A recent news report stated that the number of women being murdered by dead-beat-dad to avoid paying or avoiding child support payments is on the increase; and has been increasing steadily each year. The report said many of these dead-beat-dads saw murder as the only out.
Is there a flaw in the system? Is forced child support payments causing more harm than good? Could this turn into uncontrolled murders in U.S. cities, such as in other third world countries? Should Child Support laws be changed or for that matter, abolished altogether? Is it time for this issue to be addressed by congress before it gets worse?
Forcing someone to pay support for their offspring cannot "lead someone to murder." And no, it is not causing more harm than good. This sounds like blaming the system instead of the individual. Each person is responsible for their own actions.

What is your opinion?
Is this question a joke?
Do you really mean to ask if men should be allowed to abandon their children, financially, to avoid murdering them??????
I join the chorus on this issue, how on earth can you justify abandoning your children financially? Who pays if they don't? How many cases of forced payments are currently in effect, and how many result in murders?
It has to be statistically insignificant. They need to be punished to the maximum extent of the law. If you don't plan on supporting your kids, don't have them.
Reducing or eliminating child support payments to avoid murder is not the answer.
My FIL paid my MIL a ridiculous amount of money and she makes a lot more than he does, but my FIL gave the money with a giving heart. He loved his kids and still wanted to provide for them. He never even questioned it. Does anyone think of the kids anymore???

According to the report, not me, dead-beat-dads are committing murder to avoid child support. The report was just on last night. And if you read my post, nowhere did I ask if men should be allowed to abandon their children. I asked if the laws should be look at in light of the circumstances.

Well, then no, the laws should not be looked at. If anything I wish their was stricter enforcement of the laws.

I agree with you. However, there have been many laws enacted, which, after being realized were either flawed, or ineffective, were abolished, or revised.

I think it is an interesting topic, but I guess I don't understand where the question or controversy is...
Did you expect any of us to side with the dads? Is there ever a situation where a father should murder his kids because he might have to pay high child support?
Well, then no, the laws should not be looked at. If anything I wish their was stricter enforcement of the laws.
Huh.... How would stricter laws help? The laws are rather leanient now, and look what's begining to happen.
