- Unwarrented conlusion, yes. There are no facts or studies done that I
- know of that have looked into the real problem of visitation because
- the state has no compelling interest whether NCPs (Men) have visitation
- or not. The do not recognise NCPs (fathers) visitation or link NCP
- involvement in their children's lives as significant. According to
- several studies used by the Mn Supreme Court, NCPs should pay up but
- drop out. The 'studies' in my opinion, are nothing more than bullshit.
- It secures an urban myth that men are abusers (that's why they are divorced)
- and preserves a system that transfers great amounts of cash from
- NCPs (men by a great majority) to CPs (women by majority). The States
- only concern is for them to REDUCE single parent expenditures. Visitation
- has nothing to do with welfare, AFDC or child-care.
- I'm pretty well acquainted with what I'm talking about.

- What's worse, they rarely prosecute and the prosecuter does not see it

- How many don't pay and why? A man who fathered a child and lived with
- his offspring at one time or another should pay child support.

- I'm missin something here. Current child support law makes NCPs angry
- and frustrated. Reducing the guidelines for NCPs and requiring child
- support accountability would go along way to reduce anger.

-
- A lot of women use the gender bias they hold in family court as a means
- to inflict hurt, anger and pain. A lot of women remarry. An infinitesimal
- number of women remarry men who have no income. A high majority of
- teenage mothers are living on welfare, AFCD and part time jobs. A high
- percentage of teenage mothers have no income at all. Sixty percent
- of black children are born out of wed-lock. Unemployment for black teen
- agers and young men is 70+% in Milwaukee, Wi.
