The current lack of accountability allows CS to serve as backdoor alimony, which in turn is the cornerstone of the current corrupt system. How would you remediate that legislatively?

Get rid of the federal legislation on child support that's been created since 1975. Return to the constitution.

More specific about the effects:

The beginning of the end of child support reform

And more specifically:

Recommendations for Modification of Child Support Guidelines and Reform of their Use Corresponding to the Views of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court

Specific State Example:

Recommendations for Improvement Of Child Support Law In the State of Virginia

I'm strongly in favor of getting the feds out of just about everything, including legislating CS standards. One of my main beefs with most FR groups is their seemed desire to federalize things even more. They want to promote joint placement, so they attack it on the federal level, meaning they give the federal legislators reason to stick their noses where they don't belong.

Return to the constitution.

And what would be the Constitutional approach to custody determinations?

[GoLightly]

Roger, with respect to the proposed changes of Virginia's statutes, I see the provisions for *voluntary* unemployment & under employment are excluded.

Follow me here. A custodial parent chooses to quit working to have another child. Not only is is a paying non-custodial parent going to get a negative impact due to additional financial obligations in the other household (an extra mouth to feed), but they get a second hit due to the voluntary unemployment or under-employment by the other parent.

Am I missing something?
