Why exactly are custodial parents legally allowed to refuse to seek child support if the best interests of the CHILD should come first?

More legal stupidity of yours, which makes me wonder if you're an Ultravile sock: They are not 'consenting' to 'child support payments', they are being legally compelled to do it, whether they like it or not. There's a real logical difference there, moron. You might want to go back and read the definition of the word 'consent'. You obviously have missed the meaning.
