I understand your view of antiquated but with children working the 9-5 for the parent while the children are in school is fine however there is after care and transportation for the kids. School lets out at 3 pm. What are you to do with your 8 year old. Latch key kid? No, that can not work at that age. Dad does not worry about kids when his job is concerned. Also, are you to take the kids who lived in a nice home and then have them dumped in some place of squalar because that is all mom can afford? Then there is the emotional toll of the kids that mom has to deal with. My two nieces are seeing a specialist because of this divorce. Mom gets the bill and rest of it. Meanwhile dad is in NJ with a new place to live and an illegal screw doll. He just purchased $7000.00 for furniture. Mom, meanwhile is cleaing soiled undergarments and cleaning up puke from a sick child. Also, since dad is paying CS he gets the write off on taxes, no? In all reality dad can go deliver pizza and pay his percentage on that as CS. Also, if dad has such an issue with it, get full custody of the kids. What can I say? I know more deadbeat dads the ones that pay like ordered.
I agree though, mom does get to spend the money as she sees fit. It is just the way the system is and needs some changes for sure but in hindsight, dad can do what he wants and when he wants. No one to look after. Each case needs to be looked at an not cookie cutter law. If mom is the issue, infidelity, spending wildly, etc. Then she takes it in wallet and not the husband. Again, though, the law is to much cookie cuter and it get the same old stamp all divorces cases get.
