well, you see, in most cases adults are more capable of handling money than kids. The person in charge needs to take care of organizing many things arround and about kids. So spending money for the kids doesn't mean to justify father's contribution by buying loads of icecream, toys and fancy clothes.

See hes avoiding his responsibilities majorly. Me I consider my children watching their mothers struggle so I try to be cool but really the money goes where the moms want it too. Not the kids.

You do press a good point and the childrens happiness is shaped directly and indirectly by how they see their parents.
But if a parent cannot afford their own clothing don't you think they should look for better pay rather than put off responsibility to the other person who is not responsible to raise the other parent?
Initially in court when my judgement came down, I told the judge I simply could not afford the amount awarded.
He then told me, "That's not my problem, maybe you should look for a better paying job".
Back to the main body of the OP one thing courts do not take into consideration fully is housing.
The difference in renting a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom is not a huge difference, however I was nailed almost full on for my ex's rent, if you factor in all that should be.
Like I said, I did buy her a house.
