No I would never do this but it was a hilarious idea to scam the system.
Couldn't you do this with any kind of purchases on a credit card?

If you have good enough credit to get a $40k limit, I wouldn't throw that credit away just to get out of paying $40k.

How often do you have your kid?

On the child support topic itself, I have seen people get screwed on both sides.

I have seen women who bear all of the expenses for raising the kid, and the deadbeat dad pays little or nothing.

I have seen women who hire sleazy lawyers to extract the maximum child support out of their ex husband, and then spend most of the money on themselves.

Personally I think there does need to be a cap on child support. There are gold diggers who target rich guys, have 1 or 2 kids, divorce them, and then are set for the next 18 years with hundreds of thousand of $ in "child support" payments per year (and in some cases, millions of dollars). Child support is a way to get around prenups, as prenups cannot contain child support restrictions.
