For couples that aren’t in a relationship and they’re having a baby, why won’t the ‘father pay child support?

Just curious.

My question was for the people that insist an unborn baby is a life yet. So why doesn’t the father pay child support then

I’m confused with the question here. If a couple isn’t together, but having a baby, the woman will have to go to court with her baby father to determine how much he will pay in child support. If a woman doesn’t do this, it may be because she feels like he provides enough to not have to get legal court systems involved with whatever that couple is doing

And women are better off going to court in situations like this because a guy can run off at any time and provide nothing if there’s no system in hand. Very important that things are documented.

That's a broad question. You want a specific answer to an unspecific situation. But I'll go with the most likely situation based on what we know of women.

Too many women today chase feelings and not good solid relationships. As a result, she gets caught up in the moment, gives it up to a guy who'd make a terrible father and then wonders why he doesn't handle his responsibilities.

Takes two to Tango, and there’s a baby involved - so punish the mom? Cool.

You didn't listen to a word I said. Good to know. Now you know why she's in this situation. She ignores all but what she wants. Unfortunately the child is going to pay the price of her foolishness as well. 🤦‍♂️

I wouldn't assume he isn't. Maybe he can't, though.

Maybe they don’t want the kids, they think the child is not his responsibility or even broke.

Maybe he can't. Maybe he doesn't like the fact that the mother doesn't have to prove his money is going to the kid.
