So when we choose a man we should know without a doubt he will forever be a wonderful father and provider. Poor men have no idea nor are expected to know the woman they chose will become pregnant from sexual intercourse and not want to end the pregnancy but expect financial if not emotional support at the very least from the father. I mean she should have known not to trust him, right?


We DO know NOW! Our dd is 25 and decided to go for her Ph.D. She gets tuition and a stipend for 20 hours work at university. She is not allowed to work another job or she could lose the assistantship. It's tight. I send her grocery money.

Her dad did realize after a while that no one else was going to support him, and he has held a few good jobs over the 17 years since I booted him out.

He was living in a $2k apartment, which he split with his gf. Got a better job offer this year as an on-site super in a condo hi-rise. Same salary, about $60k, plus a free 3 br apartment on the premises. Told our dd that he would pay her $325 rent now that he has $1000 extra every month. Paid it once. Probably has to do with it being football season. Bookies come first.

He'll never change. But our dd knows who he is, so she isn't surprised or too hurt, at least I hope not. She knows she has never been high on the list of Daddy's priorities, not as a child, not as an adult. And I never had to say a bad word about him. The kids figure it out.

I'm sorry you guys live in some freakish world where the idea of families and having children is specific to women only and men only become fathers against their will by trickery because a women wont abort but in the real world this scenario is rare and the majority of CS is a result of previous collaboration.

Not always, I have read stories where women lie about taking birth control, poke holes in condoms and in some rare occasions, rape has been involved.

The federal government does know. I have a relative who missed out on a career changing opportunity because he owed child support and wasn't eligible to get a passport.

Just what we need. More lazy, ****ty, authoritarian bull**** ideas!

Notice a societal problem? The solution is easy. Prison! And after all, why wouldn't that be a great idea. I mean, just look at the recidivism rate as a wonderful... well, it doesn't matter. All that you need to know is that this idea will work, despite to previous example of this type of thinking suggesting that it would.

Interesting. I wonder who oversees this. The state files must be connected somehow to the State Dept.

You are opposed to making men accountable for their choices in sexual partners?
Despite having lesser reproductive rights, men already are accountable. See : Child support.

Of course not always. but as I said CS is primarily based on a failed marriage/LTR where TWO people decide to bring a child into this world, they later divorce/split. Occasions where one tampers or lies about their BC resulting in an unwanted child requiring forced financial support are not the norm. There were cases where rapist were given visitation and parental rights to children born of forced rape but its not the norm.

We arent discussing reproductive rights.
But your complaining about guys having to pay CS because if an unmarried woman decides to have a child on her own without the support of the father then you say she should have to get consent from the biological father to end the pregnancy?
So basically you feel the man should have absolute authority over whether the pregnancy goes to term or is aborted and whether he should help financially support the child.

Don't know about where some of you live, but here in NYS there has been a serious crackdown for decades on welfare and child support payments.


Welfare Rolls Cut by Seeking Child Support - The New York Times


Females/new mothers cannot get welfare or whatever payments unless they "co-operate" and provide a fathers name. Welfare authorities have been known to show up at hospital during or shortly after birth demanding certain forms be filled out.


Once a man's name in in that system, forget about it; the guy will be hounded down and tracked to ensure compliance with child support payments. If he does not pay a whole host of legal/civil actions await.


Ironically this can end up costing some women money.


In certain communities (black, Latino-Hispanic) men often work jobs off the books and or have a side game going. They pay their baby's mothers support, but in cash. They will also swing buy with diapers and so forth.


When a female goes to court and or otherwise causes the guy's name to go into the system, they are going to get only money based upon his reported income. So in a good many instances they are getting less than they would otherwise. From the guy's point of view he is in "compliance" so that is that.

I posted the link above to the required reporting system. A number of federal agencies have access to that database and immigration/travel/passports is one of them. The IRS mandates all employers report new hires to their local state agency for same.


https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/resource...oyer-questions




https://travel.state.gov/content/pas...d-support.html


Congress has the power to force states into compliance via the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (also known as welfare reform) signed into law by Bill Clinton


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person...pportunity_Act


Basically it is the old "take the king's coin sing the kings tune". That is the federal government has vast powers via the USC to force those who accept federal funding to comply with various terms.

is this a men bashing thread???

what about all the dead beat mothers (or egg donors)

what about the 'baby moma's' out there that have 5 kids from 5 fathers
