We need a standard child support that can not be changed by judges. All children are equal and according to economic research, it only requires $30 per week to raise a child. This $30 per week is supposed to be split between the parents. We believe enforcement of this will result in: 1.) Less divorce. 2.) Less pregnancies. 3.) Less poverty. 4.) Less workers to service the child support accounts. 5.) Less time wasted tying up our court systems. 6.) Stimulating the economy because non-custodial parents could then afford their own homes. All children are created equal and should receive the same amount of child support. Our system builds alimony into it's current child support scale. Women have equal rights now and should be held equally responsible. In addition, alimony should only be allowed for 5 years or until the woman remarries, whichever comes first.

Finally some common sense. My paycheck is gone before I even see it and I can barely keep my own lights on. This is long overdue.

about time things were fair for everyone involved. the courts are a total mess right now and this would fix so much of the stress.
