Of course a low income parent cannot afford RESP or expensive daycare or lots of toys but that doesn't mean their are not benefits out there for them to utilize.
I was always under the belief that child support should be based on what it costs to raise a child in today's society, not based on what the income is of the parent.
Why should a high income parent pay more CS to the other parent because they make more money? So the other parent can live in a nicer house? Go on more vacations? Or the fact that CS doesn't even consider household income, where a payor could pay tons of CS when the other parent lives off the new spouse who could be a millionaire for example.
