I have a single mom in my life. She’s the best mom I know and one of the best people in general.

The father of the child is a worthless bum. She has had to fight him tooth and nail to do the bare minimum.

Fortunately she has a high paying career and is very successful.

These bums get away with it by making sure it’s so difficult to hold them accountable, you just stop trying.

Throw his arse in jail then.

Speak for yourself, i have never felt incentivized to have a child out of wedlock to raise on my own.

I need more than $150 a month in food stamps to feel incentivized to do something.

If you do that you better be ready for a dictatorship. EO don't and shouldn't have the authority to enact such things. That's what Congess is for.

I only care about the baby until it's born. The Bible says we need to care for the unborn, it's not my job or anyone else's to take care of a child after it comes out.

The only thing that matters is that the baby lives but after that it doesn't really matter. You people need to go reread your Bibles.

I don’t consider being put on a years long waiting list for section 8 housing an incentive either. I guess my standards are too high.

If you are a female with children already receiving benefits for housing, food stamps, child care, etc, many of those benefits are cut when adding a husband to the household. If fact, many are told the father/husband cannot live in the provided housing.

No one spoke to your situation or mine. I spoke to women in those situations. There is a large movement among black men speaking about these very things so you should probably educate yourself on the topic before you attempt a gotcha or attack on me.

The same law should apply to mothers as well.

This would be a great way to unburden taxpayers.

And hold the MOTHER to the same standard. Personally, throughout my anecdotal life experiences, I've come across far more deadbeat moms that deadbeat dads.

"Lots of dead beats": Former NBA Seattle Sonics superstar & a millionaire many times over, Shawn Kemp, had 23 kids by 23 mothers. He, at last count, was sued 30+ times for failure to pay court ordered child support. One of the biggest multi sports, sports agents said that the first of the mth is the worst time of the month for him as that is when his office has to send out all his clients' child support checks.

There are already laws and regulations. People get liens on their pay, income tax refunds. We don't want a Jerry Springer Show made into orders.

HUD needs revamped. HUD can promote family and trade schools/college's within the housing authority.

Enabling a soul (black, white, brown) to sit in their home all day and watch Judge Judy on large screen TVs... Drinking cheap beer and getting stoned as their 4 year old child runs around the yard with guns. Using high end vehicles to buy iphones, ipads. IS NOT HEALTHY.

I will say though, she like many women, put up with some stuff that I think is unacceptable. If you ask her why, is was to help him. He needed her. Classic manipulation of a good heart

So, unless they got married and now divorced, it's still her fault for letting him knock her up.

Having a good heart doesn't mean you slut yourself out without protecting yourself from getting knocked up for "single mom" points.

I believe the mom and dad both must share the financial burden of care for the child. The entire care cost will be set at the rate that is equivalent to twice the after tax income of the poorest parent which, when split, is an equal amount paid to the state by both parties. The state then disperses the funds to the custodial parent.

The government may not charge any type of cost whatsoever for any action related to child support collection thereof.

Let's see how quickly all parties become responsible regarding the children and pregnancy.

Let the states take care of this. The federal government is already doing enough via withholding tax refunds, gambling winnings, etc.
