In Texas, both parents are required to support their children.
It does not matter what he wants, if a judge orders him to pay child support, he will have to pay child support.
You can visit my blog to read about how child support is the obligation that never goes away!
It's not dischargeable by bankruptcy. There is 6% interest. It will ruin his credit. It becomes part of his estate if he dies. If he does not pay it - it will come out of his Social Security payments when he retires.
