Critics of child support, such as father's rights groups, complain that in most US states, and the United Kingdom, there is no requirement that the child support money be used for the child. Barring unusual circumstances, most jurisdictions do not require accountings on the request of a child support payor. The custodial parent also has a duty to support the children, yet in countries like Canada, it has been shown that "over a wide range of reasonable assumptions, the [custodial parent] does not financially contribute to the support of the children but in fact receives a net wealth transfer from the system." Child support amounts are considerably higher than the costs of raising children.
