but does this signal a change?...maybe....
it does mean that now fathers will pay no matter what...which maybe is a good thing....they will not be able to shirk their duties even if they fall out of love or find a new bimbo, they will pay for their children all the time....
so we don't need to hear anymore about how oppressive the courts are in handing out child support to the daddys....
another point....maybe next time instead of carrying the baby for 9 months mommy will simply abort........
consequences to having sexual relations before committment and marriage..
Read the article. The father was thrilled to be a daddy and wanted to do the right thing (raise his child). The mother and the "adoptive parents" tried to steal that from him.
If a father does not have the right to raise his child, that is, to take custody if the mother doesn't want the child, then a father should NEVER be forced to pay support for a child he doesn't want.
Either he has rights and responsibilities, or he has neither.
