The way the court system is structured in the United States today, there is a generally clear bias favoring the maternal side in cases dealing with children and child support.

Well, every child needs to have adequate clothing, food, and shelter. A father should also be providing money for school, health care expenses, and various other necessities that are required for the child to maintain an adequate standard of living. What a father shouldn’t be paying for, and often times is, is for living expenses of the mother.
