Both parents should equally contribute to caring for the child(ren). The parent taken to court for child support should only have to contribute half of what the other parent is contributing. If both parents provide a home for the child, housing expenses should not be considered, only the child's expenses, such as food, clothing, schooling, etc. child support should not be based on one parents income. It should be based on the needs of the child(ren) and split between both parents.
