The way that the welfare and child support system in this country is portrayed is laughably inaccurate. There is no way a single mother working a part time job with 2 minors wouldn't qualify for welfare. Also, child support orders are basically a one-way ticket to prison if you don't pay, so the fact they had no way to locate him or enforce the order is completely unrealistic. If she had his social security number and he worked anywhere, they would be able to locate him. This movie was trying to hype the drama to 100 by creating this implausible scenario that makes no sense at all.
