>That sounds like a plaintiff's perspective when there is no concern for the welfare of the other parent.
It would be more accurate to say that the court prioritises the welfare of the child above that of the parents.
That is, the system (in theory) should enforce that the child recieves the same level of support and standard of living as it would if the parents had not separated.
Judges take a very dim view of parents trying to escape their support obligations, as if they were allowed to do so it ultimately only hurts the child.
