Only applies when you dont want to be involved in child's life

Prevention is better than cure

Always be in the control of your own Birth Control

Use condoms, get a vasectomy. It doesnt matter what she said before you had sex. If she get pregnant you are fucked. Even if you are raped and she get pregnant you are fucked. So be careful

Build the war chest before the siege

You gonna need money, if you think you dont, it will cost you more. SAVE NOW Few thousand dollars, and a functioning credit card will go a long fucking way. Without a lawyer you can do a lot of stupid shit that will cost more to revert even if thats possible.

Again you cannot have too much saved. If worst never happens u will have money saved so win-win.

When you get the letter

When you get the letter against you for child support, DONT PANIC. Any mistake here will cost you. Dont do stupid shit, Dont sign anything, Dont Run away, Dont quit your job etc.

Calm down and start to plan for what to do next. Note the deadline in the court order and ingrain it in your brain. If you miss that without cause, a default judgement will be issued against you.

Familiarity and Lawyer

Make yourself familiar with how these kind of things go in court. As much detail as possible. Again time to research lawyers is now. Its easy to fuck up lawyers search when you are under pressure and stress. Do it now when u are likely to make less mistakes

Paternity

Get a DNA test. Pay for only your child. You gonna have to do a court ordered test.

Pregnancy Announcement

Some of you may get "lucky" in the sense that you are informed of pregnancy beforehand. START SAVING 25 PERCENT OF YOUR INCOME. Not only you will prepare yourself for the time you have to pay CS, but also have some cushion if you loose your job

Fight, Fight, Fight

Dont loose hope, go to court and make sure you get a fair deal on Child Support. You are fucked, just try to be minimize the fucking.

Virgin Father

If you think you cant get fucked if you havent had sex, you are wrong. You only need one greedy woman and you can be hook for CS if you make a mistake. Prepare for it and pray that it never happens to you.

Credit Cards

Credit card debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy, CS is not. A credit card can keep your ass out of jail long enough to fix the issue

Never Give Up on Life

It will be okay.
