This is bullshit. I work with both single mothers and the men who are being sought for child support by the state. When a woman signs up for public assistance they ask the fathers name. If she knows who the baby daddy is the state goes after him for child support to use it to offset any assistance she is getting. we probably have 20 male clients being actively pursued for child support right now and about 5 or six women going for child support on thier own, because if you don't receive public assistance you don't get the states help in getting child support.
