Child support laws NEED revising. We have so many double standards; a system that punishes parents who have sought out a better workplace or education and rewards parents that haven't; a system that makes a profit off of money that's supposedly "for the kids"; a system that treats obligors of child support as non-custodial parents regardless if they share custody 50% or not; etc., etc. There is no law or rule that forces a recipient parent of child support to spend the money on the children. That parent can stuff that money away and never share it with the kids if he/she chooses to. That parent can spend that money on anything they choose; new jewelry or clothing for themselves, gambling money, cigarettes. It doesn't matter.
