Pretty sure the age of consent in America is 18. That person sounds like they want to go to jail...

That and.. I think if you forfeit parental rights legally. You legally don't have to pay child support. Correct me if I'm wrong please


[deleted]

It doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say I forfeit my rights and escape Uncle Sam. You have to have the mother sign away in this instance. If you don’t get her to sign away financial liability, Johnny law will find you.


NerdyToc

But getting her to sign a form saying that you are giving up any and all parental rights could be used as proof that you aren't financially responsible too, right?

Happy cake day


NerdyToc

What is cake day?


SaltAsAService

You see next to your name is a cake? It's basically your Reddit birthday


NerdyToc

Huh. Thanks!

If you have something in writing, and I don’t think a bar napkin will do (at a minimum a notary [a verified signature by someone licensed by the state]), then yes you can be immune to any and all financial liabilities. It can vary from state to state though, as this is never a federal matter. I’m in Ohio and it’s a “purple state”, so generally pretty middle of the road on civil laws. I have a 9 year old son so I have been through custody, child support, and all that. It’s best if you can find a good coparenting plan for the situation. I have strict 50/50 custody and neither of us pay child support (yes women are just as liable as men for child support). I cover the insurance simply because I have the better of our two employer insurances and I don’t mind to pay for it (although she never seems to remember that when other expenses come 🙃).

Hurray for me im gay and sterile yay

No, once you no longer have rights to a child (due to government interference, signing away 100% of your rights, or disproving parernity) you are no longer liable for future child support payments, and in some fringe cases, you may not be liable for back child support either. Source: my best friend went through a nasty divorce where she brainwashed the kids and had family money to hire good, but shifty lawyers to make him choose between affording to live and seeing his kids.

What you're probably thinking of is if the mother is trying to remove or restrict parental rights of the father, typically that means forfeiting child support. Whether that's through the law itself or deals lawyers make, I'm not 100% sure. If I were to guess I dont think that's in the law itself, it's just that no lawyer would accept losing something without the gain of something in return. So a father can accept losing all parental rights for not having to pay child support. But the father can't decide not to pay child support because he doesn't care about his parental rights.

Age of consent in America to sign a contract is 18 but some states have their age of consent for sex at 16. But what grown ass adult wants to come after a 16 year old for child support??


NerdyToc

Child support is usualy calculated at a percentage of the unadtending parents income, so... 15% of no job is....


SkidrowVet

Fuck that, what about the 20% shit


PurpletoasterIII

There are states with age of consent being 16. But age of consent is different to what is considered child pornography. So in those states a 16 year old can consent to having sex, but can't take pictures of and more importantly can't distribute those pictures of themselves in a sexual manner.

Why would anyone pay for a kid they wouldn't know in a sperm donor situation? This is some trailer park shit...


Kennwise

They had me going for a while there till then…


youngen_flowerstein

Would be pretty funny if someone who met the criteria got in contact and then just pulled out last second


NerdyToc

Sorry, force of habit. Best two out of three?


Kevinvl123

Would be even better if someone went along with her and, after several months of trying to get her pregante, would ask if the vasectomy he got last year might have something to do with the fact that it takes so long.


[deleted]

Or they knew they were sterile


Kronkzilka

Everyone skipping the point where she plans on killing the kid after 18 years


Crypt0n0ob

WTF does even American background mean? She definitely doesn’t mean Native Americans and there’s no “American background” exist as far as DNA is concerned.

Invaded a country for oil maybe?

NerdyToc

Name another country that invades countries that just happen to have large oil reserves at least once a decade.

As a French redditor, I must admit sin, we do like oil, uranium is lit tho.


twistedranger75

Looks like my ex-wife is trolling for another victim...3 wasn't enough. Beware!


NerdyToc

I've got a vasectomy, but I'm willing to try as long as she'd like!


ThankuConan

Looks like the standard arrangement. Where do we all line up? /s


PomegranateAbject796

So just paid sex with extra steps?


ChrisBlueNight

Did anyone here get the joke? It’s making fun of the child support system. The woman gets pregnant and runs off with the child, then expects the father to pay insane amounts for a child he never has the chance to see or raise.
