Do you think it possible that a parent who doesn't provide for child's needs when staying with them, might not generally.

That a man is broke should not be so construed. I'd like to see social workers or other neutral third parties involved in this assessment.

Yes, exactly! Can't pay or won't pay. Reasonable amount demanded or unreasonable. That's what simple stats won't show.

Let's take the case of a father who is flat broke, but not addicted/distracted. You're not suggesting that mothers may block access, right?

I think we are basically on the same page. We've agreed most importantly on the role of neutral, accessible third party assessment.

And (I think) that our concern about "responsibility" in this context is entirely that children be well cared for during visits.

Yes, that is the only reason to deny custody.
