In my situation, my ex owns two houses and owns 2 vehicles. I own one of each. I pay all of their extra activities. He carries their insurance and he works for the company and gets the cheapest coverage. I pay the co-pays and it's $50 for an office visit. I haven't had an increase in support in 7 years because he pays me directly. I have to petition the court for a review. I am doing that shortly. I agree that both parents should be responsible for supporting the kids. Neither parent should be destitute trying to support their children. In cases like the guys you work with, WHY are they paying so much in support that they can't afford housing? In NY, the father pays 25% of his salary for two kids. I also added the insurance and that the ex pays half of daycare. He makes a lot more than I do so I could have had the daycare prorated based on our salaries, but I agreed to split it. He is a cheap bastard and can afford his ciggs, beer, and toys but can't take the kids for a haircut. Or buy a birthday present for a party they attend on his weekend. Fucker. I don't want my ex to suffer or to not be able to live comfortably. But he can damn well pay his fair share for his chilren.
