    So no, dear reader, these protections don't exist in America. In fact they don't exist in MANY western countries.

    THAT'S what Men's Rights is about.
    Still 10 pages behind but it is now twice you've used this and it just doesn't stand.

    Sorry but he is legally the father of that child, just not biologically. He accepted the responsibility after finding out the truth.
    Mike had known that the girl he had rocked to sleep and danced with across the living-room floor was not, as they say, “his.” The revelation from a DNA test was devastating and prompted him to leave his wife — but he had not renounced their child.
    It wasn't until his ex married her lover that he objected, and still he wants the social privilege to call her his daughter, but wants to shirk the financial responsibility. This isn't about child support, this is about him being angry with his ex-wife's betrayal.

    If he wants to continue being this child's "Father" which it seems, then I don't think the court should strip him of his legal standing as the father.

    So you think he should pay a fee to support a child who needs no support? Just because he was tricked into spending 4 years with him and developed a perfectly natural bond?

    That's precisely what you're saying.

    Nope, but that is just because I have a family member that happened to. He found out that the last two kids his wife had was not his at all. Hurt does not even began to describe what he felt but he still stayed with his wife (I would have left her high and dry, had her declared unfit so I could get my kids, and moved the hell on.) and raised those kids as his own. And they are his kids because DNA does not make you a father.

    Because of this I have long felt that the laws reguarding children from affairs should be changed. Just because I man is married to a woman he should not be responsible for a child that she had outside of the marriage unless he has adopted said child. A man should not be forced to take care of the child or guilted into it with the whole " Think of the child". No one should blame a man for wanting to leave his wife and the child once he finds out it is his.


    And this is late because I have been looking at the snow!!!

    The "fee" is so he will have some type of legal rights to the child without it the man is nothing to child and the child is nothing to the man. His ex-wife would have no legal obligation to even allow the man to see or talk to the child. Now when the child gets older he could seek the man out himself but hat would be it without the "fee".

    What do you mean that the law doesn't protect you? I'm not sure what country you're from, but in Canada you can contest a paternity claim.

    I can actually believe that because there a psychological profile for women who are obsessed with having a baby... most commonly they're the types who steal newborns from hospitals.


    but this came from a men's news website so this carries as little weight as a full male jury voting on the definition of pregnancy caused from rape.

    ...oh wait, that actually happened. *facepalm*

    You don't think both might be true?

    No it's not. I'm saying he can't have his cake and eat it to.

    I think if he wants to act as a father, he is financial responsible for the child. BUT since his wife is no longer single, his obligation should be reduced.

    I'm not saying he should be forced. I am stating he chose to remain the father while knowing he is not. If he wants to remain as a father figure with the right to see the child he should remain financially responsible for this child. If he wants to shed is legal father status, then I would say he has no right to see the child either. The family can choose to let him, but he doesn't have the right to demand it.

    Do you have any factual evidence to suggest that men in America are more likely to lie about paternity than women, or are you in the same camp as the "I bet men are worse" shame squad from early in the thread.

    Look, the situation sucks. It really does. I don't think anyone is saying this is awesome. But the reality is there are consequences to becoming a parent regardless of how you became that parent. Child support is one of those consequences. I don't think it matters if that kid's mom won the lottery or what her need is, child support is about supporting your CHILD and any estranged parent regardless of gender should be on board with paying it.

    Do I think his ex and her lover are scumbags? Yes. But this does not change the fact that if this guy decided to become this child's parent, he has an obligation to live up to that no matter how bad he feels about it now. If he wants out, he can take it to the courts and sue to give up paternity.

    So only the woman should have the option to get rid of her responsibilities towards the kid (either through abortion before the kid is born, or adoption afterwards), but the man should always be at the mercy of the mother? The mother gets to decide the fate of the father and her own, the father has no power to influence anything. Sounds fucking fair.

    Especially when this injustice can be fixed with ease.

    The man is at the mercy of his decisions and the responsibilities towards his child. The mother has nothing to do with that responsibility.

    If you decide to make a child and change your mind 3 months into the pregnancy, too bad, dad. You don't get to force an abortion on someone no matter how much you wish you could.

    If your wife has a kid by someone else and you decide to be that kids father, you take that responsibility and no, you don't get to just suddenly stop cause you don't feel like playing house anymore.

    This is not complicated and it is hardly a travesty of justice that you are responsible for a child when you elect to become a parent. Under extenuating circumstances, you sue to give up paternity if you want, but you don't go halfway and raise the kid while not wanting to pay for it. I am all for a father in this situation receiving social assistance if he needs it, but you don't get to give up responsibility for your kids cause you don't want them all of a sudden.

    If a man wanted to stay with his wife/partner and ending up fathering a child outside of the relationship I bet the percent would be the same as with women. The big difference is the women would not be on the "hook" for child support like a man would.

    What is the fix for it? I am okay with there being a legal way for men to have their wish upheld when it comes to being a father because condoms are not 100%. But I am not okay with men not doing their part to protect themselves from unwanted pregancies by wearing a condom and than crying about being tricked. It is not about trust or anything like that it is about being responsible for yourself and your own birth control. When I hear about men being trapt I always ask "Did you wear a condom?", if not there was no trap you walked into that willingly.

    For married couples there is nothing I can say because if you married someone knowing they did not want children and you still purposely get one I don't feel the man should have to pay child for support for it if he did not want children in the first place.

    Which is simple to fix. You simply give the man the option to legally surrender his paternal rights and obligations during the pregnancy.

    But I am not okay with men not doing their part to protect themselves from unwanted pregancies by wearing a condom and than crying about being tricked. It is not about trust or anything like that it is about being responsible for yourself and your own birth control. When I hear about men being trapt I always ask "Did you wear a condom?", if not there was no trap you walked into that willingly.
    Are women required to provide proof of failed contraceptives when getting an abortion? Could you not in that case say they walked into their pregnancy willingly as well? How does society handle that one?

    The man should be able to give up his rights and obligations to the child, either pre-emptively or whenever he finds out about the pregnancy (i'm not sure which is the most feasible method). He should be liable for atleast half of the abortion payments and related expenses if the woman agrees to abort, or any fees related to putting the child up for adoption (if the woman doesn't want to abort but doesn't want to keep the kid). The woman still gets to choose if a kid is born or not, and what happens with the child.

    I do agree that if a man doesn't wear a condom with a women he has just recently met, that he's damn stupid. I don't know how you can work things like this into legislation though without causing other problems.

    This obviously doesn't solve the problem where the man has been decieved into fathering a child that wasn't his for a long time. It's not as prevalent of a problem though.

    Honestly, your sense of self-entitlement is staggering. You don't want to have to use condoms to prevent pregnancies, and you want to abdicate any responsibility for the children you make. Its points of view like this that make your movement look like a joke.

    Access to an abortion has nothing to do with whether or not contraception failed, so I don't really understand what your point is.

    Uh? In Sweden women are free to abort whenever they want to up until week 18. Why would they need a reason for an abortion?
