Child support is the indentured servatude of the 21st century.
Mostly men will be labled as Dead Beat Dads for failure to pay even if no proof of paternaty has been given. In alot of cases Dads can be thrown in jail for not paying even if they can't afford the child support.....but don't fret....they still have to pay in prison that they went to for not paying and more than likely lost their jobs that helped them pay.
I'm not saying a man shouldnt financially support his Child but it is a completly unfair system here in the US. I've read Horror stories of a Dad that HAD custody of his children but still had to pay child support because when his Ex-wife had custody she was on wellfare. The state then continued the child support payments after he had won custody, because his wife was proven an unfit mother, because the state wanted to re-coup their costs of supporting the mother and children.
