In my experience, the dad usually settles out of court because he is either told by his attorney to settle or he runs out of money to pay his attorney, because the judge has already given temporary custody and child support to the mother.
I was afraid the Super Mario Bros. movie was going to do this, but they managed to make Princess Peach a strong character without weakening the male characters (except for the Rey Palpatine thing with Peach doing the obstacle course perfectly on the first try).
This. I was in academia for a long time, and surrounded by toxic feminists. They all had some guy in their past (sometimes daddy) whose behaviors they generalized to the male population at large. It was exhausting.
Because the entire mental health industry is geared towards women, and it's all to frequent that the cause of a woman's mental health issues is posited to be a man. I'm reading a book on C-PTSD right now, and the bias is ridiculous.
It doesn’t help that the “experts” fight against this concept tooth and nail, because the “expert” opinion on this matter is controlled by academic feminists.
There’s always support, because the state gets matching Title IV federal funds for each dollar in support it collects. The entire family court system relies on those funds, so they almost always order child support and often the maximum amount possible.
Boundaries are fine, but emotional support is one of the main reasons people enter relationships. That’s part of the whole “emotional intimacy” component.
Well, I’m not getting paid to teach you the meaning of words, so just wallow in your ignorance. Anyone with half a brain can see your disingenuousness for what it is.
Who wants the last word? If it’s apathy, then it’s disingenuous, because you know what I’m talking about but pretend like you don’t. Thanks for proving my point, dolt.
You pretend like you don’t know about one of the biggest news stories of the day. That’s disingenuous. Or, if you really don’t know about the story, a sign of serious ignorance. Good night, moron.
You might want to familiarize yourself with Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, specifically the part about matching Federal funds paid to states for each dollar of child support collected.
