Just knocked up my 18 year old gf. I'm 28 and still not ready for this type of commitment. Even though I pleaded with her to get an abortion, she wont do it. She tells me that she's going to keep it with or without me in her life...so I've decided to bolt the state to avoid child support payments. I've got some friend who live out of state and I've made plans to go live with them.

My question is - can she still get me for child support? (pic not related)

>>16643909
She told me she was on the pills bro...I told her that I didn't want kids. The bitch trapped me. Yea, I feel bad for her but fuck...I'm not ready to be a dad. If she's gonna force it...then its all her.
>>
I'm genuinely curious (not OP here).

Why isn't going with her to an government office and do the necessary paperwork? When such threads come up most would rather flee the country. Also how does it work if say the man don't want to pay but the women insists? How much say does she have?
>>
>>16643917

You're an idiot. It's not "all her". There's going to be a child. That child will grow and learn and become an actual person. You don't have to like the child's mother or stay with her or think anything of her.

But you can still choose to not be a fucker regarding your future kid.
>>
>>16643920

You're legally required to support your own child. This will be enforced by court if any party starts a lawsuit over it. There's no "having a say".
>>
>>16643920
She has 100% of the say. All these young women feel responsible for another human life the instant they get pregnant no matter how bad of a decision it is for everyone involved. Honestly if my GF got pregnant and wouldn't abort it I'd bolt on the principle that she's fucking stupid for making such a bad decision. Then I'd be stuck with child support bills and she'd be stuck with no man and greatly diminished market value to get a man. Single mothers are a cancer upon society.
>>
>>16643925
It's my life - its her decision. Goes both ways, doesn't it?

Thanks for answers guys. And holy shit you have to fucking tell teenagers that in sex ed to have them use condoms. This shit is worse than to get STDs

What do you mean "it goes both ways"? Did you read what I wrote? This is about a person, not about your freedom and pride. If you ever thought that there might come a time in your life where you can choose to not be a dick, it's now. And it doesn't matter what decisions other people made to put you there. You can choose to not accept reality, or you can try to make the best of it.

It's not about the gf, it's about the kid's life at this point.
You don't even have to fucking live with her, just send money so the child won't have a fucked up life. It's the bare minimum you can do.
When you chose to have sex, you knew the risks. You are old enough to deal with life.

There are so many worse of people in the world.

Sending money to some kid you have no emotional attachment to doesn't really make any sense.

It's different when you tried to make a kid and then got separated from the mother. In that situation it makes sense to keep the life style the kid is used to up.

When the woman traps the man to an unwanted child and the kid isn't even used to any particular lifestyle there is no real reason to do it.

Just because there are worse things doesn't mean doing bad shit is suddenly okay.
>Sending money to some kid you have no emotional attachment to doesn't really make any sense.
By having sex with someone, knowing that a child is a possibility, you literally become responsible for that child's life if it's born and doesn't get aborted or miscarried. No ifs, ands, or buts.

>It's different when you tried to make a kid and then got separated from the mother. In that situation it makes sense to keep the life style the kid is used to up.
It's only "different" because in that case, you would be the one who wanted the kid. You're just being selfish. Why should the child pay for the mother wanting to "trap" you?

>When the woman traps the man to an unwanted child and the kid isn't even used to any particular lifestyle there is no real reason to do it.
"Single mom lifestyle" generally doesn't work for anyone. If this kid turns out homeless or becomes the next Adam Lanza, it's basically on you. The fact that their mother is shitty enough to attempt to "trap " someone with a pregnancy shows you how well she can be trusted with a human life.
>>
>>16644045

>Why should the Child pay.

Couldn't give two shits about the kid. I care about me and no one else. If some bitch wants to try and trap me with a kid, I'll show her the door.
>>
>>16643997

No. The best you can hope for is that the mother just wants you out of her life.

However, if she comes to a court asking for child support and they figured out you ran, they can restrict shit from you all across the nation.
>>
>>16644053
Seems like she WILL really care for the child, given the fact she entrapped you and all. Guess who's gonna get entrapped next? Happy family!
>>
>>16643917
Sucks for the kid, but yea you made the right move if she really did trap you. However if you were just being unsafe get fucked. And yes, it's going to take more than moving states to get out of child support.
>>
>>16643935
And it was your decision to fuck her, fucktard. You should know that there is never a surefire way to prevent conception (besides abstinence). Just get an onahole like all the other losers if you aren't mature enough to handle the consequences of fucking a real girl.

