Really? Then why don't the courts require the custodial parent to spend
the money on the kid? See, the courts actually decided the the *mother's*
rights trump the kids' and the dads'.


Actually they decided before child support really existed that, absent
evidence of abuse, the decisions of a fit custodial parent are by
definition "in the child's best interest".

That happens to be one of the major pillars of western civilization.
