Yes, that worked out so well in the inner cities. Government aid was cut down if an adult male was listed as living there, such as a child's father. If he was gone then the woman's welfare and food money was increased. Worked like a charm to destroy families and the value of a man. Father absent increased.
Also, if a woman decides to divorce her husband and they have children together, he is forced to support her and the children up to until they're 18.
As a result, less people are getting married. The birth rate is the lowest in our history.
