That, in itself, is a crime....

I'm not saying don't get the child support you need. I'm saying make the man a part of that process. Let him weigh in on it... it's his child too. And if you don't, and force him to pay something he had no say in... well then he will most likely disown the child mentally. That's just the way it goes...

I'm serious. I think the guy's a dirt bag, but what was the momma thinking? I've seen it a lot, and it's common in the USA now.
For example a guy working for me had a son. The son was 19; the last I heard he was a 3 strike felon, and now sitting in prison...FOR LIFE.
However, this is not before he had knocked up 5 chicks. Each one knowing about the previous.
I did the dad a favor, and stopped by his son's abode after work one day. This was right before the last strike against the son; any ways' I walked into the house as well. There was one momma with her kid playing on the floor in a sea of cigerette butts, and empty beer bottles. The 'boy', that momma, and the newer pregnant one were all there doing 'illicit drugs'. I left immediately, but was in awe at the entire scene. It burnt into my mind.
The most incredible aspect about it was where the mindset of those women were? Why would they choose that?
Just like in this story why'd the momma have a baby with a dirtbag? I'd say she's partly responsible too.

It is generally the court who decides how much child support to award, not the ex, not the ex's lawyer. The court.
Let's say for the sake of argument that the father is given a "say" into how much support he should pay for his child. Chances are he already has a strained relationship with the ex, so more than likely he's going to do everything in his power not to pay her a dime more than is necessary.
It's the child that suffers from this kind of animosity between the parents. Hence the need for a neutral party, the court, to decide the amount that should be paid.
Generally, it is based on a formula that takes both parents income into account and determines what is fair compensation.
The father played an integral part in bringing the child into the world and he has the moral responsibility to help support that child.
That said, it takes a heck of a lot more than $1,000 to shelter, clothe and feed a child.
If, and that's a big "if", the father did kill his child to avoid paying child support or to strike back at the mother, then he is nothing short of a monster and needs to be removed from society.
