So, what role does the mother have in all this...is she financially responsible for any measure of support, or does she sit by and “whine�

Of course she must contribute to the financial support of her child. And I am all for more legitimate accounting standards for child support - child support is for the child, not for the mom. Any more stringent methods to have the mother account for the money is aok by me.

Your position is great...but not confirmed by the courts....the mother proclaims that Joe Schmuck, is the father, and it is a done deal...the courts orders his income confimed, and quote gives unquote the mother support based on the males income....
