- Quitting work intentionally (considered evasion), transferring property to relatives before the case, working secretly while claiming unemployment, new marriage to lower maintenance, and false illness claim.
- Do reductions affect child support?
- Children's basic maintenance does not fall below a reasonable floor. Their right to a dignified life is preserved, and the judge balances the father's capacity and children's needs. Reduction usually does not affect child support.

- Postponing some arrears until solvency, scheduling payment in smaller installments, partial reduction not full, help from relatives in the difficult period, and paying arrears after solvency.
