You get a new job with a new social security number and different name. When the state takes custody of the kids away from you, your actual responsibilities are ended.

Unless you are designated "custodial parent", the state has indeed taken custody of your children from you. And you pay them for the privilege.

Unless you are designated "custodial parent", the state has indeed taken custody of your children from you. And you pay them for the privilege.

Laws have changed dramatically so that designation of parent or parents is now completely arbitrary. Men are forced to take on the legal responsibilities of fatherhood everyday for children that are not theirs. The law is not attuned to homosexual couples. If they're married, they're like actual mothers and fathers legally, no matter what sex they are or where the children came from.
