Yes there are laws. They either pay half their paycheck or go to jail. Did you know only 7% of fathers in this country do not pay child support? Did you know that the friend of the court system is one of the biggest government entities in the country? And yes men are willing participants but so are the women. The women have a choice after they get pregnant the men don't. And many women tell the men they are on the pill or just plain can't get pregnant. Question is when will the women quit blaming the men for their mistakes? When will they quit having kids with diferent father's? When will they quit living off child support and the welfare system? And by the way I am a woman and used to think the same way you are, but the facts are the system is messed up and the men have no rights. I have been fighting with friend of the court for 2 years now and I can assure you they do not have the best interest of the child in mind!