You are doing bad shit right now by not giving everything you own and sending it to africa

The difference between your starwman and my post is that murder is actively making someone else be worse of while what OP is doing is just ignoring the situation the same way you ignore all other suffering all the time.

>knowing that a child is a possibility
He couldn't reasonably expect that and there was intentional deceiving involved too.
With anything else besides a kid this would automatically be under fraud and OP would win.

>You're just being selfish. Why should the child pay for the mother wanting to "trap" you?

Wow. The kid's better off without you if that's how you actually feel.

Anyway, your gf says that she's keeping the kid, but is she insisting that you'l pay child support? Because she could just leave your name off the birth certificate. It's possible for her to still have the child without making you legally obligated to pay.

Have you talked to her about this?

I'm a different anon but read the literature. Even with perfect use, the pill isn't 100% effective; Nothing is. On top of that, being sick, throwing up, taking it even a few hours late, all interfere with it's effectiveness.

It's his fault for having sex not knowing that there is ALWAYS a 1 in 1,000 possibility of a kid unless he gets himself sterilized.

Regardless of if she did everything perfect, he put her dick in her and participated in making this kid. A real man owns up here.

To be honest, you should go to court and spin this as a "man's right to choose" thing. Maybe it would even get national attention.

If I ever knocked up a girl I didn't want to have kids with it's what I would do. Because it really is fucked that woman are allowed to have abortions and total reproductive control, but if a woman lies to a man he is basically fucked.

You might change history!

>>16644118
There is no share he ows. He didn't make any promises and didn't want the kid. He didn't promise the kid any particular living standard.
The mother made all the decisions and OP offered his contribution.

Only thing I would be willing to pay would be cost of abortion because that is what he actually ordered.


>>16644126

Abortion is 100% effective.
If for some reason the pill failed and neither parent wanted a child (if the woman did want one why is she on a pill) you can always get an abortion.

The difference is the deception.
A real woman doesn't deceive.

No, see, if he doesn't pay the child suffers. He made a conscious decision to fuck. Every human learns in grade school that babies can happen when you fuck. The baby did not choose to be born. We have a situation where either the father 'suffers' by having to pay a bill, or the child suffers by not having enough food to eat. And if you ever took even a basic course in law, you would know that courts and lawmakers will always look after the wellbeing of children first over that of adults. Because children are innocent.

2.) Child support enforcement is FEDERAL as well as local
3.) He can go to jail for not paying it

and is a 28 year old actually seriously talking about dumping and blaming all his problems on an 18 year old and running away to let her deal with it.

Not the most reliable source to say the least.

100% effectiveness is not biologically possible for any medicine. Sometimes, to put it scientifically, shitnjusu happens. As you can read about with two seconds of google searching, or on any pamphlet that comes with every pack of birth control pills, they're 99.something% effective when used perfectly and 92% effective when used typically.

http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2011/05/06/when-pill-still-have-condoms/

1) You should've had the "what do we do if pregnancy happens?" discussion with your girlfriend when you started having regular sex. If you have different ideas on what you would want, don't take the risk.

2) You're 28 and you can't afford child support? What state are you in?

3) If the consequences of sex are life-ruiners for you, here's a thought: wear a fucking condom. Unless you used a contraceptive of your own, this is more your fault than it is hers, because you made the contraceptives entirely her responsibility. What did you do on your end to prevent this? All contraceptive methods can fail, so double up. Especially if you're the one that's more hurt for the failure.

4) Fleeing the state will probably not work. Talk to her about what she expects. She might not expect child support, though that could change years down the line.

5) Talk to a lawyer. /adv/ can only do so much.

Catholics are very strongly against abortion, which is what I was obviously talking about. This "trapping" is speculation and nothing more. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. We, alas, cannot speak to her nor read her mind. But we do know the law, which says you pay child support or go to court and eventually jail. Nothing we say or speculate changes that.

I am going to tell you what I intend on telling my son about sex when he becomes a teenager.

Regardless of protection, regardless of careful planning, regardless if you do everything right or she told you she was on the pill or she lied to you through her teeth and is an awful person that deceived you...

If you take the chance to put your dick in her, then statistically it COULD happen. Always be prepared for that sobering fact that you are playing russian roullette with a 300 round revolver where 299 of the bullets are orgasms and 1 bullet is a life changing commitment.

It's kind of unfair.
I mean if the woman gets pregnant and wants an abortion, and the man is against it, then she STILL gets to make the final call.

Then if the man isn't ready she STILL gets to make the final call.

This is why I keep my frozen sperm in labeled jars. So that I can get a vasectomy and still reproduce at some point.

