They are forced neither.

My ex is supposed to see my son and pay child support.
He barely sees him, and since December doesn't have to pay apparently.

Exactly.
The same goes for the woman's side, even if abortion is made illegal, there are always ways around laws if she really does want the baby.

Sign over your parental rights and you don't have to pay child support or look at it.

Hey, that sounds like my father. He owes over $30,000 in child support (not including the interest). He might be going to jail for not paying and I hope he does.

No fathers are forced to spend time with the child, only to pay child support. Source: I have a deadbeat father.

What? Keeping it gender-neutral.

but they're not "forced" they deduct their wages so if they get paid under the table and have no other assets they cant force them to pay anything at all and technically owe the money but they child/mom will never see it, also guys can force a girl to pay child support if she leaves because that does happen too. my fathers never paid a dime.

did you hear about the guy that got sentenced to six months in jail because he paid too much child support and spent too much time with his child after the terms of his separation agreement were altered without his knowledge?

they're not required to spend time. And paying child support does not equal being a father.
my friend's dad paid child support regularly for 18 year, and he's never tried to contact her even after her mom passed away.

I don't think they can be legally forced to spend time with the child, only have to pay support.

isn't it the childs right to see his father? (Just wondering, always thought it was)

tell that to black children

No?
What made you think that?

Yes they do. But the parent has a right to not see them.

/stalk but don't spoiler me I can't read em lol

If the parent doesn't want to meet them then the right of the child has sorta disappeared...
But you spoilered first! But you spoilered first!

Not really, it is just ignored. Like my right to do what I want being as noisy as I want is ignored because people around me have the right to live in peace.

That's because in that case the Benefit of society > the Benefit of one.

It's same, the child still has rights they just aren't fulfilled.

Well, adopted kids have the right to see their birthparents, so I thought that also applied to normal children who want to see their parents
