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.

It's not the system that creates the bureaucracies and government jobs - it's the irresponsible parents who fail to take care of the children they've created. It's sad all the way around. The children always suffer. The custodial parent frequently suffers because they see their child doing without. Friends of the non-custodial parent suffer too. They have to listen to the rantings of the person who feels the payments are unfair.
