What’s funny is that I have a female friend whose life was almost completely ruined by child support SHE has to pay. Sometimes the door swings both ways. I don’t think blaming marriage or divorce or whatever is the key here. We need some serious thought on the institution of child support and divorce courts.
One of my brother's who is a member in the bitter bachelors club is a strong advocate of shared custody.
AKA 50/50 custody.
I have pointed out a thousand times how that is an unworkable solution. It assumes that both parents will cooperate, but still does not address the fact that the kids are no better off living one week with mom, the next with dad.
