  • Just so you men know what you are up against ... you can be the best guy in the world, true to your friends, true to your family, true to the community and a loving caring person - But the only reason you are being singled out is so that in the end you will have to pay imputed child support for a child that you can't see, speak with, or know anything about. I was once idealistic and trusting too - end violence against women ... rah rah rah. In the end analysis .. I realized it's a scam to get idealistic young men into thinking they are the father of a child that may or may not be theirs. GET A PATERNITY TEST. Don't be scammed like millions of other fathers. Remember that the same people that are encouraging you today will also be the same people that will deny you access tomorrow. And you will live in poverty long enough so as to leave you poor for the rest of your lives... be smart, take care of yourselves. There is one other possibility : CUSTODY and even then the mother will not pay nor will the system help you get money from her for support... so you have to go it alone.

    A REAL heads up Men from someone who knows something about this real world we live in. Do not be played.
