So.. basically, my boyfriend has a 6 year old son. His Ex Girlfriend tricked him into getting her pregnant by not taking her birth control. As soon as she found out she was pregnant, she ran to the police and accused him of rape. They went to court and he was acquitted of a charge because she kept contradicting herself.
But he still has to pay child support. Which was fine when he used to work as a cook. They calculated a child support of 930 bucks per month, according to his salary. But a few years later, he decided to take on a second apprenticeship as a car mechanic. Which obviously means less money, so in theory he should've paid less child support. But because he's doing an apprenticeship and can't pay child support due to his minimal salary, she got her child support paid by the state? (don't know what its called in english).
Long story short - he owes the state about 23'000 bucks. Even though he let them know that he took on a second apprenticeship that doesn't even pay 930 bucks per month. They told him it doesn't matter because she got the advanced child support from the state when he used to earn a lot more.
Is there anything we can do? I feel like this just isn't right. My boyfriend definitely did the wrong thing by ignoring it for so long, but is there anything we can do now?
(We're based in Switzerland... so I know the law isn't exactly the same as in the US, but I feel like things just aren't right here.)
