My experience & observation is that the whole thing is anti-father BIG TIME.

You're right. In California, a man who is named as "father" on a birth certificate has to pay child support whether he's the father of the child or not. A Los Angeles D.A. actually bragged and smiled about this in a news conference a few years back. He was defeated in the next election.

Gil Garcetti. He is generally considered to be a "radical feminist". He started the whole paternity fraud controversy - he refused to allow fathers to be relieved of support obligations when they proved they were not the father. Led to a big California court case.

Garcetti lost his last reelection bid in a landslide. I think he was then appointed to the LA county ethics board. The guy is truly a creep.
