It is a liberal law about controlling the herd. They don't like the idea of individual freedom...they want us to be ALL ONE...and all equal - no patriarchy allowed...Fathers are not respected so what they do is toss their laws in your face to humiliate and to propagate that all children belong to everyone...The product of your body is your property - whether you are a man or woman- If it is not a product of your body it is not your responsibility....let the courts track down the REAL father. The other reason the courts will do this is to see if you go for it - in order that that the state does not get stuck with the bill.......just say no.
I have never known a person who has to pay child support for a child who is not theirs. What makes you think this is happening on such a scale that you can make a statement as if it's the norm? Explain.
How it starts is that the man is kind and he gives material support to the child that is not his...once that flow of support starts the courts are in no hurry to make it stop...The way they look at it is - You assumed the position of father- now you are stuck with it.
I can't answer it, because, as I so plainly made clear in my last post, which you so obviously didn't finish reading, I have no idea why you believe this to be true. Another poster and I have asked this same question: WHY do you think this is the case?
You might as well be asking, "Why do Armenian people always wear blue underwear?" No one can answer that because nobody ever heard before that Armenian people wear blue underwear.
We don't know why you think people are paying child support for kids that aren't theirs. So, AGAIN, please explain why you think this to be something that is happening.
With step parenting on the rise (and will continue to rise)many states now require a step parent to pay child support. For example if a custodial parent can prove a step was providing support (easy to do if you live with them)often when the marriage ends (and most marriages between childless and parents end)a parent can sue for support. Then there is the issue that happens in many states where a judge can take in consideration household income instead of the parent's income. For example let's say a dad (since most don't have custody)makes $40,000 a year and is paying $500 a month for child support but marries a woman making $200,000. More often than not the judge will increase child support. I know this from seeing people I know get stung but also reading about Illinois' laws. Illinois reportedly wants to make it easier to go after step parents and force them to pay more.
The solution? don't date parents if you don't have kids and don't want to support them.
Mrs. Chow just sat me down and gave me a long long lecture on life and how things work... she told me about how threads like this are gonna upset me... and how I shouldn't get caught up in them.... she's right....
I feel like I could be fight ing the good fight if I don't stand by and let nonsense go.... but in reality... it just doesn't make any sense... all that happens is that I get upset and no one is getting saved......
This thread is the same as the other two that I lost a part of my precious weekend over........
