50/50 usually means no child support, if you’re looking for reasons why it’s uncommon.

Do you mean the mothers fight for more custody so they can nab an income?

Or they don't trust the father to put in his fair share of doctor's visits, buying clothes, etc. The upside of paying child support is that the other party is assumedly taking point on all of those expenses.

In the Netherlands you can still pay child support with 50/50 if there is difference in income, just less of it.
