the parties broke up. the custodial parent sought public assistance. the government had every right to seek support from the biological parent.
if it were a man and woman who weren't married, and the woman had a child that wasn't the biological child of the man she was living with, would that man be charged with support if he and the woman broke up?
the answer's no, ....
why do you have an issue with men paying child support?
do what?
What sort of problem do you imagine I have? I think ANYONE of EITHER gender who doesn't pay child support that is owed is scum. So I'm confused by your comment.
As for your scenario. Yes , I have seen situations where a man and women were married, adopted a kid then later divorced and the man was ordered to pay child support. I've also seen instances where a man and woman were just living together then broke up and the actual biological father was chased down for child support.
It's entirely a case by case decision , that is why I said earlier IF the circumstances were exactly the same .
no you haven't seen anyone ordered to pay child support for a child who wasn't theres or who they didn't adopt.
maybe your complaint should be with the state not treating lesbians and heterosexuals equally? because, if you actually read your article, you'll see that the women don't want the donor paying child support.
and here in lays the issue with lesbians having baster babies children with the involvement of a third party who is not a sperm bank.
The the two gay partners want to have a baby together... GREAT!! Any baby should be considered theirs and and theirs alone..... no one else. Just as if it were a man and woman shacking up together... THEY are responsible.
