Things like what you've mentioned, if you can show needs can be met outside guideline amounts, a court should be willing to allow those amounts. An acknowledgement in the legislation that custodial parents are held to the same support standard as the non-custodial (even if simply stating it won't make a difference). A hard cap on support payments that will never be exceeded outside extraordinary circumstances.
As for any sort of table that would exist, the amounts should be focused on actual costs. On a somewhat funny side note, the local enforcement agency had listed the costs for raising a child on their website in the hopes of compelling payor parents to keep up with the payments. The final amount was either $380 or $480/month or something in that area. They ended up pulling it down quite quickly, as many parents complained they paid more than this per month themselves, and secondly, the implication was that the agency completely forgot about any sort of obligation for the custodial parent to contribute to these costs and portrayed the entire obligation as that of the non-custodial parent (was a bit of an embarrasment).
Would also like to see a debit card system that the support be drawn from over a certain amount. Do not allow cash withdrawals, and give either the paying parent or an oversight agency access to the monthly debits as a basis for any possible complaints on whether the money is supporting the children. Just some ideas off the top of my head, what would yours be?

Ok I did my part, I bought No More Heroes, but they were out of Zach and Wiki.
Ok got Zach and Wiki, now if I could just finally finish Twilight Princess so I can play all these Wii games I got waiting. And no I won't buy Okami.
DNF, now there is a game that should have been scrapped completely. Reminds me of a kid whose been in school for 12 years and still doesn't know what he wants to do. At one point you just need to man up and get a job.
