I am the product of divorced parents. They split when I was 16 so I was able to choose which parent I went with and after witnessing the blatant lies that my mom accused of my dad in order to reap as much money out of him as she possibly could it was a pretty easy choice for me. I couldn't believe some of the stuff she said. I offered to testify on behalf of my dad but he wouldn't let me because he didn't want us (me and my brothers) caught in the middle. I came from a wealthy family so the money my mom got from my dad was more than sufficient to keep her going so the amount she was asking for child support was a bit obscene. Because of this experience I obviously have a bias, but I definitely agree that this needs a serious looking at. Eventually me and both my brothers ended up living with my Dad and my Mom didnt have to pay any support because she had no income. They've been divorced for 5 years and she has yet to have a job for more than a month.
