.
Work motivational level plummets and some lose their jobs. It is frequently reported that fathers are left with large debts on credit cards and loans to pay. During this period of high vulnerability some fathers report being involved in further disputes with friends, family, neighbours, and acquaintances. Some fathers report being involved in a work or car related accident, perhaps as a result of stress. Many men now consider the state to be their enemy.
