Here's the thing - if "ex Mr. Wonderful" is paying on time (without problems), the State doesn't help collect and the $25 fee never applies. It's really that easy.
The state stepped in because there were so many deadbeats. And yeah, if a woman makes a bad decision on her choice of men - the $25 fee is more than fair.
Too bad the state can't publish a list of the deadbeats so other women can avoid them - seems that would be worth an extra $5...
I used to work in the title insurance industry out in Washington state, some of the single gals in the office would use the database to look up tax liens, child support liens, etc. on potential dates. With county record databases appearing on the Internet, most women could do that today, if they really wanted to. If they didn't want to be bothered by learning how to do it, they could pay less than $100 to have a search done by Internet firms that specialize in this.
But, chances are, they've already bought the "my ex is a greedy pig" story. And with enough of them out there like my ex, it's quite believable.
Nice to see you kids forming your own little fringe minority group. In case nobody’s told you, the 90s are over.
ROFL! That is just too funny! Women are genetically programmed to go for "bad boys" over good men. Science knows this and has demonstrated it. It can be seen happening throughout recorded history. It is the subject matter of countless books and movies. All you need to do is go to a local bar next Saturday night and pay attention to see it in action for yourself. When women have children with "bad boys" it is because the women CHOSE the bad boy in the first place. Your publishing a list of them would only make it easier for the women to find the bad boy of their dreams. It would hardly scare women away.