I just don't understand, I mean women are pretty much omnipotent when it comes to these matters, and you guys think that's okay?

What happened to equality? Not tumblr shit where wymyn bitch about such mundane things it feels like satire, but actual equality where you can't bring another human into existence unless both involved parties want to.

Imagine how much better it would be if people had to terminate pregnancies unless both parents wanted to go through with it.

>The childs upbringing is more important than the fathers happiness

Why?
>>
Alright OP. I've been posting since you started this thread and it's time to turn in. I'm glad most of /adv/ has common sense, <3 u guyz. To sum up the points I've made, in case you've forgotten:

1. We learn in grade school how babies are made
2. We learn in high school that no form of contraception is 100% effective
3. She may or may not have intentionally trapped you, but it does not matter either way because:
4. Paying child support is the law
5. We need to follow the law or face the consequences of breaking it
6. They will find you if you run
7. Having to pay a bill is not the end of your life
8. If you don't pay, the child is a victim
9. The law will always look out for the needs of the children over yours
10. You will not be forced to pay more than you can reasonably afford
11. Read the information at the links I posted
12. You're an idiot and a coward
13. I'm still amazed that you're 28

Good day sir

Wouldn't it be better for the child if it was actually wanted by both parents?

It really is, but it's shitty situation all around and nobody really wins. Its about harm reduction at this point.

The man and woman both make their decision when they have unprotected sex. Even in cases of fraud, the man still made a conscious decision to risk the chance of conception.

That risk carries a degree of moral blameworthiness. The father cannot escape responsibility to the detriment of the child.
>>
How much does she know about you? Maybe you should delete your Facebook
>>
>>16644458
But why are men only taking such a risk?

If a man wanted to keep the child then he either would not be able to convince the women to do so, OR he would end up having to absolve the women of parental responsability.

It's bullshit. Just because it's the law doesn't mean it isn't bullshit.

All this does is create a bunch of children with fucked up home lives, because they are simultaneosly blamed for the absense of their father from the mothers side AND blamed for the low quality of life from the fathers side.

It's detrimental to the child. Being unwanted fucks people up and nobody will want this child.

I didn't say that. The woman takes an equal risk when she has unprotected sex, and she shares the responsibility of raising it should conception occur.

Exactly this. If the mother wants to keep the child against the father's wishes, she should have the sole responsibility of taking care of the child.
Unfortunately, there are only two forms of birth control available to guys at the moment: a condom, and a vasectomy. And getting a vasectomy when you're young enough that a child would fuck up your life and you aren't yet financially independent is nearly impossible; many doctors will actually turn you away from the procedure, because when the time comes that you might want to have a child, you will be unable to.

You ignored my central point. Yes, she is raising thee child for 18 years, because she is CHOOSING to.

If she chose to not want to raise the child, she could have an abortion. Are there risks? Yes. Are there risks if she decides to carry the child to term? Also, yes. By your own logic, she chose to take on those risks when she had sex.

The man had gone into the act, knowing that if given the choice, he would not have a child. But he did not get that choice - the choice rests entirely on the woman and what she wants done.

Again, by your own logic - if you are the one who makes the decision, you should be prepared to accept the responsibility of that decision. If you know the father doesn't want anything to do with this child, you should not be expecting support from the father.

Let me put this another way - some states have laws that the father of a child must pay child support, even if all the father did was be a sperm donor. One case, for example, had a lesbian couple who wanted to conceive a child, but were obviously unable to. So, they enlisted the help of a sperm donor - whom they later sued for child support. Is this fair to the donor?

I guarantee that he would have second thoughts about having sex if that was said explicitly. A lie by omission is still a lie - if she knew he didn't want a child, it was dishonest of her to not inform him that she intended to carry any child to term.

A woman can choose to terminate and absolve both herself and the father of responsibility. This gets sticky with issues of bodily integrity and medical consent.

Regardless, you're suggesting that the father has the right to absolve himself ALONE from all responsibility and place it 100% on the mother.
Access to abortion does not afford this same right to women. They cannot place 100% of the burden on the father.

There is never a single unwanted pregnancy case where the father is 100% blameless. He made the decision to have inportected sex and he risked childbirth.

Why should the child (who is morally blameless) suffer to the benefit of the father, who took an unnecessary risk?

Yes. The mother has the ability to absolve herself of the responsibility if she chooses, the father does not. I am suggesting the father should be afforded the same rights as the mother already has.

>Access to abortion does not afford this same right to women. They cannot place 100% of the burden on the father.

