i am paying child support to a woman that intentionally got pregnant with the intention of having a child and having someone else pay, not only the bills, but have a few hundred bucks a month left over. Is it possible that the government's intervention in the private lives of people is part of the problem. I believe that the problem lies not in the government's intervention necessarily, but more in its infinite ability to do the wrong thing. If the whole custody/support was equally fair for men and women, the problem would not be nearly so bad. My meaning there is that, not only would trash looking for the easy life, but women having a less than smooth relationship would be less likely to opt out of the relationship if it wasn't so easy. I would like to know how many women are out there that are doing the same thing that I am living with.
