The man, surnamed Li, from central China’s Henan province, met his ex-wife, surnamed Wang, who is also from Henan, while working in Shenzhen in 2013.
Wang soon fell pregnant and went back to their hometown. Li sent her most of his salary every month. They married in 2015 and registered the child under Li’s household.
The couple divorced in 2018, and Li got custody of their daughter.
Wang promised to pay him 500 yuan (US$70) in alimony every month, but often fell behind with the payments.
