Unintended Consequences, Karma is a ….Fallin
The problem with political correct thought and laws are the unintended consequences. Human societies have generally had marriage and common sense laws for that very reason; things are the way they are because the work and messing with nature can create more problems that they thought they solved.
This funny, to me anyways, post on Reddit.com was a great example. First I had to look up what the hell "cis gender" was and apparently it is when (big surprise) people identify with the sex that they were born with. Now, on with the story in as an offensive manner as possible.
So a couple of carpet munchers tied the knot, one cheated on the other one, got knocked up, and now the other bull dyke might be on the hook for child support. No, she wasn't the "father" but in many states a married woman that gets pregnant is legally the responsibility of the husband whether it is his kid or not. Not saying it is right, but the state first considers the interests of the child to be and the interest of the state not having to spend money taking care of said child.
And yeah, this sounds perfectly rational. If the gays and lesbians want to be married they carry the bad with the good. Now they are both subject to domestic violence and child support like the men in society and isn't the entire point of being a bull dyke to be man like? What better way than to get screwed over like the men in society get screwed over.
Below is the story. Enjoy:
This sounds ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
I'll start off by saying I'm a cis gender female. My ex is also a cis gender female. We separated about two months ago. State law says we can't even begin file for divorce until next July. She texted me today to tell me that she's 6 weeks pregnant. She's due in like June. We will still be married when her baby arrives.
I know from a friend's past experience that the mother's spouse's name automatically goes on the birth certificate here, whether he's actually the father or not, as long as they're still married on paper. My friend had to go through a paternity test to prove the baby wasn't his, and his lawyer said if the baby's real dad didn't step up that he might still be on the hook for child support. Because apparently the state doesn't care who the baby's actual dad is, as long as there's a second party to financially look after the kid. Luckily, in my buddy's case, the baby's father went through the process to be recognized as the real dad so my friend could be removed from the birth certificate. My ex says she doesn't know who the dad is. So basically, I think I'm screwed.
There is no way in hell this child is mine, but I can't divorce my ex in time to avoid it defaulting to me.. I'm meeting with my lawyer on Tuesday but like, really, this can't happen right? I feel like common sense says it isn't my baby so I shouldn't be responsible but the laws (as I know them) say otherwise. I guess the advice I want is what to realistically expect? Are there other cases like this? Or am I boned and doomed to play mommy #2 to a kid that isn't mine?
