[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shared custody should be the default absent reasons not to do it. Child support should be based on what the kid(s) need and who makes what. [/quote]

+1. I’m all for it. When mothers presume they are more worthy of custody it really bugs me. [/quote]

They are more worthy of custody because they carry and gave birth to the child.  Also because we live in a country without guaranteed paid maternity leave and feeerr protections for pregnant women or women with young children.  So this means women are affected more by having children than men.  Now you're saying women should take unpaid leave and hurt their careers by having children but then if they get divorced should have to pay 50 percent of the costs.  [/quote]

Sorry but no. DH and I both took maternity and paternity leave. Choose an equal marriage. Women and men should each provide for their own households and own expenses after marriage. Kid's expenses should be split equally. This isn't the 1950s, women have the ability to make the same amount as men. [/quote]
