I do not think it is fair that a single Mom should be footing the bill, all by herself. The deadbeat Dad should share in the cost too. By the same token, a single Dad should not be footing the bill all by himself, the deadbeat Mom should be contributing . I have yet to hear of a case where that is happening. Where is the equality factor now? That is why, when it comes to dating, I prefer woman with grown kids, so there are no hassles involved...just saying...

I find most single mum's and dad's are anything but deadbeats.


Not according to the stats...which are barely exposed by media...try going to canadiancrc.com to get further info....yes, I was surprised too...

in America, only a parent or legal guardian can be held responsible for child support'


a legal guardian would have to do more than have a 'relationship' with the mother, but have lived with her and the child or married/been married to her

I dont know where you are from but actually that happens quite a bit
depending on how the joint custody is figured out and the income levels of both parties..it can be split right down the middle



I can only comment on what I see here up in the frozen north...Notwithstanding joint custody....when it comes to sole custody, the figures show that 68% of men pay up as compared to 57% of women...further info can be obtained at canadiancrc.com...all I am saying...Yes, there are websites dedicated to deadbeat Moms and Dads...just got to read some of the stuff to form an opinion....Yes, I was surprised to....

the problem is children are more than just a 'bill', they also are humans with needs that involve human involvement,,

this is why the DESIGN of a mother and father is best,, between TWO people they can divide those roles much more simply

however, when they are not sharing a life anymore,, the kids needs don't change, and its not BEST for the kids for both parents to be out at jobs and the custodial parent also trying to fit in all the other childs needs while the non custodial just has the government take funds out their check


the equality doesn't happen when couples are together,, if one requires everything to be 50/50, its not going to happen when they are apart''

unless they are the exceptional couple who actually has an agreement for one party to actually TAKE CARE of their child half the year and the other party to do it the other half,, which makes it easier of course for both to spend at least half the year being out earning a check,,,

So you are saying its kinda futile searching for a 50/50 relationship...as I am doing right now....after a pretty good 60/40 marriage....Mann! do i have to find a new strategy now????

I if you have a relationship with a single mother, you could be legally responsible for child support payments. If she is on Public Support, the Government could force YOU to pay. This is the Government "seeing you" as a father figure.
* I guess The Government is now in our bedrooms.
* Just wondering what your thoughts are ...



This may be true where you live but not in the States.. Only way here that one can be seen as the father is if his name is on the Birth Certificate..Or he claims to be the biological father or agrees to take that responsibility.

They do ask for the fathers name regardless if the woman is married or not..At times it will be left blank if the mother refuses to name the father or really don't know.

If a woman names someone when going to court for child support even if she did not on the Birth Certificate. And the guy says it is not his then they will notify the guy and request they come in for a DNA test. If he is actually the father then he will be responsible for child support if not then they are not responsible for the child.

As far as dating a woman that is on public support they could careless who you are dating. Now if in fact you move in with her or her with you and she is getting public assist. Then yes they will evaluate the situation for now there is another income coming in and what they get as far as public assist will change..

Which in fact it should be, why should the government( our tax dollars) give support where it is not needed?

As far as Child support in the states unless you are the biological father they will not enforce you to pay child support nor can they.

And they will not enforce Child Support on the biological parent if you have never filed for it..

there is also the case of stepparents, if a woman is married at time of birth, the husband is considered the father unless she has noted otherwise on the birth certificate

and if he accepts responsibility at that time and supports that child, he will have the obligation to continue with that support should the relationship end

Hello TxsGal333
As you say:
1/"Which in fact it should be, why should the government( our tax dollars) give support where it is not needed?

2/As far as Child support in the states unless you are the biological father they will not enforce you to pay child support nor can they.

3/And they will not enforce Child Support on the biological parent if you have never filed for it..

* Line 1 and 3 would seem to conflict

the government cant know its needed unless you tell them

or unless you apply for federal assistance, which automatically attaches a child support investigation to try to recoup the funds

Or c/ clarity and thoughts
ciretom, thanks.
* As you say "You won't find very many examples of successful lawsuits for child support from ex dates."

Soooooo it does happen ?

I just wish it was clearer as to were the line is. As cities find ways of saving money, this could happen more often.
