A father is on the hook for 18 years whether he wants the child or not. The mother can shirk her own responsibilties to that child if she decides to kill it.
Our nation is screwed.
I don’t know if it’s still the case, but New Zealand used to let American men file for asylum to escape unfair child support orders.
I am virulently anti-abortion.
Inasmuch as it exists and “freedom of choice” is pushed men should be provided with some right to privacy as well.
Tell me where I am misguided, as I am sure you folks will...
It’s interesting, this tactic has become yet another incentive by liberals to make people stop having kids. They make it insane on the guy to ever think about having kids with a woman for fear of divorce and becoming a wage slave to power and intrusion of the state to ‘garnish’ wages and make your life a continual IRS audit for a long time.
I’m not saying guys shouldn’t support their kids, what I am saying is that not only does this mindset allow libs to punish men (pushing feminist ideology), it allows the state to have much more control over your life (big govt libs happy) and for some guys, it makes them not want to have kids with a spouse (population control libs happy).
Isn’t this a wonderful, grand world the leftists have created?
Indeed: The job of child support enforcement officials is to collect the child support which the family court adjudicated - and not to launch inquiries into or make summary judgements about whether the father is poor or homeless, or has been unfairly denied visitation, nor should they entertain speculations about whether he even is the father of the child.
