[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50/50 has been an absolute godsend for a couple of women of my acquaintance who finally have the time to pursue career, meaningful and healthy relationships,  and their own health and well being.

Unfortunately the instances where a father fights for 50/50 to lower child support and then constantly flakes should be dealt with more harshly by the courts and penalized per diem in child support payments. [/quote]

Your constant Dad bashing is pathetic.  Many moms fight for full custody to get maximum child support and then don't spend it on the kids.  It goes both ways.  Its pathetic that the courts have zero accountability for child support and keep Dad's out of kids' lives as the other parent often manipulates the kids and situation for their best interests.[/quote]

It’s not Dad bashing. I have nothing but respect for the men who seek 50/50 and actually take 50% without excuses or constant flakiness.

The ones that realize their weekend includes Super Bowl Sunday and expect to be able to either switch or drop the kids back with mom by 2pm tomorrow? Nothing but contempt. [/quote]

Yes you are. Same post every time.  [/quote]

Do you think there should be consequences for men who don’t take their 50% if that’s what they sought in court?[/quote]

Yes, there are consequences, they lose custody.  However, there are no consequences if the Mom's don't spend the child support on the kids.[/quote]
If she’s buying food and clothes and providing a place to sleep, she’s spending child support on the kids. Or are you claiming it’s common for people to starve their kids, not give the clothes, and make them sleep outside?[/quote]

Or, what if her boyfriend pays the rent and the kids are going without clothes and they are on food stamps....[/quote]
