Can you adopt a kid if you aren't married? I didn't think so!Kildrought said:The facts reported are very limited to say the least; two of the children may not be biologically his but if he adopted them (as often happens) then he is responsible for their maintenance.
Kildrought said:Sunday Tribune report refers to "his ex-wife" which would, not unreasonably, lead one to suppose that they were married. Two of the children, although not biologically his could have been adopted and he is therefore responsible for their support.
bond-007 said:Or the wife simply named her husband as father on the birth certs without his consent and now he is being persued for his so called kids.
The Sunday Tribune reports that the man is earning €2k per month and has been jailed for not complying with a court order to pay €1,800 per month maintenance to his ex-wife for 3 children. He is not the biological father to 2 of the kids.
On the face of it, he has good reason to be aggrieved.
Women know that if a marriage breaks up they will not lose out financially and in many cases will gain. Therefore there is little incentive to keep marriages intact when they come into difficulty. There is probably more incentive for men to hold the marriage together as they end up being the big losers. The law will have to be rebalanced on this issue for everybodies sake.
This is a very one-dimensional look at marriage and presumes that women enter marriage with some sort of ulterior motive or plan for marriage breakup. The fallout of a breakup is more than monetory and there are no winners in the breakdown of a marriage.
