Pro se. Its two words. It means they are each representing themselves. The parents are their own lawyers.What does it mean? It means that when the case is closed, the parents are still representing themselves.

You understand that the 'll just quit my job and not care about the circumstances and he'll never see another penny, so take it or leave it" bluff won't work. If he's been on non-speaking terms with you, he won't give a damn if you live on the street either. And tada! amazingly enough not working doesn't stop your support from going further into arrears. The best you may be able to do is to negotiate on the interest being charged on it going forwards, but that won't affect the interest already owed. Again how is it his fault you bought expensive shoes and spent money other ways instead of making more payments towards the arrears? Do kids "need" those? no. And if the kids lived with you more days than were specified in the original custody + support agreements is it somehow your ex's fault you didn't petition the court to change your current support? no. And falling further behind because you started your own business wasn't his fault either. This is money he laid out for his portion of the care of the children. I guess now at least you can understand why many men are bitter about child support, and what the courts do to them.
