State (Virgina) wants to know if you might be a dad

Submitted by WakeUp on Fri, 08/03/2007 - 13:24.

A new law in Virginia which was made effective July 1, 2007, requires sexually active men to register on a "potential father's" list. The state claims this will allow men who's kids are being put up for adoption to be notified if this happens, and possibly fight for custody. This is nonsense, men have no reproductive rights and the sate and women decide most things for us. The fact is that sex between unmarried adults is a misdemeanor in VA. Registration basically means admitting to sex crime. Will VA's sex offender registry to grow?

A man in England who is now 70, his ex-wife 61, has been ordered to pay £202,000 to her 30 years after their divorce. This order comes despite the fact the man raised and paid for their kids himself. He also gave his ex money and some investments after the divorce. He was married again and raised more kids with his second wife. The ex-wife fell on hard times financially after moving to an expensive part of Australia and making bad investments. Her lawyer says he should pay because he has millions.

Man pays $311,491 child support bill

Submitted by WakeUp on Thu, 08/02/2007 - 14:09.

An American man who took a trip to Hong Kong was almost forced to stay in the country and not allowed to return home. He was denied his passport until he paid $311,491 in child support. Lesson to be learned: Never forget that men are disposable sperm-donoring wage-slaves to women's reproductive rights.

DNA tests, new law could help some men escape child support

Submitted by WakeUp on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 19:47.

Finally! New laws in Florida and certain other states who are following suit now require DNA tests to prove or disprove that a particular man is the father in paternity cases. This could help men who are not the biological fathers but are still ordered to pay child support. One man was put in jail twice for not paying. Also, a landscaper was ordered to pay child support for a daughter who was not his for 18 years, then found out the truth from her mother when she turned 19. She is now 27. Her mother will not allow him to attend her wedding or walk her down the isle.

Florida Governor Supports Parental Alienation Awareness Day

Submitted by WakeUp on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 19:21.

Florida is now the 9th state to recognize PADD, a day devoted to raising awareness about parental alienation, or one parent turning their kids against the other. I'll let you take a random wild guess at which parents, moms or dads, are more likely to smear the other ones. N.O.W. Feminists claim men use accusations of parental alienation to get away with being abusive and that mothers are the more protective parents despite contradictory evidence.

Woman loses final embryo appeal

Submitted by WakeUp on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 22:56.

A woman lost her final appeal to have a child with an embryo fertilized by her ex partner. The ruling went in favor of the man having the rights to his genetic material, just as woman would probably have wanted if her eggs and the life of the child were held in the hands of men and the court system. The big question is this: If the decision went in her favor and she had the child (with him not interested in becoming a father AFTER they split up), would he have to pay child support?

'Duped dads' fight back in paternity cases

Submitted by WakeUp on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 22:37.

Here as a story of a man forced to pay for a child who is not his (not uncommon). Under Missouri law, he a man is considered the father as long as he is married to a woman who had a child. DNA evidence proves he is not, but this does not count where he lives. Notice some of the women commenting in this article say it is wrong for men to walk out on kids they have been supporting for several years and they should keep paying. Maybe a better solution would be to make paternity tests mandatory BEFORE proceedings instead of considering them .

C.A. Overturns Denial of Claim to Paternity of Dependent Child

Submitted by WakeUp on Tue, 05/08/2007 - 21:17.

A woman who raised a child for four years without telling the real father that he was in fact the father. When a judge found the mother to be unfit and decided to place the child in foster care, the woman finally told the man he was the father. The man, identified only as "Jesus H." in the story, wrote a letter to the court asking for a paternity test. The test was denied by Judge S. Patricia Spear from Los Angeles who said "I can’t find that it would be in the child’s best interest to even test to see if you are the father.

Activists say fathers' rights ignored in custody battle...

Submitted by WakeUp on Mon, 05/07/2007 - 18:47.

...but experts disagree. I guess Canada has the same divorced dad problem as America. These "experts" who disagree either never heard or ignored the statistics that kids who grow up without equal attention from an adult male are 9 times more likely than their peers to do drugs, commit violent crimes, get arrested or become pregnant. By the time you read the end of the story, you'll see Canada probably doesn't plan on making any changes either.
