[font='Book Antiqua']about 7 yrs ago my husband adopted my son (@ the time he was 6 years old) via a step-parent adoption. The biological father rights were voluntarily terminated & he signed off and no longer paid child support which was his main motivation. At the time I was fine with it as I was thinking of the best interest of the child & $$ was not a priority and still isnt...it also was not a good situation for a child҅but, I want to find out how many people would be interested in passing a law that would require a biological father to be financially liable for not taking responsibility for their actions...Why should their entire responsibility be relinquished? Everyone is held liable for their actions...Why aren't they? I think that there should be a stipulation that the Biological parent pay into a "trust" in the childs name not equal to the amount of child support, but an amount that can increase over time. This "trust" would not be directly managed by the parents, but there would be a court order, so that it would affect the biological parents credit, etc., if they were avoiding it...and a reminder for them...not so easy...[/font]
