[Mr. Silverback]

BTW, quick addendum to previous post: My mocking of the author's point is not meant to imply that men who have been betrayed by their spouse should be screwed by the courts. I only mean that it is just plain ludicrous for anyone to suggest that a man is no longer responsible for his offspring if the woman he stuck it in told him a fib. Plus, it should be noted that the man Ms. Haycook is speaking of is single-- he should have kept it in his pants.

I think support of the child should of course be a given --- however custody shouldn't be guaranteed to the mother --- what if custody was given to the better parent and the father was awarded custody and the mother had to pay him child support? It might make women a little more careful if they didn't see a baby as a guarantee of a check to them but instead could be one-fourth of their income for the next 20 years --- paid to the dad.
