Household's have a leader/head. If the woman is given sole custody, then she is the one speaking on behalf of that household, right?

Why should the child have to lose out though? They didn't agree to the risk. Are you saying that you would rather a child have to survive on a single parent income?
Rei Murasame wrote::lol: Do children have the competence to sign a contract? Why the hell should I care whether the child agrees or not?
I believe Rei (and many others) believe that the state should pay people who raise children full time as they are doing one of the mos important jobs in the nation. So it isn't a binary choice between two incomes or impoverishment.
Oh, so we ALL have to pay child support?

1. If I wasn't taxed so highly, I'd be able to save more of my income and support myself in retirement.
2. My children could support me in the traditional extended family model.
3. I have a private pension anyway.
4. The government should not be spending my pension money, that is immoral.
In any event this model is never going to last. In order for it to work you'd need a constantly growing population which will need to grow faster every generation. It's not sustainable on a national level and sure aint sustainable on a global level.

Okay, I'll say it unvarnished: Children have no say. They have no say in anything, and ought to be seen and not heard.
Ever heard of Child Benefit?
