My "evidence" is annoctodal from what I hear from guys at the gym, or from meat cutters.

I only have my own brother's experience.

My bro had two children with his wife. Wife cheated on him and got preggers by a red-headed guy. Baby comes, and our family is scratching their heads - no one in our family, or hers, has red hair.

Long story short, my bro has to pay child support because he no longer wanted to live with THAT woman. Court gives mother the kids.

I feel the court made a mistake because this mother is a bad example spreading her married legs and all - but that's my opinion.

My bro has to pay $750/mo per kid for a total of $1500.00 / mo. Again, because his wife cheated on him and got preggers.

The guy who got my bro's ex-wife preggers has to pay $500 / mo in child support.

I know for a fact that my bro's ex-wife did not work, and still does not work - mainly because she's married a wealthy guy.

Why that guy would marry her is beyond me - but he did.
