Is Child Support Fair

Is child support really fair? This has been a question around for years but has never really been taken care of. Is it fair……Of course not! What make something fair when they take everything a way from one parent and give the other a way of improving her/his status in life. Why is it whomever makes more money doesn't get the child. Is this right because I would expect the child living with the parent that makes enough to sustain him/herself better and the child at the same time would be better suited because they could help the child progress more, and would open there world up a whole lot more. It's like I'm going to send my child to the one with no playground, no money, and horrible teachers in stead of sending my child to the one with all the perks for the same price and it'll better suited for my Childs complete growth. Seriously look at the big picture here. One parent can always offer a child a better life than the other. Its not fair giving them a percentage to pay based on gross instead of your net pay. For one you will never see your gross in your check so that's just stupid. Even in tax time you'll never see that money. Then on top of that percentage they can with hold more for daycare expenses, school expenses like sports equipment ect.. So now that nice percentage has probably gone up another 10% or more depending. Then the parent paying child supports expenses for themselves to survive like there home whether that be a house or apartment, there insurance for yourself so you can stay healthy, you assortment of bills such as phone to keep in contact with the rest of the world, some people need internet for work purposes, and cable. What about your car note and insurance. What about property taxes, school taxes, heat, electric, and hot water bill. These are all normal day expenses for the average working person. Why is that none of this get's taken into consideration. But the parent that has custody of the child all of that is taken into consideration. It destroys one parent and lifts the other ones status up to the point where sometimes the other parent never has to work again. Prime example Brittney Spears and K'Fed case. He is living way beyond his means to take care of his kids. Does a kid really need over a 6 figure judgment to be taken care of. By the time those kids are 18 the accumulated income is going to be out of this world. Again not fair when child support make one parent to not have to work or barely work to provide for there children it's not right. Why are people that have done so much to be able to take care of there family be punished. Why do people feel that a parent should get everything taken away from them. What does it give them when the child comes to stay with this parent you just took everything from. Can that parent afford to not work 7 days a week and all sorts of crazy shifts just to provide for himself and when he's with the child. Does it cut off more contact with the child because now that parent has to work and be stressed out and drained working over 40 hours a week with no breaks in the near future. Yes it destroys the link between the child and that parent. Look you are taking the ability to be a parent from the other parent by taking every dime they have because they make more. Then they are reduced to someone who make minimum wage. And if you already have these bills before these child support orders why are they not taken into consideration if the other parent can't afford to provide a roof over the Childs head it's simple there are no gray areas that parent should have that child and the other parent should not have to take there hard earned money to pay for a roof over someone else's head. That's just stupid! What makes these laws constitutional when a parent is suffering and being taken advantage of. Is this fair to all the Non-Custodial parents in this world it is now the time to speak up that we aren't dead beats we are great parents that want to be there for our children. There need to be a change or for one I can tell you right now that there will be more issues with deaths over child support. This system beats you down to nothing basically to the point where you simple civil liberties aren't' at your on discretion anymore but the system. Help me and the rest of the new group of Non-Custodial parents it's our time to fight back!
