Presumably there is no way he will pay the full amount. So what can he do? I guess he'll have all of his assets emptied and then he will only work in places that will pay him in cash. I know that fathers who don't pay child support can be placed in debtors prison, but I don't think he can. Maybe if he moves to a foreign country that is nice to expats, and not too nice to the US, he could work and save up money there (Maybe UAE).

For those with no assets and no earning potential, the traditional move is to find a way onto the disability payroll. Bullies love that shit since it can't be garnished.

Otherwise, I assume he could write the whole thing off by declaring bankruptcy.

It's a default judgement. It will never get paid. They'll chase him around various jurisdictions to try to get it paid and then give up.
