Regardless of the reasons or legitimacy of divorces the current family laws which govern support orders are extremely unfair to non-custodial parents. Women know this and divorce is almost always an easy payday for them.
I don't know that it is the government's responsibility to grant or enforce orders at all. The more the government steps in, the less family and local communities have to do, replacing those key building blocks of our culture with government has not been good for our overall society.
All good points and if I told you I had answers I'd be lying.
I'm certainly no expert either, but I find the topic interesting.
has some well thought out points on how government has slowly replaced family and communities starting back around medieval times. It's a good read.
I haven't looked as far back as your source but I am aware of how liberal policies destroyed family units (especially minority ones) going back to the 60s. Black Rednecks and White Liberals is very anecdotal overall but eye opening. Like anything, you won't agree with all of it. I certainly don't.
