All that money the government pays for kids is taken away from the kids.
By not changing the law on custody, to a starting point at divorce where there is
A 50/50 split on everything. including shared custody.
This way the family does not have to fight the loosing battle in court.
If dads can get a right to raise the kids as much as mom there would be less divorce because it starts with selfishness and moms having all the rights to custody in court,
If it was fair there would be less selfish court time, and less divorce so the government wont be making more money in court and off Divorce to pay for the government funds for the kids,
in the end all we get is selfish hurting kids who are spoiled by the other parent trying to earn status Quo … to get custody to raise the children without the other parent… at the cost of the government and the loosing parent.
What is needed is….
Punishment for Alienation, and “Enforcement of Court Orders” without having to wait for a Trial”, … because then its to late and the kids have to decide, Who’s got more “Candy” … ? “Mom or Dad”? ……
