Rent must be managed by both parents, and so should not be accounted for in child support.

If you can't afford to pay rent without someone else's support, you shouldn't have custody until you can....

I have not been married, nor divorced. Both my parents and my girlfriend are divorced, multiple times in my father's case. I have seen custody battles and I have been aware of how the laws affect both parents.

It is not a simple situation, and I believe that "No Fault Divorce" isn't the solution. But these are at least how I think reform should be started. I would be happy to discuss any problems people note with these views, as others have different perspectives that I may have missed.

I think child support amounts should be based on how much it actually takes to raise a child in the area the child is growing up at some reasonable minimum level and not on how much it takes to provide an upper middle class lifestyle. I also don't think child support amounts should be raised above that minimum level because the non-custodial parent's income is above average at the time of the split.

Your proposals would make things better but they just don't go far enough. All post-marital spousal support should be abolished. The enslavement of people to their spouse/ex-spouse should end as soon as possible.
