The point is not to reward the parents for separating and for divorcing.
The Child Support and Custody laws are meant to hurt the separated parents and to make the custodial parent as comfortable and provided, and it is creating a dysfunctional society, where single parents are rewarded and profits while the separated parents are alienated from their children.
It is wrong of the laws to make divorce as easy and comfortable and practical and that process is failing by undermining the foundation of our society.
It is NOT our place and NOT the place of government to hold parents accountable to each other or to their children - unless their is actual violent physical abuse of the other parent or of the child.
The problem is that you and the law have determined to hold parents accountable when that is way out of line.
If we truly were rightly determined to hold the parents as responsible then each of us and the law needs to get out of their personal business.