The mother doesn't not have the right to force 100% of the responsibility onto the father.

It sounds like a the purpose here was to prevent unregulated sperm donation and unregulated adoption. I don't think that a parent should be able to contract out of obligations to a child.

This is the imbalance which we are getting at. Yes, you are right in that I am suggesting child support should be opt-in. If the man wants to interact with the child in any capacity, that would give an incentive for him to want to pay for the child's care. If the man wants to give up any claim to the child legal or otherwise and just walk away, he should have that ability, provided he stays away.

Congratulations, you've resorted to quoting the legal system. You are now technically correct - which, as we all know, is the best kind of correct.

And if this discussion was happening 100 years ago, a woman wouldn't have been allowed to participate in the discussion at all.

And if you smoke pot, you deserve to be arrested and incarcerated, you disgusting druggie.

The legal system is a set of rules put out by some guy somewhere. It is not infallible, and in many cases it is ethically and morally wrong. If you are resorting to saying "Well, this is the way it is because our laws say so," there's not much further to discuss.

So she made the choice not to have an abortion.

He made the choice to ejaculate inside her multiple times. Stop bitching about this.

>The legal system is a set of rules put out by some guy somewhere.
Do you understand how the judiciary works? Why do you think the laws are different now than they were 100 years ago?

The common law is constantly evolving as judges interpret reasoned arguments and encounter new scenarios. Seriously, go read an SCC or a SCOTUS decision. They eloquently set out the logic and principles behind any law that is applied or amended.

In this case, the logic isn't all that complicated
1. The child is blameless
2. The father is not blameless, as he took an unnecessary risk by having unprotected sex
3. Therefore, it does not make any sense to put the interests of the father ahead of the interests of the child

the women is equality irresponsible because women have more anti-birth control options then men. why didn't she use more options to avoid pregnancy?
>>
>>16644848
>the women is equality irresponsible
and she shares the responsibility for raising the child

You're suggesting that the father be able to dump 100% of the responsibility onto the mother. How is that equality?

We at least agree that what you refer to as "the child" here is a victim in these circumstances. But the father is also a victim in these circumstances. Your solution is that the child is innocent and thus all negative consequences should be placed on the father to spare the child.

Here's the thing though - when discussing abortion, it's not a child we're discussing. It's a ball of cells smaller than your fingernail - a tiny parasite, nothing more. Does that ball of cells have life? Sure. Does it have the ability to develop into a living, breathing, thinking person? Sure. Is it currently a person? Absolutely fucking not. If it was, abortion of any kind would be illegal. In fact, you can't get an abortion past a certain timeframe, once the fetus has reached a sufficient level of development.

So, when the mother is deciding whether or not to have an abortion, she is deciding whether to sacrifice the father's immediate well being for the sake of a potential child. Well, what if that father isn't ready now to have a child, and thanks to child support payments will never be? Consider instead, had the child been aborted, maybe the father would have been able to secure a much more stable position in his life, from which he is able to comfortably support a wife and child? What about a wife and two children? Would that circumstance not be preferable to forcing him to financially support part of one child, but otherwise be absent from his life, which might lead to resenting the child and in turn being resented by the child?

Point is, at the time of the decision to get an abortion or not, we are only dealing with possibilities. The child could be stillborn, freeing the father from an obligation he didn't otherwise want. Alternately, that one child might be taking the resources that the father had which could have otherwise been put towards a child who would be much better taken care of, or even multiple children.

and why should he give a shit? there are a shitload of people suffering in this world, why don't you give half of your wage to one of them, like one of those poor kids living in broken homes? or to that poor hobo that wants to get a job but hey he doesnt even have any fucking money to eat?is there any difference morally speaking other than the fact that there's the bias of your kid having your DNA? fight the fucking power OP, or else this world will never change. these fucking bitches have to realize they have to man up and stop being selfish and egocentric. if she doesn't want to get an abortion, fuck her. and everything that concerns her.
>>
>>16644955
These are all things that a mother ought to consider when thinking about an abortion. But this decision is not wholly separate from the decision not to have unprotected sex. Abortion is just another form of birth control that she is neglecting to take advantage of.

This decision does not absolve the father of his decision to forgo birth control and take an unnecessary risk. He contributed to the risk and he bears the responsibility for the consequences, even if he was not a party to the final decision.

In a perfect world a woman would not choose to bring a child to term against the father's wishes. But the world isn't perfect, and there needs to be a system in place to account for the well-being of the child.
>>
>>16644980
>and why should he give a shit?
he doesn't have to give a shit

If I get speed and hit somebody with my car, it doesn't matter if I don't give a shit about them. I took an unnecessary risk, and the legal system is there to ensure that I take responsibility for the consequences.

