Fathers (and mothers) are much more than financial support, but I believe a focus on only "time with dad" misses the importance of children seeing a commitment between the 2 adults that made them, or at least commitment and support between a parent and a stepparent. Add to that the insecurity that results from watching the adults change jobs in these times with a lack of long-term commitment between employee and employer. I believe more children will be abandoned by one parent as government expands the taxpayer role in childcare.
