We wish for men to be allowed to relinquish themselves of all responsibility arising from imposed paternity.
At this time, men are deemed responsible for the financial contribution of a child regardless of whether or not they consented to the child been conceived. Having experienced, first hand, the impact that forced fatherhood/imposed paternity has on men across the nation, I think something needs to change. If a woman lies about her inability to conceive a child to become pregnant, the father has no legal rights but to pay support even if they have proof that the mother has lied.
