Contractual freedom to agree about child support rights
Many women want to have a baby, but, for some reason, don’t find the appropriate man or husband. A man willing to the father and take on fatherly duties. The typical solution is to “forget” to take the pill or just let the man falsely assume she is taking birth control.
1) Women should have right to renounce rights to father’s child support
We propose that
a) A woman should be empowered to contractually agree with a man to have his baby and not demand any child support.
Advantages:
- In most developed countries, more babies are urgently needed. This probably will lead to higher birth rates. The richer, more educated, more capacitated women will have children of their choice, that are wanted.
- No manipulation needed, no dishonesty about accidentally “forgotten birth control” to get pregnant against the man’s expressed wish
- female empowerment: the woman can have her wish, pick the father of her choice and have a baby.
- Most men would feel honored to be chosen as a father, without being obliged to support the baby nor having to get along with the woman for the next 20 years.
- many men would, voluntarily, by mutual agreement give some aid and support in child raising, in spite of the waiver.
- the most irresponsible and uncontrolled, least intelligent and poorest men have the most offspring
- these people are the most unfit genetically (their offspring will be less intelligent and have less self control)
- these people are also most unfit as parents and educators: they are less responsible, less intelligent
- these people are less unfit financially to provide a good home
- society pays for these offspring, with welfare that often encourages the poor to have more offspring to receive more money. These children are not welcome and loved, they are either accidents or planned to increase welfare income. A bad and traumatic start of a life for a baby.
- The well-to-do fear child support payments. Poor deadbeats that are unable to pay, and anonymous one night stances can get unlimited offspring without legal and financial responsibility
b) A man should be allowed to contractually assume all child care and support obligations after birth
Equally, a man can agree to take a child, after birth, assuming all child care and support.
This might convince a woman to forego abortion, or to become pregnant.
This ultimately empowers women, because it still is fully her choice to decide to terminate a pregnancy. She might find it attractive to have a baby without obligations.
Or she might do it as favor for the man, almost like a surrogate pregnancy.
All this would help to increase birth rate and reduce the population shortage problem in developed countries.
Who will pay for children’s needs?
If one party was relieved of his/her obligation, the other party.
- The party that took up the contractual obligation, mostly the mother. After all are women not empowered and independent? Don’t women have professions, salary, self sufficiency. Women did this for centuries and millennia, before the advent of liberated professional women and welfare.
- Welfare support. Government already pays support for children of deadbeat dads and moms in poverty. Why can’t they pay for the honest working tax paying father? Whoever took up the responsibility should pay him/herself, unless they are below poverty level.

Contractual freedom to agree about child support rights (further analysis)
Allow to legally renounce child support rights |
Actual state of affairs
|
More babies are urgently neededIn most developed countries, more babies are needed to stop population shrinkage, to take care of aging population. |
Well-off, capacitated, dedicated potential mothers can not get children they desire. |
Planned and desired childrenThe richer, more educated, more capacitated women will have children of their choice, that are wanted. |
Being a baby by accident, a bad start in life. |
No need to “forget” the pillIf a woman urgently wants a child and finds no man willing to be the father, she does not need to deceive a man into impregnating her by making him believe she is on birth control. |
|
Better Genes for childrenWomen who plan children, get pregnant intentionally, have, on average, more self control, intelligence and other sociably desirable features Let women pick the best father with the best genes! This is what females have done for hundreds of millions of years (yes, before humans). Research shows that attached women during their fertile phase are more seductive, earn more money if they are strippers, have more extra-marital sex then during other periods. All to shop for better genes. (check Robin Baker’s “Sperm Competition“). Cuckolding is an evolutionary design feature . |
Two people, both of which cannot control their urges and don’t have brains enough to do birth control correctly are probably not the best genetic inheritance for a common baby.
It is taboo to mention eugenics. But nowadays, we have a negative selection: the lower classes, less educated, the less intelligent, get more offspring, mainly due to incapacity to correctly use birth control or to abstain when necessary. |
Female empowerment, best genes
|
|
Better environment for childrenBeing a desired child by a capacitated mother creates a good environment. Better then offspring from accidental unwanted pregnancies. Of course, a true harmonious family with father and mother is always better. |
|
AbortionOn the one hand, there might be less abortions, because men would not pressure so much for abortion. If the woman desires to have the baby, let her have it and take responsibility for the baby. It is fully the woman’s choice, she is empowered. And the man is not the helpless victim of her choice, having his finances depend on her good will. On the other hand the woman may be more worried about being able to support the baby and have more abortions. |
Women might have less abortions if they know that the father is obliged to pay. See “Gender Equality” below |
Financial Child Support“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” is a famous feminist saying. So, empowered women can show their independence and support their own children Bad KarmaIn India one would say that it is bad Karma for a baby to be supported by a father whose money is taken against his will. We are talking about fathers who opposed fatherhood from the beginning, not those who committed and later want to get out of their voluntarily assumed obligation. |
Financial child support, at the price of forcibly taking money away from menForcing an unwilling father to pay for decades creates at huge suffering for the father and his other family, if he has one or will start one. |
Gender Equality (by advance agreement)Women already can opt out of motherly obligations, by being able to choose abortion (or even better, secure and safer birth control then men have at their disposal.) According to our proposal men (or women) can opt out the same way by agreement before sex. |
Men have no choice, only obligation to pay. |
Even in married families, if the husband wants no more children, the wife can get more children if she assumes the entire financial responsibility. Of course, that will be complex if there are children the husband is obliged to support and others he is not obliged to support. But, if she has financial independence, it can be done. |
