Paying parents that try to make the payments, you keep on making the payments. You can not help support the whole household that your children live under and support your household as well. I believe that paying parents are being discriminated against and taken advantage of because there are not enough tax incentives to help them survive. I know that some paying parents may make a lot of money than they are paying, but some of them do not make enough to survive. And to all those that are trying to use their children as a control factor over the other, you need to show yourself and your children some respect. Whether you like it or not the other parent will be a part of that child's life someday.

Paying parents do have tax incentives. They can claim that child on their taxes.

actually this is more of a "men's right"
What makes this case special is that rather than pay the child support (or fail to pay, as often occurs), Dubay, represented by the National Center for Men, has filed a lawsuit in federal court. Dubay claims that he has a right under the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution, to cut off all ties to his unwanted biological child.

Simple, you made the Child, so Pay for the Child. the Child is the only person who has no say in the arguments of the Parents, and if you see fit to walk out on the household, then don't walk out on your Child.

You should have gotten a Snip-Snip-its-Over Vasectomy if you didn't want the financial "burden" of paying for a life you helped to create. Kids cost money, and lots of it. I know of too many fathers who worked really hard to keep their assets hidden and to make their earnings seem less than they really were. So, in the end it is the children who suffer because they must go without. This is the flipside of the coin you just introduced to us.

Ok you are obviously some guy who dropped his pants,got off and made a kid with someone and are now pissed because you have to pay to help support the child you made.
No one owes you anything,you made a child 1st before you got on with your life,if things are tight with your new family that's too bad,a child should not have to do without so that you can support a family that came after the child you 1st made.

No, it does not discriminate. You made the baby, now you pay if you don't stay married. If that means that you can't maintain two households, that's just too bad.
I agree that using the kids as pawns is extremely poor behavior.

My biggest complaint has always been that they will enforce payment but will NOT force the custodial parent to allow visitation when it is also court ordered.

You created the child, it is half your responsibility. You chose to leave. You're still responsible. The custodial parent should not be punished.
