Between $3000 and $4000? I paid about $1200 out of pocket for a real licenced midwife, including several pre and post birth appointments. Who's paying this crank that much? Wow.

If a parent kills someone trying to kidnap or hurt their child the parent should not be prosecuted. You have no idea whether someone is going to kidnap your child to traffic, molest, or murder them. Your baby is in mortal danger if someone tries to abscond with them because there's no good reason for them to do so and should use whatever force is appropriate to the situation at hand including killing the kidnapper. I'd go to jail for a decade on manslaughter before I'd let my child be kidnapped …

I mean she's still on the hook for it even though you can't really collect from her. Even though they can't touch my VA disability doesn't mean I won't have arrearage if I quit my real job. Do they at least intercept her tax returns to cover some of the arrearage? That really sucks, man.

If you volunteer, you get a choice (to a point), but given the size of our military and how well it's currently staffed, the situation that would require a draft would probably preclude any choice of assignment. (If the US had to draft soldiers, it's probably going to be for the front lines because our force is depleted, and we're not going to waste time training women to be finance clerks, cooks, etc.)

Although I believe common core math nonsense like this is silly, the intent isn't really to solve the problem with it always, but to teach children number sense by rounding to numbers that are easier to add or subtract. It's essentially the same as adding $4.95, $3.95, and $2.95, by rounding to $5, $4, and $3 and then subtracting the $0.15. I think it's more confusing then helpful, but anything that gets children doing basic math in their heads is better than reliance on calculators.

Knowing how to use a firearm safely is important, yes, but having the wisdom to know when to use a firearm is key. You do do not pull a firearm on someone unless you intend to shoot them and possibly kill them. Guns are for killing... The amount of people that think they can wave a gun around and make a problem go away is sickening. I'm all for our right to bear arms, but unless you're ready for the consequences of killing someone dead permanently, you shouldn't own a firearm. I simply don't thi…

You're right. If I knew what I know now, I would have never had children. Because the system took my children away from my influence and allowed my ex to poison them against me, I don't even have children anymore, just a financial burden that will affect me until I'm 40 and will never ever fully recover from. The fact that my "arrearage" is reported as a collection debt, has even destroyed my prospect of ever being afforded any type of credit, so I can't get a mortgage or buy a car on credit. Yo…

Yeah. Imputed income is also the way the force you into working slave hours. I dodged a bullet recently...

Maybe, I'm not following... You can't kidnap a child that is yours since you are responsible for them... In the absence of a court order, he's simply taking his child. Her vagina doesn't give her a superior right over the child when there's no order in place.

Someone here is going to say he's lucky that there's no order for child support and let her go... She'd absolutely be able to decide 10 years from now that he should have been paying support and he'd instantly be 10k or more in arrears, so don't do that.

Here is a link to the IRS FAQ publication for non-custodial parents. Basically to claim your child as an exemption each year you need to have a Form 8332 (signed by the 50%+ parent). We all know that this isn't going to happen. I've claimed my children as dependents without this form (my ex-wife is un-employed and I'm pretty sure she doesn't know that she's eligible for Child Tax Credit with any non-zero income (i.e. claim $100 babysitting income and she can file for CTC), so it hasn't been an i…

We were still doing 2 miles in the Army (Air Force does 1.5mile?) when I left, but seriously, if you can't run 2miles in less than 15:30 as ANY gender, why are you in the military? A 15:36 2 mile is 100% for a 17-21 year old female... measly 64% barely passing for a male.

PT standards were a point of contention for me my entire career. It's ridiculous. A 17-21 year old male needs to do 42 push-ups to pass with a 60%. A 17-21 year old female needs to do 19 push-ups to pass with a 60%. They are completely incomparable.

Having seen it first hand (as a US Servicemember) rape culture is out of control in the military. Commanders have the discretion to non-judicially punish "rapists" with little to no evidence and do so nearly every time the prosecutor believes that there isn't enough evidence to convict a soldier. These are counted as rape "convictions" in nearly all the statistics. IMO you're more likely to be falsely accused of rape than be raped in the military.

Just in case any young soldier comes across this. AR 608-99 is the Spousal Support regulation. If you find yourself in a situation where divorce is imminent and you want to limit the damage financially prior to your actual divorce. You want to know this regulation. It's a UMCJ offense not to support your spouse financially. Best thing you can take from this is in Chapter 2. As long as you have a "written spousal support agreement" the Army can't touch you.

Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed "discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce".

Because child support isn't really for the kids. It's [welfare] in disguise. FTFY. The government doesn't want to fund welfare and government support programs for the thousands of women that make bad decisions and have kids when they can't afford it, so they they go for the easy mark, men.

Wow... that's messed up. State funded obesity. If I was a California taxpayer, I'd not be happy about my tax dollars going to government funded programs to buy poor people chicken nuggets. You could spend $25 bucks to "cheaply" feed your family at McDonalds for 1 meal... $25 would buy at least 3-4 meals if it were spent on groceries.

