Rarely do fathers "walk away from their children and not pay support", especially where the children were of a marriage and subsequent divorce situation.

Well Mr. DNA, rarely do men rape other men, rarely do women rape other women, rarely do women run over their dentist husbands with their cars repeatedly.... Are you suggesting none of these perpetrators should be punished for their behavior? I don't think how often something occurs is the issue so much as the fact that it does occur and saying it's ok is not the answer. What is your solution to irresponsible behavior that is harmful to our children?

The frequency or lack thereof is a legit issue, because the idea that men/fathers are deadbeats by default results in mistreatment of the majority who are not. That is why the rarity/frequency element matters.

My solution? Mandated joint residential child custody between all biological mothers and fathers not proven criminally unfit. Then child support issues disappear, because each parent pays the bills that arise during their equal parenting time. Of course, medical bills and such might require mediation to divide.

What is your solution to irresponsible behavior that is harmful to our children?

The heartless ideologues have the same social-Darwinist solution for any ill which harms our society and our children, whether it be divorce, abortion, adultery, pornography, drug abuse, or sodomy:

"Who cares? So what? Too bad!"

Compared to noncustodial women, "rarely do men" walk away from their child support payment requiements.

Yet, women regularly get a pass, with the occasional "well, they should pay too, I guess" style halfhearted token statement, while men are demonized mercilessly.
