Draft 2
[description]You and one of your brothers were preparing to buy a nice and expensive gift for your mom's birthday, but your plans were thwarted when your brother came to your office and broke down in tears. Aggrieved and embittered, he tells you that he is strapped for cash and cannot pay for the gift, since he has had to pay a hefty sum to his ex-wife for child support again.
[validity] divorce is legal
1. [option]"This is unfair!" wails your brother, hugging you and crying on your shoulder. "@@RANDOMFEMALEFIRSTNAME_1@@ already works and clearly earns more than I do. After all, she resides in a 3-bedroom villa in the countryside, while I am cooped up in a studio penthouse downtown @@CAPITAL@@. And yet I have to pay half my salary to her every month! I think justice demands that child support be only paid if the custodial parents are significantly poorer than their ex-spouses."
[effect]many people transfer their assets to bank accounts in Manamana before divorcing their spouses
2. [option]"This doesn't go far enough!" yells @@RANDOMNAME@@, your secretary, who got divorced 15 years ago and has been avowedly single ever since. "My ex has the sole custody of our children, and I wasn't even given visitation rights at the time, because of a minor manslaughter on my crime record. So for 15 years, I have had to pay child support for kids whose faces I didn't even see. What nonsense! Parents shouldn't be forced to pay child support unless they share the kids' custody!"
[effect]children of rich non-custodial parents are typically out of sight, out of mind, and out of money
3. [option]"You don't know what you're talking about!" grumbles @@RANDOMFEMALEFIRSTNAME_1@@ @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@, your brother's ex, bottle-feeding your niece while at the same time rocking the stroller of your slumbering nephew to and fro. "Caring for children incurs many expenses - food, diapers, toys, guitar classes, ballet lessons, desig- I mean, diaper bags, and what not! If couples make kids together, they should pay for them together as well, irrespective of their income differences."
[effect]child support loans with high interest rates are available in @@DEMONYM@@ banks for divorced parents
