This problem will only be prolonged as long as attorneys, and family courts are making money off of the extortion racket. And make no mistake about it. It "is" a racket.It is related. If you notice; the overwhelming tone to this conversation centers around the woman having custody of the child. Which family courts overwhelmingly seem to favor. If the children were just as likely to be given to the fathers, as they are the mothers... The conversation regarding child support would change drastically.I agree. And more, and more men are finally waking up, and not getting married.Its just as common for the woman to cut loose with the full expectation of getting custody, in hopes of trading up, and extorting the ex for all he's worth.
Lots of varying scenarios... But women file for %80 of divorces, and usually get the kids. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how the deck is stacked.
It barely takes common sense to know how to avoid it.
Which of course has nothing to do with either having kids- or child support.
Now if more and more men would financially support the children they have fathered- that would be great- regardless of whether they marry or not.
Well we are men, and so therefore there is no one taking our cause. Anyone doing so is going to be immediately attacked and called sexist or misogynist
Despite the fact that 88% of the population agrees that joint custody is preferred, only 14% of cases result in equal custody and a whopping 75% average end up with the mother.
Less than 10% of contested cases does the father win. But nothing is going to change that anytime soon as again, any leading figure who takes it up will be crushed by the media and woman's/feminist groups everywhere.
And BTW - I raised both of my children, so no I am not a butthurt deadbeat.
Central to this racket, is the transfer of funds from the bread winner, through (this particular word is key) the family courts, and to the less financially capable parent.
All under the banner of " the best interest of the child". Which in family courts translates into "the largest transfer of funds". Because that's what its really all about. They don't give two shits about either the parents, or the kids. Its all about the money...
