True

We don't really have a provision for alimony over here (although so people are awarded certain amounts considered to be over and above what might be for the kids),...

PA doesn't have alimony, as some states do, but there is a provision for support during a court approved training/schooling plan, to reenter the workforce. However, even that's irksome when she's living with her paramour, more so when you're supporting them both.

... The non custodial parent is required to pay child support though, and if they have troubles handing it over, wages are garnished and so forth.

Same here.
