Maybe a test to prove men are the father should be first step before ordering men to pay child support?
Time and again we hear someone who has paid tens of thousands is not the father,we could swap small country town jokes about the confusion fathers day brings them but if we truly want equality in all things why not give men some protection in an area they currently have few?
Currently men have buckley's chance of being repaid and not much more some times of even being able to spend time with the kids that are his.

There have been a number of cases where by DNA checks males were not the father but the courts made them pay child support anyway.
Something wrong with something.

yeah unfortunately women can be just as deceitful as men especially when it comes to prostituting themselves and money. Problem is the feminised court system does not reconize that simple fact.

Hey. Blokes who put it about and don't know which children are theirs and which are not are immoral scrotes. Let them worry about it.

My reason for this is men always have the odds stacked against them in the area of child custody,and much more often in this area, a poster has already said some men known not to be the father still suffer,this week a man who had paid for ten years, been threatened time and again by welfare people, proved he was not the father, not good enough! the mother,who had pressed these charges time and again said *it was a mistake*! I am on Social security and can not afford to pay it back! what is wrong with our whole family court system? surely in this and every area justice must be blind not subject to giving one sex a better outcome than the other?

There should be mandatory DNA tests done with every single birth in Australia. This should be the norm and paternity should be established at the time of birth.

Of course, this will never be allowed, because far too many women have sex outside the marriage/relationship and our feminist run society with all the white knights protecting them, won't allow it. Knowing the fact that women have full control over sex, it is a nonsense to suggest that men are the ones screwing around and women are being raped or forced into it.

It's time we stop this idiotic protecting of women who misbehave and play up. If they are screwing around, then their husband/partner has a right to know, especially if there is a child involved. Once he finds out the child is not his, then he has the opportunity to decide whether to support that child or not and whether he will stay with the adulterer he is living with.

People who play around on their spouses/partners are pretty immoral and are a blight on families, mostly children. The problem is, we have only ever pointed the finger at men who do this. It's time to point the finger at women!