>fight the fucking power
How do you plan on doing this? You working towards a legal degree?
>>
>>16644986
You do realize your arguments are used by people who think abortions should be entirely illegal, right?

>they decided to have unprotected sex

>there needs to be a system in place to account for the well-being of the child

>therefore outlaw abortions
>>
>>16645008
The substance is different. Most countries hold bodily integrity at a different standard than financial integrity.
>>
>>16645008
>there needs to be a system in place to account for the well-being of the child
And you've got it backwards here. Abortion is a system put in place to account for the well-being of the child. No suffering where there is no child in the first place.

To apply the same logic to child support, you're stuck between two negative outcomes.

a) you give the father the ability to force the mother to undergo surgery, violating longheld principles of bodily integrity

b) you give the father the ability to absolve all of his obligations to the child, turning the child into the victim
>>
>>16645022
My point in
>>16644955
was that while we are talking about concrete financial integrity, we are talking about potential bodily integrity. A potential bodily integrity that, as my post went on to say, could threaten the potential bodily integrity of two or more beings.
And while the "substance" of the argument may be different, the logic is the same, which - as you claimed - is what the laws are based on after presenting such logic in well laid out documents handed down by the higher echelons of courts.
>>
>>16644986
And what about cases when the father does responsibly use birth control, and it fails? Especially given that the methods of contraception available to men are both vastly more limited than the ones available to women, and barring vasectomies, less effective?
>>
>>16645039
I think you're confused, anon

Bodily integrity in this case refers to the mother's ability to consent to surgery. It doesn't have anything to do with the fetus or the kids.

>could threaten the potential bodily integrity of two or more beings.
You're getting way too remote here.
>>
>>16645056
>And what about cases when the father does responsibly use birth control, and it fails?
That's a really shitty situation, but it doesn't mean the father is blameless. The only way for the father to be blameless is if he didn't fuck the woman in the first place. There is your 100% effective birth control, and its available to everybody.

The child should not bare the harm if the father is not moral blameless.
>>
>>16645062
>Bodily integrity in this case refers to the mother's ability to consent to surgery
Then you're missing my argument - that "bodily integrity" could refer to the well being of the fetus, and anyone making a general argument against any kind of abortion would make such a claim.

>could threaten the potential bodily integrity of two or more beings.
>You're getting way too remote here.

That is exactly my point. The bodily integrity of the fetus is all potential and a remote possibility, whereas the certainty of financial strain is concrete. A concrete strain should take precedence over a potential strain, and if you disagree with that, then refer to my previous example where your potential strain of one child would place an even greater potential strain on two children at a later time.

>the father is somehow to blame
>for the mother's sole decision to bring a child into the world

this is a joke right? let me guess

>she should have kept her legs together, shit wait i mean he should have kept it in his pants which is totally different
>>
>>16645079
>The bodily integrity of the fetus is all potential and a remote possibility
And when the mother does not consent to an abortion, it becomes a virtual certainty (barring complications)

Regardless, the father isn't paying child support until after the child is born. Concrete financial burden for the concrete wellbeing of a concrete child.

Given that 90% of the time, maybe more, that humans have sex, it's for recreation, with pregnancy being almost the furthest thing from their minds, I have a hard time accepting the "well, it was his fault for screwing around!" line. Especially so given that we've known of better birth control options for men -- almost 100% effective, apparently side-effect free, idiot-proof and cheap -- for several decades, and they still haven't hit the market because pharmaceutical companies have declined to fund them as they're not very lucrative. For one example, if you haven't heard of it, google for 'vasalgel.'

People are going to have sex for pleasure. That's a really deep and instinctive behavior. It's not going anywhere. I think it's morally problematic to expect people to act against instincts that are that strong. When safe methods exist for making practically inevitable behavior almost risk-free, and we as a society have completely failed to push for those methods to become available, I think the blame for such accidents falls upon all of us. Not just the men in question.

>>16643894
>My question is - can she still get me for child support?

Somebody on here last week in almost same situation as you said they were going to Florida to avoid child support. Said Florida has law that child support cannot be garnished from wages for out of state kid.
>>
>>16645162
Everything you say is perfectly valid. But I have a very hard time imagining any scenario in which you could justify shifting the harm from the parent onto the child.

>I think the blame for such accidents falls upon all of us
So what then, we fund child support through tax dollars?
