[/quote] :confused: I'm talking about the cost of providing for the child, not the mother. Housing for 2 costs more than housing for 1. Food for 2 costs more than food for 1. I realize there are cases where the father gets screwed. There are cases where the mother gets screwed. I never said it was a perfect system ;) I stand by the statement following the block you quoted, that very often the father's actions, and not hsi gender, is what causes him to be screwed. Not always. But very often. On the other hand, very often the father completely gets away with being a total bastard. What can you do... As for the next quote - surely things will vary by state, and surely a judge's interpretation will come in to play at times, but the formulas are there. Good lawyers will always find loopholes, and the custody arrangement will be a very big factor. But they are there ;) I'm sure everyone knows a father who has been screwed by the courts and/or the mother, and I'm sure everyone knows a mother who has also. But the bigger picture, in my experience is not as one sided as is being presented by the people involved in this lawsuit who are essentially looking for the freedom to be irresponsible without consequence.
