Child support, with its excessive awards and Draconian punishments, only serves to force noncustodial parents into exile, causing irreparable harm to children. Mothers usually tell me that child support is too low, not too high. But when I ask them if they'd be willing to give custody of the children to the father and pay him the exact amount of child support he is expected to pay her, they scream bloody murder. While our country spends billions collecting child support, virtually nothing is spent on visitation enforcement. Lack of accountability is a major reason that parents who can afford to pay child support don't.
Child support is tax-free income to the custodial parent.
It is assumed it will be spent on the children. Furthermore, no one ever asks custodial parents to prove they are contributing their fair share. This new child support program is nothing but a reimplementation of the same failed policy. The only change is that more of your tax dollars will be spent on yet another bureaucracy. We need to hold couples accountable for the children they have created.
