In my personal opinion, the cost of child support is becoming unethical. Why make a person who is actively involved in their child's life pay child support to the mother simply because they aren't married? Isn't living in the house with them enough? I feel as if child support should be based on how often the opposing parent spends with the child and what he buys for the child. It should be based on what they're helping the primary parent with and what they aren't helping the primary parent with.
Another major issue I feel like needs to be addressed is the fact that people who make way more money generally in life have to pay an unethical amount of child support. For instance, I came across an article about a celebrity who was paying his child's mom 20,000 dollars in child support a month. It doesn't matter if you live in the hood or if you live in the Beverly Hills, it doesn't take 20,000 dollars to raise a 2 year old.
I feel like every government should make more reasonable laws when it comes to how much child support people pay, not base it completely off the opposing parent's income.
