I would just like to point out that while child support is for the child, it isn't meant to be designated as $$ ONLY to purchase things for the child. It's to support a lifestyle which is best for the child. If mom needs cable tv to be human, that means it's for cable tv.
If the dad doesn't like it, he has the option of making a bid for custody so he can raise the kid exactly as he wants. Well, sort of.
As to a dad who didn't want to be a dad being potentially a bad father so we shouldn't "make" him be a parent, well that's just silly. I think it likely that fully 50 percent of more of all parents, moms and dads, initially don't particularly want to be parents. Tough crap for them. They get over it or deal with it, it's like any job. Sometimes you like it sometimes you don't, but most of us still have to work, and we do our best to be good employees. Just because you don't like to work doesn't mean that somebody else should pay your bills for you.
