| Topic | How would you reform the child support system? |
| ChromaticAngel 05/03/17 2:18:09 PM #62: | TheBestPostr posted... both sides should be held accountable. Basically, it's messed up to just arbitrarily decide that the man *always* has to pay Whoever has custody of the child gets paid. When men win custody, they can hit the mother up for child support and they'll get it most of the time. And the courts aren't necessarily biased against men in custody cases either. While women usually end up with custody, it turns out that the majority of the time men don't even ask for custody. If you study cases where men actually demanded / fought for custody, you'd find that it's very closely split down the middle that the man wins custody. It's just that men for the most part realize that not having to raise a kid + being out money is probably a better deal than raising a kid + being out money that you'd spend on the kid. My main issue is you have no control what it's spent on. I'd feel a lot better about child support if it was itemized like a business expense. I don't feel like anyone should have to cut someone a check for a child that they instead spend on cigarettes. Hell. I'd even be down for making CS payments into a hedge fund for when the kid turns 18 they can use to go to college or some shit. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
