Child Support

I dont think the system (at least in this country) is fair. It seems to be hevily weighted in favour of the mothers (usually, it is normally the mothers that get custody). It seems that the husbands are asked to pay a set abount which varies on their earnings and can be either insignificantly small, or quite large. The problem is even though the father is paying, the mother can still deny him rights (unless court states otherwise) to the kids. In essence he is forced to pay for a child when he cannot be a part of his/her life. The other problem is if he is allowed to be apart ot their lives, he has no legal say in how his hard earned dollars are spent. He cannot sit down and say what he feels the kids need, and has no right to. Much of the time the money is spent on other things (such as the mothers entertainment. I have seen it before many of times) and the children are still without. Of course that is not all parents, but while some are working together for the good of their children others are abusing the system. What are your feelings on the matter? Do You Disagree with me? Are there other problems I did not mention? Do you think the system needs reform? How would you go about it?
