I didn’t even propose a system. You just presented a strawman and claimed it was impossible to even discuss. Also, your spiel about the obligation being to bob jr is 100% bullshit. The mother can choose to give the baby up for adoption and voila, she magically has no more financial responsibility. Funny that. A court system that forces someone to financially support another single parent they wanted nothing to do with from the outset is broken. The revenue to help a single parent with raising a child (if that is our intent and it’s not some just fallacy bullshit of making the missing parent “pay”) should not vary with that parent’s income. There needs to be consent from both sides before birth that they want responsibility for the kid. If they don’t, they lose custody rights and obligations. If neither do, baby goes up for adoption. If it’s only one, the government can provide assistance for low income single parents.
