I was listening to the Bill Carroll show on CFRB 1010 out of Toronto, and again, the discussion topic had to do with another father getting royally fucked over. I searched high and low for the news story, but I couldn’t find it as easily as the Saskatchewan case, possibly because this one occurred in Miami (I believe).

So anyway, what happens is the man and the woman get married. Woman gets pregnant. Woman gives birth. Everyone is happy for the beautiful baby. Then, the marriage falls apart, and a divorce hearing occurs. Moreover, the father is forced to pay child support payments.

Does something seem wrong here? No. Not yet. But just you wait.

The father who has been forced by the court to pay child support payments is not the child’s biological father. At some point during the divorce, it came to light that the wife cheated on her husband, and this child was the end result. A paternity test proved it. Despite all of this, the courts still made her husband - the victim of this act of infidelity - pay child support payments. Meanwhile, the biological father walks off without a dime taken from his pocket.

The entire hearing is just as ridiculous as the Saskatchewan case, and…it just boggles the mind what kind of bullshit is done to fathers in the legal system, but you never really hear about it until something really fucking stupid happens.

Binkle, when you are a big-time lawyer-man, I hope you start to balance out all of these bullshit feminist decisions that have intruded into the legal system, because this is just bogus.

Also, why haven’t any of my readers comment on this stuff? You are all men. You are all future fathers. How can you not have an opinion about this? And Binkle. You’re a future father, and a future lawyer. Where’s the jargon? I really want to see where you stand on this. Maybe you can shed some sort of light on it that - contorted though it may be - presents more of the legal side to both of these situations.

Someone comment though. Please. I feel these are the most important stories that I have ever brought up on this blog in the 3 years or so that it has existed, and I would feel awful if I couldn’t illicit some response from my readership.
