It won't happen..............it is very rare the systems will adjust payments down when the support paying parent has a change in financial status.

I know it's not being done. The point is that it should be. Sweden tried the US style reforms, and eventualy abandoned them because it overwhelmed their state collection system, and they didn't see good reason for it. The "backlash" from the experience is that Sweden now has presumptive joint custody and is revamping its welfare and what is effectively the equivalent of dependent tax credits so that everything is shared between mothers and fathers.

I agree, it should be done.

All the system here does is create more bureaucracies and government jobs...........but ignores the true victims of the system..........the children.

Because there are cases of both the custodial and/or non-custodial parent abusing the system, those that don't are the ones that suffer.
