I understand there are a lot of different possible scenarios. That said, under the current system a woman can do terrible things to her husband, run down a road of drugs and creating an unsafe environment, to the point that the man reluctantly leaves and takes the kid. Then take him to court, take away custody, make false accusations, take him for tons of child support that isn't spent on the child, and leave him with nothing but a monthly reminder of the child he used to have. This happened. It is not altogether rare. I'd say that's a broken system. Even if the system gets some dead-beat dads to pay up, it isn't worth the cost.
