Australia is just as fucked up, I'm not saying that men shouldn't have to pay child support but the system is weighted in favour of the woman in most cases
My accountant has joint custody of his kids but still pays in excess of 30% of his pre-tax income to his ex even though he has custody more than 45% of the time.
Every time I see his kids they are dressed in rags (otherwise they are very happy well adjusted kids) because the ex is planning on spending the next 13 years paying off her mortgage and building herself a nest egg.
