Question

I know there are probably a lot of father's (and others) on this board that feel  they are being screwed by child support and think the current child support calculations are unfair.

What are your ideas for how to fairly calculate child support?  How do you think it should be done?

I really don't know how you could fairly determine child support.  After 8 years of paying child support, my husband is now on the receiving side of child support.  We never really had an issue with the amount of child support (although it was what I considered to be a substantial amount).  Our big problem was that the money did not appear to be spent on the children.  So I would like to see some form of accountability added into child support.

So - ideas on how to do child support fairly?
