It seems to me that all the threads I've read here on that issue are written by women, especially women who have kids with the guy and feel that he is paying too much support to his ex for his other children.

Maybe it's because guys are paying support 80% do the time.

You do indeed sound sexist. As the wife and stepmom to a lovely girl caught in the middle of her parents battles on access, I have been helping file court papers for my spouse for the last 10 years, dealing with lawyers, and in my spare time I volunteer to fill out the forms for other dads who are getting screwed by the system, and never look to the money until the access and custody issues are settled...In this case, the stepmother has a valid point, and she may be raising it as the spouse with more spare time to ask the questions.

All you did there was buttress my point that it's always the step-mom that bears this cross. Please show me a thread in this forum where the sted-dad did that.

It's one thing to make unsubstantiated comments of a sexist nature. It's quite another when the comment is backed up by fact. If I'm wrong please show me.
