It's ridiculous but in a way highlights something else that I personally feel is wrong in the way child support is calculated. If the non-residential family has the child on weekends / half-holidays...

The whole idea is totally absurd. Children need stability and continuity in their little lives, not to be passed around from parent to parent, daycare to daycare every bloody week. I have a friend...

I have no experience with child support of access visits etc etc by the way. I do have a friend who does the 50/50 already and the children are a mess because of it. They should either be with the...

I don't think 50/50 care works from the child's point of view either unless you are one of those couples who live next door to each other or both parties are willing to do everything around the...

Helen, I don't understand child support either. I don't understand why, after earning a certain amount, the other parent is required to pay less. The expenses don't go down, and if anything (with...

The only people this will work for is shutting the extremists fathers groups up. It is only to appease them.

Hunter, I'm not sure they'll ever be happy. They seem much happier playing 'victims' rather than actually doing anything proactive to achieve what they want. Once they have this they'll want something...

Not only that Sharalyn, they'll have to actually do the hard work of looking after their kids and taking responsibility for the people they will grow up to be .Gee I'm a cynical cow these last few...

It hasn't been approved and isn't going to be brought in as a legal requirement, I understand this new tribunal plan is being brought in for a trial period of two years, and it will "encourage"...

In that case, fair enough - but I was under the impression that this was the goal of family law as it stands? Have had no experience with 'the system' but I thought that this was the goal of the...

Yes EJ., exactly right! You are not insane at all. But it's been suggested that the Family Court, and the Family Court system, don't work towards that goal. The Family Court only gets the worst cases,...

The thing that annoys me with all this talk is that during the relationship/marriage there generally isnt a 50/50 division of childcare and responsibility. Most of the time, there is a SAHM but when...

My son's dad wouldn't agree to 50/50! He likes being the weekend, good-time parent. I reckon a lot of non-custodial parents would not want 50/50 anyway, especially if their kids are young and high...

Very good point xBethiex. If they're doing 50% of the work of raising kids while the parents are together then they deserve 50% of the care after the split but what dad is doing 50%??? I don't know...

Shared 50/50 can work and does work as long as both parents understand that each parent has their own thing to do, such as work etc.I have a friend who has been seperated from his wife for 2 years,...

Personally, I think the only way it may work well for the child is if it was the PARENT's who switched homes and left the kids where they were. I think it would be VERY unsettling for a child being...
