[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes it is fair. And I read your other whiny post. It seems like you didn’t think through the reality of divorce and the impact on being a single parent with a single income. Child support is not meant to cover every single expense related to your children. It is a portion and you also must be contributing a portion. You can’t pretend your situation has not changed both in term so financial impact and career impact. I always warn friends who are thinking of divorce to really think it through and understand what is going to happen and what their situation will really be post divorce.[/quote]

There's at least one guy on this board who always posts as if divorce is 100% the woman's fault, and that any woman with sole custody must have somehow done coersive witch magic to get it.

In my experience, it is much more common for the man to bail on the kids, at least for some short period of time. Often this happens in cycles, as his personal life waxes and wanes. So sometimes he wants the full 50% and sometimes he just kind of drops away for a while. Meanwhile, the XW has to manage the kids' feelings about their father's cyclical lack of interest, as well as doing the vast majority of the parenting.
