[quote=Anonymous]So what happens is a case where underachieving Dad runs off with his AP, moves out, files divorce and sticks Mom with the kids, working full-time and all the bills? Dad only wants every other weekend, and sticks Mom with all the work, responsibility, and cost of raising 3+ kids? And the child support that underachieving dad will pay is barely a drop in the bucket to help raise the kids. Completely unfair. What if Mom doesn't want this crappy arrangement, and also only wants to be an every other weekend parent, with no responsibility for anyone but herself? What is she also just wants a small 2 BR condo that doesn't quite fit the kids, and has no clothes, food, toys, for the kids? What does the court do in this case? Is there any way for the court to actually make Dad be a "real" parent and not a near deadbeat Disney Dad? Why does the Mom basically get forced into the role of Single Mom?[/quote]
