Disclaimer: This is completely hypothetical. I'm genuinely curious because I don't know the answer. However, I know there are a bunch of 12-year-olds who will post two-word flames. I wish the mods would delete these posts.

So, yeah. Man has sex with woman. Woman gets pregnant (e.g. condom breaks, lies about birth control, pull out too late, etc.).

Baby undeniably belongs to man (e.g. man doesn't deny it, DNA shows it, etc.)

Man decides he wants nothing to do with woman and never speaks to her again.

Is woman now entitled to sue man/ask for child support/etc.? If so, what can the man do in response?

Please don't turn this into a thread about MORALS. It's obvious that guys who do this are pretty scummy. I'm just curious about how the law handles it.

Bend over and take it in the ass financially for the next 18 years.

When it comes to babies between a man and a woman, unfortunately morals quite literally have nothing to do with it.

Basically. The woman can get a court to decide on the amount of child support a man has to pay out AND get the money to come directly from the man's paycheck...shows up on your paystub as CHSUP along with everything else that is automatically taken out.

If he is proven to be the father, he is responsible for child support.

The man has a legal responsibility to provide for the child. In response, he can raise it or pay child support. What is confusing you?

She only has it easy if she gets you to sign the birth certificate as the father

I didn't know if there were contingencies -- e.g. that they had to be married, or something to that effect.

What can a man do? Move to another country. If you really want the obligation, take the child with you.

Man accidentally gets girl pregnant. Man wants abortion. Woman does not. They take it to court. Who wins? Why?
Reverse situation. Man wants the child, woman does not. Take it to court. Who wins?

If she pursues it, it's call garnishment. If you don't pay, in some states, they will suspend your license. So, like K1052, bend over and take it for the next 18yrs.

But if I guy knowingly doesn't support his child :thumbsdown:, he's scum and should get bent over!!!!!

How does a guy "accidently" get a girl pregnant? Did he trip and fall on her with his dork sticking out? Really, if you don't want the consequences, don't do the deed....

One word: Responsibility

Don't wanna be a daddy, don't stick the babymaker where that might happen.

In virtually every state, it's the woman's right to choose what happens to the baby. If she decides to have it, say bye-bye to 18 years of CHSUP wage garnish.

Or you could run, but that's just dishonorable.

IIRC, the woman gets the final say in all cases provided she is competent.

Once again, this isn't a thread about morals. It is a thread about legal obligations.

What kind of accident was it? Were you walking down the street, minding your own business when you tripped and your pen1s accidentally got stuck in her and went off?
