Anti, I agree with you that the system sucks.

I have not been involved, however I have several mate who have been screwed by the system that in my view is run by man hatting women who get a kick out of kicking the guy when he's down.

As always, there is a solution and that is to treat all kids as equal. So much per week depending on thier age.

Of cause there are those who will be better off and those, worse, but, one can't expect the benefits a happy family provided when there is no happy family.

As it stands, if mum meets a nice guy who is loaded and provides for both her and the kids, dad still has to fork out a % of his wage, but, if dad gets a better paid job and mum stays at home, then dad gets screwed and, if dad looks like having a 'win', then often the kids are used as a tool against him.

I am also of the opinion that if the father of a one night stand wishes to not be involved, esspecially when the mother has several partners, then he should not be financially responsible. But that's just me.

rehctub,I think everyone knows the system sucks, except those doing the sucking.

If Rudd had spent $900 per taxpayer on fixing the child support scheme instead of just for propping up Harvey Norman's profits the net benefit to the country would have been huge. Even if he'd simply funded a child endowment scheme based on my model, the $900 that bought most people a new TV could have paid for that endowment for 4 years.
