My gut is telling me he is not paying what he should in child support, but would rather pay for an atty to keep him out of jail and still be allowed to harass the ex. Meanwhile, she is not getting full child support and also has to pay for an atty.
Then she moves, gets full physical custody, making his child support to go up, she moves in her fiancé, who also is earning, and maybe won't even marry him until Dylan is 18. He feels screwed blued and tattooed, and made a fool of. He's never really cared about any of his boys, so he wants/needs to get out of this final legal obligation. He's tired, worn, depressed, enraged. Get Dylan. Never return him.
Just hypothetical, but makes sense. Imo
