| Sep 26, 2022 at 16:45 | comment | added | ohwilleke | @NeilMeyer You asked if family courts are biased against men. They try to apply the law impartially. This has nothing to do with the content of the substantive law that they apply. Whether the substantive law is fair to men or to women is meaningless without a baseline of what is fair to compare it to. It is simply a matter of opinion. | |
| Sep 26, 2022 at 16:40 | comment | added | Neil Meyer | Wow so a woman can rape a man and then sue him for child support. You want to tell me how men are not treated unfairly by the family court system again. My question where I asked if men are treated unjustly currently has a score of minus 6. | |

| Apr 29, 2022 at 19:09 | comment | added | ohwilleke | @SebastiaanvandenBroek It really isn't possible to address that point adequately in a comment. If you are interested, it would be a legitimate separate question (ideally with some narrowing down to specific jurisdictions as this is a matter of state law and isn't uniform nationally even though there isn't a huge difference from state to state). | |

| Apr 29, 2022 at 5:27 | comment | added | Sebastiaan van den Broek | @ohwilleke are there any penalties for the woman if she claims not to know the father (after for example breaking off contact with him when finding out she’s pregnant) and putting the baby up for adoption? | |
| Apr 28, 2022 at 22:30 | comment | added | o0'. | @Obie2.0 well saying that "sex assume the risk of pregnancy" is an oversimplification, considering that abortion exists. | |
| Apr 28, 2022 at 17:06 | comment | added | ohwilleke | @FluidCode Adoption requires the consent of both parents if known. | |
| Apr 28, 2022 at 15:35 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | Obviously, here I am not talking about situations like the one in the question, where people consent to sex and thus assume the risk of pregnancy, but rather cases of rape or the odd bizzare case where someone takes the sperm from a condom and impregnates themself with it or something. | |
| Apr 28, 2022 at 15:28 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | It probably does not constitute sex discrimination, but it does seem a little odd that someone of any gender could be obligated to support children that they never played any intentional role in creating. Without that element, the only commonality is genetic, and people are not obligated to care for the children of their identical twins. There should be a government fund for this purpose. | |
| Apr 28, 2022 at 11:04 | comment | added | FluidCode | "It is also worth noting that women in every country of which I am aware have a duty to support the children to which they give birth, [...] So, the claim that this constitutes sex discrimination is ill-founded." No. Women who don't want to support a child to which they give birth can put them up for adoption. | |

Parents (regardless of gender) are required to participate in the psychological formation of the child. The custodian also cannot forbid visitation, except if conditions also warrant a restraining order. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_alienation#Brazil | |

| Apr 27, 2022 at 14:43 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | "only had a duty to support the children of his wife or the children of his deceased former wife if he was a widower" - what is only in opposition to here? | |
