After all, if a father is awarded sole custody of his child, do you seriously think the mother won't be expected to pay child support?Given that the cases of fathers having sole custody involve mothers so terrible the court is obliged to hand the children to the fathers, in most cases, we're taking about broken women who are either in prison or on drugs. One of my former co-workers grew up with her dad and he got nothing from the mother. If a woman is considering an abortion The current status is that if a woman has an abortion, the man avoids child support payments. If the woman chooses to have the child the man is forced to make those payments. Unmarried men should have the option to choose to make those payments and abdicate any future parental rights, just as how women have the choice to have an abortion. Taking care of your child is "punitive? When the courts take nearly 20% of your paycheck and offer nothing in return except for the threat of imprisonment in some cases, it is punitive. I've seen men make payments to children they never see, while the women squander the money with little intervention from child welfare agencies. |
