or only serves to make YOU feel better as you are holding them "accountable"?
Child support.....despite it's intention.....doesn't always benefit the child either.
This is just the price of being a parent.
If you make a kid, you're supposed to provide for them at least until they turn 18.
It's about taking responsibility for your actions.
If one party isn't living up to their end, then.....regardless of the motive.....you can't fault the other person for doing what they have to do to prevent them from shirking their responsibilities.
If either party, mother or father, didn't want that responsibility.....they should have each exercised the necessary precautions needed to avoid becoming a parent.
