[quote=Anonymous]Child support is for the child.  If you are looking to support the spouse after divorce, it is alimony.  Don't mix the two.

Many Dad's like my husband would have been thrilled for primary custody.

Don't things like being the primary shopper and doing other basic tasks does not make you the primary parent.  My husband has never been a shopper.  I take care of it for everyone, including him.  He is just as capable as I am, but its easier for me to just get him and the kids clothing if I am out shopping as none of them like to go.

Child support is not a huge incentive for why the laws need changed.  They need to be changed to allow Dads who are good parents and want to parent their children to have that opportunity.  If you want your boys to become men who care for their kids, they need that example.  If you want daughters to see that men can and will take care of their children, your daughters need that example too.  Having every other week visits is not the same as parenting.  Those same CP then complain about the lack of involvement in their child's life by the other parent and complain about the workload of being the sole parent.  You cannot have it both ways.  Kids benefits from having their Dad's involved.[/quote]
