A situation I hope never to be in - trying to figure out who pays who for child support in a divorce. Jean Hopfensberger writes in the Sunday paper about new child support rules introduced last year that takes into account the incomes of both former spouses, not just the non-custodial one.

Mothers rights groups say it punishes the custodial parent - 90 percent of whom are women - and creates a perverse dis-incentive to work since mothers who work harder and make more money will see child support go down. Dads’ groups say even with the new formula, their portion of child support is still too high. 

Lots of Mad Dads commenting. At least, I think they’re dads from the nature of the comments…
