10. I think denial of custodial rights should = no child support

I'm sorry but unless the parents is demonstrably rich, and there's a GOOD reason to deny him seeing his kids, he should not be required to pay one thin dime.

Men who don't get to be with their kids in ANY capacity, are being denied parenting. Thus, they should not be required FOR said parenting.

That includes women who, after being told they need to share custody, run off with their kids, further denying the man his right to see his kids! In that case as well, I see no reason for the man to have to pay a thin dime UNTIL he is allowed to see his kids again.

This is out a sense of justice not personal experience.

My parents divorced amicably, and I spent a great deal of time with my dad while living with my mom, and vice verse.

I don't have kids. My exwife and I are baron as a couple. I'm sure that contributed to things going down hill =[

SO I don't have a dog in this fight.

I also feel that WOMEN should pay child support as well - something that almost NEVER happens - in the rare reverse situation (where the man gets majority, shared custody).

And the same, if the guy takes off with the kids, the woman isnt financially obligated, etc.
I believe in the laws being applied equally and fairly, which never seems to happen.
The laws in this regard, as skewed heavily towards women even when the rare tie the man wins custody.

But what do I know?
