makes you wonder why they don't make the married couples pay a fixed amount of "support" every month towards the kids. Require them to spend a specific amount each and every month on the kids and live on $900 a month. Why not? They make the father do it after a split, so why not during the marriage? Are the kids not entitled to that until after a divorce?

The exhorbitant amounts these courts require every month never fails to blow my mind. And zero regard for the father that now has to live in his car at a rest area on the freeway and dine on potato chips every night because it's all he can afford. He wasn't dining on potato chips & rice cakes during the marriage. Were the kids starving? Probably not in most cases.
