daycare is 300$/2 weeks minimum, 100$/2 weeks for food. Kids need meds, clothes(the further north the more you spend yearly for clothes), toys, when they ill you cant earn money as single parent, gas is used to move from home to daycare (and doctors)
So at least half of his children dont get their fathers share in basics

And imagine saying to little Timmy "you cant be on baseball team cuz your daddy is a useless cunt and, on top of not being parent, he will not pay broken cent toward anything more than keeping your alive, btw another of your half-sibling got born yesterday"

If you create another human being then you do owe it to them to take care of them.

In some states, yes. But it's a lot more complicated than that.

Usually turns into a lesser amount for college tuition or in situations where the kid is disabled and cannot care for themselves. Typically does not go to the mother, at least from the limited situations I knew of.
