It’s 73% in the black community.
Two words: postnuptial agreement. Of course, since you are already married, this may require some couples counseling.
Hardly News. I had to check the date of the article to see if it was 2013, 2003 or even 1993.
This has been happening for years.
I blame the men. Women are more sexually active now there’s no assurance they’ll be faithful men know this. Why sign a birth certificate first before getting a dna test.
Trust but verify.
she doesn't have to buck it, just meet a man with $$$ and tell him her doctor said she is incapable of conception. (can claim she had a hysterectomy). Then she announces a miracle has taken place, she will be a mom again. Her prayers have been answered. Then she goes to family court again to get her 21 year award $$$$$ for sleeping around.
Then find another, and another. family values..
One might come to such a foolish understanding based on the disastrous results of divorce.
But looking at the overall economic and societal benefits of marriage - we can only agree that state-sponsored marriage is the only way to go.
You want to end welfare in one generation? Require all welfare recipients to be married.
You want to end poverty and ignorance in America? Extend tax BREAKS not penalties to married couples.
You want to gut and put an end to divorce courts that are churning out millions of children from broken homes who have half the advantages of normal children? Slap a big tax/penalty on divorce.
You want a hundred more reasons why the government should favor marriage? I got ‘em.
That and FALSE ARREST.
I was arrested after my ex accused me of hitting her- THANK GOD I was able to prove I was not even home at the time (I was actually in my attorney’s office, on the phone with the judge setting up a court date- there was no question in his mind I was inocent)
But that was a pre-trial judge- when we went before the real judge she CONTINUED to use the fact that I was arrested but she “dropped the charges to be nice”
I was forced to file charges against her so I could get my day in court to prove my innocence- but the prosecutre at first refused to prosecute because “You’re just doing this to get back at her”
I demanded that he prosecute and had the foresight to contact an attorney and told him I would be in court filing a ‘writ of mandamus’ the minute I walked out his door if he didn’t.
End result? They postponed the trial for one month, and the NEXT WEEK when I was not even present they offerred her a 6 month ACD (adjournment contemplating dismissal) if she didnt do it again for 6 months.
I was FURIOUS. I lost my job and was forced out of my $300,000 home that had to be sold at foreclosure... She cost me $100,000 as certainly as if she had taken it from my bank account- and NOTHING happened to her.
After she was killed in a car accident (I swear I was home with the kids!) I found websites on her computer DEDICATED to framing men during a divorce. One title page was “So, now he’s in jail- what next?”
And then women wonder why men are afraid to marry now?
Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house- you will be better off.
Charlie Sheen once said, “I don’t pay them to come over and have sex with me. I pay them to leave when they are done.”
No sex before marriage. It’s just not a luxury most people can afford anymore.
I disagree. Religious marriage means something to people and results in all the benefits you mention.
State sanctioned mariage is next to meaningless to most people.
This story sounds bogus to me. No way any court would force someone to support someone not related to or adopted by him.
When a kid is born, spend a few extra bucks to get a dna test done. Trust but verify.
For instance, my business partner found out just before his dad died that his brother and sister were children of another man by his cheating mother.
Don't go into a courtroom looking for justice - all you will find there is the law.
The way it works is that if the kid is born within 9 or 10 months since the break-up between Sheila and Brian, the law's first guess is that the kid is Brian's. They WERE married, you see? Further confusing the situation, is the occasional "be-back" Brian succumbed to at the warm invite of Sheila. ("Now why would she do that," you ask?)
Of course, all of this was legally decided long before DNA and such. So, Brian now has to scientifically prove that said progeny is someone else's problem. This may, or may not, convince the court because since then, Brian has been tagged with "domestic violence," "sexual abuse of a minor child," "Littering, Treason, and Lèse Majesté" and a host of lesser charges which seem to endlessly spring to the lips of lesbolawyers.
The default position of society? Well, Leroy, Daunté, and Shaquil have your answer. Have 30 forty children by 20-30 different women and let the courts and the welfare department handle the whole thing. O yeah, don't forget to register and vote early, often, and wherever you're told.
i meant all the ways she can use the system to get “free” money on top of child support. food stamps, WIC, housing assitance, cash assitance, heating credits, EIC, SSI, medicare, free day care, working for cash..
another good scam is to get multiple fathers.. tell one if he pays cash right to her, she won’t have the state come after him. then she can get more from having the state go after a different guy for a different kid..
State sanctioned mariage is next to meaningless to most people.

I think we should try it. You want welfare? You want your Earned Income Tax Credits? Then show me your marriage license.
Instead of rewarding the providers (married folks), we punish them as we reward the takers (divorced or never married with children)
Does this make sense to you?
Boy are you naive. This has happened to thousands of men.
Why should a man be punished with a baby for 18 years? Doesn’t he have the SAME choice as a woman? Doesn’t the woman have a CHOICE in her partner(s)?
Oh to be empowered. Meanwhile as a single man with no kids, I still have to jump through hoops at the DMV to “prove” that I do not owe any back child support in order to procure/renew a driver’s license.
Guilty first, prove your innocence.
Please understand the law here in NY:
If a man has sex with a woman, she is entitled to half of his assets, and also half of his earnings for the rest of his life.
No. Not in the least. You cannot manipulate people’s hearts with tax benefits.
