Perfect example of what happens when society creates yet another priviliged protected group.

Assume a father so defrauded finds himself on the hook for $250 a month for each of his children

Then he's getting off EASY with that small payment. Try 800-1000 a month is more likely.

I will adda tidbit that I read recently. Up in Chicago a fella got nailed for child support for a child that was 'made' by a gal he never ever had sex with at all.

There was oral sex involved and the lady used a turkey baster or some such item to get herself pregnant. SHe even admitted doing it!!!

This was a court case and the ruling was that the sperm was 'given' to this lady and thus,being a gift, she could do what she wanted to with it.


YES MEN, be afraid, very very afraid.

Did you read what I said - that a paternity test should exempt him from paying ?

Go back and reread it.

"If a man and woman have sex and the woman ends up pregnant it is the responsibility of both of them to take care of the child."

True

But - If a man doesn't have sex with a woman who has a baby, and via means of perjury or fraud he has to pay child support, he is a victim of a crime. Get it?

Yep Chicago land of the free

Wasn't that the place that charged a 14 year old boy who was molested by a 31 year old woman for child support.

Yep this system works.

If men don't want children, there's a simple way to ensure it doesn't happen.

Brokeback Mountain style?

If a man has a kid he ought to do his part but you miss the entire point of this article. Men are guilty until proven innocent based simply on the word of a woman and actions start rolling that include areers adding up, paycheck garnishments, loss of things like driver's licenses, forklift licenses, fishing/hunting licenses and various other things.

For deadbeats all those penalties are fine and dandy but the problem is this......EVERY man is considered guilty based on the word of a woman and nothing more. This is especially true from the restraining order angle.

You miss the point: MANY men are paying child support for children they didn't father, and here in Texas, once you've been recognized by the court as a child's biological father (usually by default), it's virtually impossible for the truth to "set you free" from paying support for a child who's not your responsibility.

The problem is the payments are taken before any such test is ever done. Penalties like license suspensions happen prior to a test also.

“Get while the getting is good.”

My ex-wife got while the getting was right about the time my employer let me know that I was being laid off.

Get real. $250 a month doesn't get spent on the kid ? Have you looked at your grocery bill lately, or your gas costs, or what it costs you to rent/buy a place with a bedroom for the kid(s), or shoes/clothes or music lessons or anything ?

Tell me, what do you think it costs to support a child - OK, strip it down to bare bones - 3 small meals a day, no transportation except by foot or the school bus, clothes from Goodwill. Could you live on $250 a month ?

People who claim $250 is mad money for the Mom are out of touch with reality.

I don't know of any court that would force a man to pay child support to a woman he did not know. Paternity tests are very accurate these days. If the child isn't his and he claims he doesn't know the woman, he won't be forced to pay child support. The man in the article claims he was tricked, not that he didn't know the woman. The child was his and he should take responsibility. If he didn't want a child he had options to protect himself.

I don't believe this, and this is not the example used in the article.

Engage brain before opening mouth. The article has nothing to say about that and you need to read what it says before making a comment that makes you look foolish.

men, by an overwhelming majority, believe it's OK to tell lies to get sex.

And the rest of them think it's bad but do it anyway! LOL
