I think it's a great idea, some of you poor men have been taken for fools.

Along the lines of the judge making the non-father continue paying, here's what happened to me:

I put my daughters fathers name on birth certificate, he signed paperwork that she was his and then we filed for court ordered child support when she was about 8 months old. The courts in California finally saw the case and approved it when she was FIVE. I figured cool, I get five years of back child support. Nope. The order was in effect for the date of the court hearing and beyond, not the past. He got out of five years of child support because the family courts in LA area were too booked/overcrowded and I didn't have a lawyer.

Sucked then. Now I get court ordered for another 3 years, but what I get each month is just enough to cover her braces monthly payment.
