Hey
I am posting here as I do want men's opinions as well as womens...
I recently had this conversation with two of my male friends and I found it really interesting and wondering what the consensus is on this.
Should a man who has fathered a child always be held financially responsible for their children? For an example two consenting adults have a one night stand, woman finds out she is pregnant and goes ahead with the pregnancy, the father did not, should he be liable to pay for his child?
The case that sparked our conversation was in a nutshell, married couple can't have children, find a surrogate, during the term of surrogates pregnancy she decides to keep the baby (which she is legally aloud to do) once this child was born she denies all access but claims for child support which the biological father has to pay, however as he is not on the birth certificate and fails to get access...
What do you all think?

Is it ever ok for a Father to not pay child support?
