How do you prove a negative to the DMV?

It is all based on the “best interests of the child”. They could care less if it is the man’s or not. I know!!

It should be nationwide, a DNA test for ALL births. It should be that any beeotch that tricks a male should be fined into poverty, and sterilized. Period!!

On the other side of this is a friend of mine in Fresno, CA who is in the middle of a divorce from her husband of 26 years. She has three kids with him (16, 13, and 11) and over the years she and the kids have lived in near-poverty. There’s always been questions of food on the table and she’s had to borrow money from her parents to pay bills and buy clothes for the kids.

Her husband works in sales and has always told her no end of hard-luck stories about why he could not make more money to help out at home. He also filed the taxes on his own all that time because she was a stay-at-home mom and dodn’t need to sign the tax returns.

Now her attorney pulled all of his bank records and found that he’s been making over $300,000 a year! He also has money salted away offshore!

It’s guys like this who caused the current system to work the way it does.

I guess they have a list. But as a man in the state of Texas, I have been required to present a Social Security CARD (not just the number) to obtain a state issued driver’s license and that is the reason cited.

If you ARE a deadbeat dad, you are to be prohibited from obtaining a license until you are settled up.

Nothing about DRIVING requires a socialist insecurity account.

You cannot manipulate people’s hearts with tax benefits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m not interested in their hearts. It’s the POCKETBOOK that matters.

If 50 million fools can vote for Obama and the free phones and the free EBT cards and the free Obamacare and all the other crap the lying crap-king promises them, then why can’t the Republicans (who are supposed to be conservative) promise to end welfare, cut the budget, end wasteful spending, increase educational standards, lower the deficit, create new jobs and lower taxes.

How is this possible? Simple. Healthy traditional marriages. Support that. Endorse that. And in one generation - America will be the greatest nation on earth again.

Trouble is - there are no politicians anywhere that have the brains and the nads necessary to do this.

I’m in general agreement with the commentary, but there are exceptional situations. In the 1980s, a friend of mine was raped and bore the rapist’s child. The rapist was not prosecuted. Her husband was in prison all the while, knew what had happened, was supportive at first, but eventually he wanted to divorce, and for grounds he used adultery, and cited the child as proof. He was on the birth certificate as the father. He was outraged that he’d have to pay child support when he got out of prison, and mean enough to disgrace an innocent woman with false charges.

As it turned out he never had to pay support, and neither did the rapist. They both died young, in the same year. Child grew up sane and normal in spite of it all.

You are thinking logically. This has actually happened several times that I know of so probably quite often. Once the “dad” has been paying child support and it is later determined he is not the biological father, the courts don’t care. He is required to keep paying. Doesn’t sound fair and it isn’t, but it happens.

DNA tests should be required of every “father” before his name is put on the birth certificate, married or not.

And in Texas, if you are DEAD and no longer paying child support, you are officially entered into the “deadbeat dad” rolls and become an addition to the statistics that show how gawd-awful men are when it comes to meeting their responsibilities.

True.

My brother wrote his PhD dissertation on this very subject—enraged the feminazi mutants at Texas Women’s University, enraged them so much, they actually held on-campus protests against my brother, demanding he be denied his PhD because of his study.

...But it's Not His Child

Was it caught in his trap?

An honest woman would never force a man to give her money for a child that was not his, but the family law system has been set up by feminists to punish men and make women feel good about taking child support from them.

The screwin' ya get;
for the screwin' you got.

The thing is a woman before they can get on welfare they have to try get a child support order, sometimes the guy doesn’t even know about it and doesn’t pay but the arrears pile up. Then someone finds him and because he has been this kid’s father for so long he is on the hook until the kid is 18.

The only way to get out of it is to find the real father and hope he really would like to have a child and get him to take a paternity test.

The problem with that is these women have slept with so many men it would be hard to find them.

A traditional marriage is performed in a church/synagogue/mosque. What you are proposing diminishes marriage by turning it into a welfare scam.

seems like we need federal DNA exoneration laws for civil and criminal courts.

Paternity fraud should not be allowed to stand, period.

You’re not getting it.

Yes, you and I see marriage as a religous right. But what about secular idiots who don’t believe in God or deny the Constitutional rights and freedoms that God provides.

Don’t they deserve the rights, freedoms and benefits that marriage provides?

And on the downside - don’t they deserve the grief and agony that happens when you enter into Divorce Court?

Or do you think the State should leave divorce up to the church as well?

No way any court would force someone to support someone not related to or adopted by him.

2009: Family Court Injustices to Men

2008: Child support law leaves man a default dad

2007: Dad wasn't dad after all, but still owes child support

2005: Man cleared of paternity, but not support (Appeals Court makes wrong father pay child support)

2002: Another Paternity Fraud case.(30% of Paternity tests prove children fathered by other men.)

Now I am completely confused by your argument:

But what about secular idiots who don’t believe in God or deny the Constitutional rights and freedoms that God provides.

What about them?
