+1. Even now when there is 50/50 custody child support is only awarded when the difference in salary is enough to warrant it, and things like health insurance, childcare, and uncovered medical are all split proportionally based on income (when salaries are equal, each parent pays 50%).

Granted, I tend to laugh a little when men (particularly white men) complain about the laws, because the laws were written, implemented, and interpreted in the courts by white men. They weren't written and passed to protect women or children, they were written by men, to further their interests. Child support wasn't enforceable until fairly recently either (the ability to track the location of someone ordered to pay came with the implementation of technology over the past 20 years or so), and now that it's enforceable I find it funny that men suddenly actually want responsibility for their children.
