This case is no different from any other miscarriage of justice perpetrated
against fathers. Parents should automatically have shared parenting with no
child support changing hands. If any parent is unable or unwilling to do
such and there is to be some form of child support then it should only be
for basic expenses. Anything above and beyond is lifestyle support which
should be up to the parents to decide lifestyle expenses just like it is for
intact families.

Hollywood actor Viggo Mortensen's ex-wife has reportedly asked a Los
Angeles judge to increase child support payments for their son from $3,000
to $18,000 a month.

In papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last month, Christine
Edge said she needs the money to cover expenses such as computers, trips,
tutoring and car insurance for their 16-year-old son, TheSmokingGun Web
site
has reported.

The couple's 1998 divorce agreement required Mortensen to pay $3,000
in monthly support, however, his former spouse is demanding more now that
his acting career has skyrocketed with a starring role in the blockbuster
Lord of the Rings trilogy, which earned him more than $3.3 million last
year.
