What the petition asks

I think it is very unfair for the parent who is left to care for their children 90% of the time to always have to pay FULL living costs of a child

Child are expensive and if you don’t want to pay for what a child ACTUALLY costs then you need to not have them.
The parent who has full custody is always left to pick up the pieces when a family separates, they pay all costs of living including rent, food, gas, electric to heat and light the house the children live in, clothes, shoes, school trips, clubs.. the list goes on.

I think the parent who does not live at the house and is not the primary carer should pay a fee that matches the ACTUAL amount a child costs to LIVE

Both parents decide to have the children so both parents should pay equal!
