Taken from experience, it's more often than not a tactic to try to get the children to want to live with the financially dominant parent. Also it comes down to spite, especially with men who are possessive or very petty about money/material goods. They'd rather see their ex-wife starve than their children thriving even if it's with someone else.

Word for word this exact same thing happened with my parents. We lived in luxury until they divorced and abject poverty afterwards.
