My own feeling is that the children you have first should have first priority and that both people in a relationship need to be held responsible for those children.
One of the difficulties is the irresponsible group (and I have no idea how large it is but it does exist) who try to minimise their incomes so as to stop paying child support. They are not thinking about the children of course but the fact that they do not wish to pay their ex-partner anything. I have seen this happen.
Mothers do not always make the best custodial parent either...in fact there are times when the children would be better off in the care of someone else altogether.
It is toughest of all on the children who often end up feeling as if they are to blame (and indeed I have heard parents blame their kids for the break up of a marriage..."if you hadn't have been such a b...nuisance I'd still of been married to your Dad." What a thing to land on a kid as emotional baggage.)
