So if the state gives any assistance to the mom , will the state go after the dad for reimbursement payments with interest added on ? Will the state prove paternity of the kid ?

i dont know how to feel about this

i grew up with a single mom because my dad left when i was 2 weeks old. he bullshytted the child support checks a lot and we went without a lot.

but there are many sides to the story. my moms claims he bounced for no reason other than boredom... my pops tells me my mom had a drug/alcohol problem at the time and he didnt feel comfortable there. from the little bits i remember at the age, i side with my pops.

the money he sent to us never went to me. but on the other hand... child support laws are used to lock up people in poverty. as in genuine poverty. a guy refusing to pay his child support bill is different than a guy who really cant afford it.

i dont think people should be imprisoned behind financial problems. its wrong. if dad is in jail, he cant make any money to pay it off. it feels more like a trap for lower class people if you ask me.

I'm sure there will be a lot of prenatal paternity testing right? Nobody should be on the hook if they're not actually the father.

This shouldn't be a problem if you have self control and choose wisely. That chick working behind the counter looks nice, but best avoid her.

Or buy the condoms behind the chick before you smash

I would suggest the next law should be all children in Texas will be given a DNA test to determine paternity at birth. Then the retroactive child support law will make sense, well atleast to me.
