The divorce system does not follow the legal rules, or at least that was the
case 20 years ago.  Friend of the Court does what it feels like and tends to
favor the mother.  In Jim's case he was paying child support to someone
earning twice what he was (because he had worked while she went to school)
while taking care of the kids half the time, on her schedule.
