=============================================================
you suggest "our government" is doing badly in handling child support issues
=============================================================

No I didn't (at least, not in the post you are responding to).

=============================================================
If I recall, you were from Texas. Since when did Texas become part of the British governmental structure? Or do you disapprove of ALL government actions?
=============================================================

Gigi, the two countries are almost identically aligned when it comes to many socialist issues - divorce, welfare, child support, child custody - to name just a few. Are they 100%, EXACTLY the same? In some areas, yes - others, no.

===========================================================
How do you propose this shoudl happen?
===========================================================

Just by getting out. As the previous poster said, why are their hands so removed from the marriage aspect, yet 180-degrees when it comes to divorce? Do both or neither.

Edit: BTW, everyone should read the following about one man's "pleasurable" experience with the court system here in the USA - http://www.perkel.com/pbl/married/index.htm
