“fooled him into thinking children she had through affairs were his, was awarded $40,000 in damages in February from a lawsuit he filed against her.”
Anyone care to guess what he will garner from her? Zero is already taken by me.
Disgusting and frightening. I was raised by a woman and around a bunch of men haters. If anything, I’ve gone through life scared of women. Even with my newlywed wife, I’m afraid to have children but not because she might take me for a ride in the courts but because of what I went through as a child of a single mother.
Can’t this type of injustice be taken up to the Supreme Court level???
I mean, if the Supreme Court can take on a case relative to whether you can say the word “God” in school, surely there has to be grounds to take a case where the state can deprive of your ‘liberty’ on account of someone else’s child.
Thanks to what the favored political/regulator constituents brought to us during ‘80s and ‘90s. The great part of the default process is coming, and so are the consequences of such policies. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
I have seen two father's lives ruined by this, where the mom/wife basically ran out of state with the kids (far away) then sued in family court and won child support AND back child support. In both cases the men didnt put up much of a real fight because they thought it was for their kids. After their lives were ruined they understood too late.
Understand, while child support was sold and defended as being the kids (watch Judge Judy), legally it is solely the Mother's money to do whatever she wishes with it just like alimony used to be.
If it means buy her new boyfriend presents or supporting him with it, then that is perfectly legal. There is no requirements on her on how the money is spent. (as long as social services is not seeing an abuse problem)
Its 100% one sided.
Get joint custody if you can, assuming she didnt flee with the kids.
Nancy Lanza received $240,000 per year in alimony from her ex and was scheduled over the course of a few more years to get nearly $300,000.
I frequently see people defend state sanctioned marriage (as opposed to or in parallel with church based marriage) on the basis that children need to be protected.
Well 80% of children are born outside of marriage anyway and the state is very efficient in seeing two people are tethered financially to a child. So seems to me no good reason to have state sanctioned marriage.
Kudos to Rachel Alexander for having the courage to write about the single largest income redistribution scheme ever devised by (wo)man.
The militant raging man-hating feminazis have the politicians on their side. They politicians are deathly afraid of feminazis.
“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.”
And some wonder why men are declining to ever get married.
Hardly News. I had to check the date of the article to see if it was 2013, 2003 or even 1993.
This has been happening for years.
I blame the men. Women are more sexually active now there’s no assurance they’ll be faithful men know this. Why sign a birth certificate first before getting a dna test.
Trust but verify.
That and FALSE ARREST.
I was arrested after my ex accused me of hitting her- THANK GOD I was able to prove I was not even home at the time (I was actually in my attorney’s office, on the phone with the judge setting up a court date- there was no question in his mind I was inocent)
But that was a pre-trial judge- when we went before the real judge she CONTINUED to use the fact that I was arrested but she “dropped the charges to be nice”
I was forced to file charges against her so I could get my day in court to prove my innocence- but the prosecutre at first refused to prosecute because “You’re just doing this to get back at her”
I demanded that he prosecute and had the foresight to contact an attorney and told him I would be in court filing a ‘writ of mandamus’ the minute I walked out his door if he didn’t.
End result? They postponed the trial for one month, and the NEXT WEEK when I was not even present they offerred her a 6 month ACD (adjournment contemplating dismissal) if she didnt do it again for 6 months.
I was FURIOUS. I lost my job and was forced out of my $300,000 home that had to be sold at foreclosure... She cost me $100,000 as certainly as if she had taken it from my bank account- and NOTHING happened to her.
After she was killed in a car accident (I swear I was home with the kids!) I found websites on her computer DEDICATED to framing men during a divorce. One title page was “So, now he’s in jail- what next?”
And then women wonder why men are afraid to marry now?
Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house- you will be better off.
Charlie Sheen once said, “I don’t pay them to come over and have sex with me. I pay them to leave when they are done.”
No sex before marriage. It’s just not a luxury most people can afford anymore.
This story sounds bogus to me. No way any court would force someone to support someone not related to or adopted by him.
When a kid is born, spend a few extra bucks to get a dna test done. Trust but verify.
For instance, my business partner found out just before his dad died that his brother and sister were children of another man by his cheating mother.
Why should a man be punished with a baby for 18 years? Doesn’t he have the SAME choice as a woman? Doesn’t the woman have a CHOICE in her partner(s)?
Oh to be empowered. Meanwhile as a single man with no kids, I still have to jump through hoops at the DMV to “prove” that I do not owe any back child support in order to procure/renew a driver’s license.
Guilty first, prove your innocence.
Please understand the law here in NY:
If a man has sex with a woman, she is entitled to half of his assets, and also half of his earnings for the rest of his life.
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.
