What's considered an "adequate standard of living" for a child? Does it very from family to family, or do you think there's a set dollar amount that's good across the board?
Ah, I see - I'm not familiar with Canadian child support structures at all. Are you talking about the Blue Edwards custody case?
I don't doubt that what you claim happens on occasion, but by no means is this the norm. You yourself say litigation is a sport for the very wealthy - most people in this country are not very wealthy. You're allowing a fraction of cases dictate your view of the practice as a whole.

"How is it working out, trying to change other people instead of ignoring bad behavior and achieving anyway?"
HA! I do this too! Glad I'm not the only one.
Same! Weirdos unite.
Funny or Die did it better last decade.
