Introduction

Child Support Laws are more recent than you might think.

Body

In the early nineteenth century, the courts in America that were dealing with the cases of divorce and marital breakdowns, found that the current laws don't provide for a support action. America had inherited many English laws in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and these laws found that the father had only a non-enforceable moral duty to support his children. In fact, English precedents actually forbid any third party from recovering the costs of support unless these costs had been pre-authorized by a contract with the child’s father.

There were some initial attempts to create some form of law in the mid 1850's but nothing materialized. But 100 years later we get:

The laws continued to develop into the twentieth century. In 1950, Congress passed the first Federal support enforcement legislation requiring State welfare agencies to notify appropriate law enforcement officials when it became necessary to provide aid to dependent children who had been abandoned or deserted by a parent.

...and things generally went downhill after that:

  • Social Security Act 1965

  • Social Security Act, Title IV-D 1975

  • Child Support Enforcement Amendments 1984

  • Child Support Enforcement Amendments 1988

  • Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act 1996

...with each new law Divorce Rape became more certain.

Conclusion

When we talk of the age of Marriage 1.0 we are talking about the 1800's when a marriage had a 95% success rate. (5% divorce)

Since there were no child support laws if a woman behaved badly you simply divorced her and that was the end of it.

Dread was built in because in nature women must fear losing their man, so this kept women feminine out of necessity.

The death of marriage began legally in 1950.
