That's not the point though.

You're not supporting HER, you're supporting the child.
If you're single then it costs you "X" amount of money to live. (rent, food, clothes, etc)

Now add to that amount how much more it would cost you if you had full custody of your child. (Extra food, extra person on the health insurance, baby clothes, etc etc)
That "extra" amount is what the child support is for, and the father should only pay "his share" of that amount, not the full thing.
