child support if child not wanted?

yes i think the man should pay even if its half of it

I think he should pay,he made his decision,when he had sex,knowing that even with a condom,accidents can happen, so yes he should pay,why should the state keep his child for him.

Sure he should pay the support, if he is gonna be a jerk about it, and say the kid isn't his, he can pay for a DNA test, then once it is proven to be his, then he should pay for CS..

Unless he agreed for the woman to use frozen embryos after they split up then the man should pay half.

I think its hard for both men and women to raise a child they didnt really want. I do feel sorry for men because they dont hardly ever get a say. (not talking about couples who are both willing to start a family here, that is very different)

If a women doesnt want a baby then she can easily 'get rid' of it. I say easily though i know its not, but to some women it is as simple as 'getting rid' of it. Some women consider abortions to be types of contraception. Very irespnsible and i dont agree wiht it at all! In some cases the women wont even consult the man, even if he wants it and she doesnt she knows she has the power to do what she wants.

But for the man it is very difficult. If he doesnt want the baby for what ever reason but the women does its hard for him to back out of it. People people decide they dont want a baby for many reasons which could include its too early, they're too young, they cant give the baby everything it deserves ect. If a women aborted a baby because of this circumstances then it would be ok (generally rember everyone feels differently) but if a man turned and said he didnt want a baby because he couldnt give it everythimg it deserved but the women had it anyway the man would be seen as the one in the wrong by backing out and trying to get out of the baby's life ect. which can be rather unfair on the man.

People expect fathers to pay maintanance which is no suprise. But when they dont get a say or a part in the decision of what goes on in the child life then its hard for them because they have to pay for something they arnt ready for ect. However it takes too to make a baby so both men and women should accept what's been done even if they dont want it. Its called being mature and responsible. I think all men should pay but only if they get something back in return. And i dont mean no offence when i say this but some single mothers do take the money quite willingly but yet dont let the man see or be a part of the childs life and in my opinion this is as bad on the mothers side as it is if the father doesnt pay at all!
