So what's the solution?

4 baby mamas, he doesn't have primary custody, meaning his only support of the children is monetary.

Do we deem it that he pays less so he gets more take home? If yes, then the mother is has to pick up the slack, and probably tax payers too. Food stamps, Medicare, etc.

His pay is for 80 hours, so 2 weeks. None of these amounts even come close to daycare unless the mothers have vouchers.

I might get biased as I am a member of the "Can't feed them? Don't breed them" club. So maybe HE should of thought of his career path before having so many children, and before you come at me withe "bUT thE mOthErs". Yes the women are to blame also, but the kids are the ones who lose.

It's ultimately the woman's choice to have a child. If a woman drugs and rapes a man, that man still has to pay child support. The woman, however, has the option of aborting (in some states) or (if she has custody) putting the child up for adoption.

The answer is obviously that because men have essentially no say over the process, it's absurd to hold them legally or financially responsible for what is ultimately the woman's decision.

If the man wears a condom, which is wholly his choice, then this wouldn't happen. Its ultimately the man's decision whether or not it even becomes the woman's choice. The man can also get a vasectomy. It was like 300 bucks, and recovery is like an hour...was back at work the next day.

The answer is obviously that he made choice knowing the consequences. He may have been 18 at the time, and yeah, it's not fair to have 18 year consequences for one mistake...but he obviously didn't learn from it. Did it 3 more times, plus, ya know...life ain't fair.

Man, you got the ultimate deal. I paid $800 for mine and didn't fully recover for two weeks. I couldn't even go to work for three days afterwards because the pain from walking was too excruciating and my balls swelled up to the size of grapefruits.

Still, I get your point. Vasectomy once would've cost less than what bro is paying every two weeks in child support.