I've often heard this said, but never had it explained to me. My ex-wife receives child support equal to the amount that is garnished from my check. How is it that the amount of support effects the amount of funding they receive?

You are very correct.

There's no question that the child may have a "legal right" to the man's money, but that doesn't mean that the law is correct, just, or moral. The system is flawed. There's no recourse for the man who may just be the victim of paternity fraud. What are we supposed to do? Pay child support to any woman who happens to scribble our names on birth certificates 10 years ago and not tell us? I'm not a no-deposit-needed-certificate-of-deposit that can be cashed in whenever a woman wants to go for my as…

Well, we know it could, but I'm not sure it would. Do you really think the woman in this case is seeking child support in the interest of the child that's already supported by the man who was obviously willing to take on the burden (he married her when she had a child), or is she motivated by greed?

The American Cancer Society actually predicted more deaths from prostate cancer than breast cancer in 2010 based on numbers from 1995 to 2006. (Can't find the actual numbers from 2010.)

Does anyone really think that the majority of feminists believe this way? Certainly this is an outlier in the same way that men that think women are inherently inferior. If some MRA wrote a sexist manifesto stating that all women were baby making animals that deserved no more than to be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen, would you want the feminists making broad strokes against the Men's Rights Movement?

Police knock on door. Show woman court order giving her ex primary custody of daughter. Daughter practically runs out door happy to go with police. Woman rants and raves and tries to play to the policeman's emotions. "You can't take my daughter." Officer is really really cool. Tries to explain. Woman irrational. Near end says the custodial dad beats the girl. TL;DW Ignorant woman doesn't understand that the police can take your child to enforce a custody order.

Perhaps someone should contact the police department in Rockridge and make them aware of the existence of the video. IANAL, but couldn't this be a form of libel or defamation? The poor officer is just doing his job, but she says he's kidnapping her. Kudos to the officer for keeping his cool, but if I were him, I wouldn't have spent half the time explaining it to her that he did.

From the article: This is the same pissed off cop that will be at your door arresting you because he automatically believes you hit her, just because she said so, and that pisses him off. He is the same cop that will kick down your door and train a gun on your head as his buddies slap the cuffs on you because the woman with whom you are engaging in a custody battle says you raped her.

I truly believe that the "chain of custody" paternity testing (legal paternity testing) should include both potential parents in the chain of custody of the samples. Tamper evident tape + signatures. You cannot believe how much undue stress I've been caused by a simple question my tester asked me when she took my samples for a paternity test. It seemed almost conversational when she said it, friendly banter, but she asked "Are there any kids you're sure aren't yours?" I answered the question and…

I got this email too. I'm kind of upset that change.org decided to send me this trash because I decided to sign another unrelated petition. I wish I could be as well worded as some of you, because I'd Shelby Knox a nice email explaining why I can't support a dying woman having custody of children.

Depending on the state, it may be in "the best interest of the child" for a non-biological father to pay. I was one of those unlucky souls for about a year (granted I was married to the woman when she gave birth of the child and she did put my name on the birth certificate without my knowledge), but that was remedied by some excellent lawyer'ing.

I make about $36,000 gross a year before child support, my ex-wife get's $971/month from me. That's $11,652/year. That's nearly 33% of my total income. You know what? I have more wiggle room in my finances than I EVER did married to her. $971 is MUCH less than she would have spent on herself and the kids each month out of our joint bank account. I know everyone's situation is different and it is unfair as fuck that she and her boyfriend get free money, but I'm lucky as hell it's not more.

My personal opinion, but it worked out for me. Sometimes when a lawyer has low rates, it's because he's not the best lawyer. Make sure you rate shop, but don't automatically chose the cheapest lawyers. I'd much rather spend $300/hour for a lawyer that is going to be available and useful to me than spend $150/hour on a lawyer that has a case load that's too big for him and who's never available. I spent $5000 on a lawyer to contest paternity and he saved me $300/month the next 12 years. That's $4…

State law? It should be Federal... I think every child has a right to know who his natural parents are. No father should EVER be named legally responsible for a child until he's proved to be the father.

This could go either way honestly... parental responsibility does not always pass to the natural father if the mother dies. I think the best scenario would be both natural parents having parental responsibility for the child after mandatory paternity testing is done.

It would certainly be hard for him to prove that he didn't impregnate her naturally. She was his girlfriend, and they certainly had vaginal sex during those two years they were together.

It's worse when a judge orders child support halfway through the custody battle and you're essentially paying her court costs on top of your own. At that point it doesn't matter how long it takes... she just has to wait until your bank account is dry. This happened to me.

In a lot of cases it just comes down to a lack of proof for either side of the story. The same reason they can't prosecute the man for rape is essentially the same reason they can't accuse her of false rape allegations. Unless it was consensual sex that was recorded or someone was standing in the room watching you have sex there's just not much to go on, especially in cases where the lines are blurred. i.e. non-violent spousal rape.

Same thing here. In Texas, if you're married to a woman, you're presumed to be the father, whether or not it was even possible that you could have conceived that child. Unfortunately if I ever want to stop paying for the child, it is my burden to find the biological father.
