Do you think they will ever learn?

Guess what kiddies; you can't have your father back (at least, until he's done his stint in the pen), but you can have an extra slice of pepperoni, hold the anchovies http://www.ncprevue.com/blog |

Any tactics -- however unfair, prejudicial, and damaging to the children involved-- are OK in pursuit of the objective of making sure that fathers pay large amounts of tax-free money to the mothers of their children. No one ever mentions that, in the vast majority of cases, the obligation on these men to pay the money was imposed on them by the unilateral decisions of the women who want to get the money. Either the women initiated divorces over the objections of their husbands, or (in the case of illegitimate births) they were able to exercise post-conception reproductive choices that the law systematically denies to men. |

Well said! Are they minimizing the child's contact with their father so that the woman can get more free money, or are they awarding the woman more free money so that they can minimize the child's contact with their father? |
