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

[nimbus]

It's not sabatoging the childs future by not forcing some non-liable innocent to finance it's life. There isn't ANY evidence that more money will make that child's life better / happier.

yes there is.


but anyway, it really comes down to this. one person is gonna get child support money taken from them because of the ruling - either the kid, or the father. Personally i choose the father, because

1. the kid had no control over the events that transpired, while the father could have exercized better judgement, and

2. the money is going to make a MUCH bigger difference in the life of the child than in the life of the father

ok so when a man marries a woman who has kids by another man, then he makes the conscious decision to marry her and become the man of that household. When they divorce, is he then responsible for child support because he made a conscious choice to become the husband and step-father?

1) Show me the evidence that links money to happieness.

2) How can you state that the money from the father will 'CHANGE' this childs life? Do you even know how much money the mother has? Do you know how much money the father is being asked to pay? I don't.

3) Your logic regarding choosing the childs happieness over the adults happieness is downright infuriating. A) Please stop refering to him as the father - it's established - he is not. B) Why this 'random' guy over any other random 'Guys' pocketbook?

If your such a fucking bleeding heart for the 'CHILDREN' and their happiness - I got suggestion for you: YOU FUCKING PAY!

After all, you choose the child's happiness over the adults. Time to put that theory to work with your own fucking money as opposed to some poor schmuck that was already victimized.

Somehow I think you'd change your tune if it was *YOUR* money.

It depends on the relationship that the child has with his biological father. but many cases i would say yes, because the kids will have grown accustomed to that lifestyle and will have had their future structured as though they will be receiving support from their step-father until adulthood.

OMFG... you're amazingly generous with other peoples money, aren't you?


That type of policy would lead to perpetual single motherhood and to and environment where the children of divorce would most likely NEVER have a good father figure in house with them. Cause no motherfucker woudl ever marry a single mom knowing they'd inherit the financial burden.

Congrats, you're a real champion of the children.

Awesome public policy there.

i'll work on #1, i've seen studies though

as for #2, the article states how much he is being asked to pay. i'm sure the amount was at least partially based off of how much the mother makes.

i'm not gonna delve into #3, those involve your own values and emotions and have nothing to do with me or the facts. i don't know who the fuck you think you are talking to me like this though, settle the fuck down
