Not true. If the father doesn't pay regardless to marriage, he doesn't pay. Makes no difference to single mothers and poverty.


Complete BS. laugh

If a man and woman are married and get divorced, the law can be used to force him to pay. It's a lot easier for a single guy to drop off the radar than some dude trying to get a divorce.


Court orders only work if the father allows them to.

There are lots of fathers with court orders who work under other social security numbers to stop from getting caught. And the really sneaky ones use their own kids social security numbers. The kids are too young for the numbers to be checked. So they work and never pay a dime. Until it is too late.

the law must first find out he isnt paying and then spend time and effort to prosecute him,,,meanwhile, the mom is struggling just as hard


Or the mom can say "Hey, he isn't paying"...



I agree, but that sentiment isnt quite as common in a culture which increasingly diminishes the significance of mothers and fathers in the first place,,,

many women feel its 'their' child, just like 'thier' body and they dont feel a desire or a right or an interest in having a fathers involvement anyhow

and some just dont want to have to beg him to step up and take care of what he should



,,,Im not such a woman, but the attitude is pretty prevalent


More often they just give up asking for help and telling the courts he isn't paying and the courts being unable to help her.

The good thing is they will take the child support out of his social security when he is old so he will eventually pay but it is too late to be a real help with the kids.

Explain to me how Lyndon Johnson (a famously racist President) fixed poverty? How did he prevent young people from having sex? How did he force them to get married before they got pregnant? How did he force them to finish HS or get a GED? You are so full of it.


I don't think you are capable of delivering a simple message without a personal insult and concerns over what people are doing with their penises.

The great society obviously didn't concern itself with social issues like marriage and child-bearing. These are concerns that have been with mankind forever, yet wealth and poverty have waxed and waned. the Great Society concerned itself with reducing poverty and reducing racial injustice. I don't care if Johnson was, in his heart, an old-style Texas racist. I am only interested in what his programs intended and accomplished. If you wish to discuss that stuff, knock yourself out. I'll listen.
