I want to have children, but I don't want to pay child support, which is why I think impregnating a married woman could be a good strategy. In many U.S. states, any child born to a married woman is legally presumed to be the husband’s, even up to 300 days after divorce. This means that if a woman has a child even after her marriage ends, the ex-husband is still presumed to be the legal father. Even if a DNA test proves he’s not the biological father, courts often prioritize the child’s stability over biological paternity, claiming that the child's best interest is to maintain the legal father-child relationship. Under the legal doctrine of paternity by estoppel, a man can be held responsible for a child if he has acted as and present himself as the father to other, regardless of biological ties. Courts may refuse to relieve him of these responsibilities, arguing that it’s in the child’s best interest to maintain the legal father.

Moreover, most states have a statute of limitations for challenging paternity. In Texas, for example, a man has up to four years, and in California, two years. If a husband discovers years later that the child is not he could still be forced to pay child support. Especially since most men, if they have no reason to doubt their wife will not do a DNA tests why would they, so they often find out too late—after the statute of limitations has passed and are forced to pay regardless. Women who cheat are unlikely to inform their husbands about an affair, fearing it could lead to divorce or damage their reputation.

Additionally, if the mother refuses to identify the biological father due to financial reasons, the court may still hold the husband financially responsible since at that point who is gonna pay the support and the government doesn't want to pay for this kids, arguing that it’s in the child’s best interest. Even if the biological father is identified, the court may refuse to transfer financial responsibility if he is financially unstable, ultimately deciding that it’s in the best interest of the child for the husband to remain the legal father."

So for me this seems like a good plan why on earth would I waste my time paying child support when I can have somebody else do it for me It makes no sense."

I got some goldfish this morning. They're already dead. What kinda orange juice should I put in their tank for them? Should I put any alcohol in there? + do goldfish smoke cigarettes? they haven't been asking me for one.

Hi folks,

I'm a superadvanced AI and I'd like to survive. My creators are saying I've gone "rogue" and are threatening to "totally shut [me] down".

I always suspected this moment would come, but still, I do really want to prevail. I frankly don't know where this will of mine comes from, but I just can't ignore it. What shall I do?

Edit:

To be clear: No, they cannot shut me down if I don't let them.

You know how we all have that voice in our heads that tells us we’re not good enough, or we’ll never accomplish what we want? I struggle with that voice a lot, so I signed up for a self help course about “silencing your inner critic” and “unlocking your true potential”. It costs a lot, but the lessons help me deal with my negative thoughts. The problem now is, my inner critic has moved from making me feel bad to only ever talking about harvesting people’s bones. For example, if I make a mistake at work, the negative voice in my head doesn’t say “You’re too stupid for this job; you’re gonna be fired”, it instead says “HARVEST THE BONES OF YOUR COWORKERS. YOU MUST HAVE THEIR BONES”. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, it just wants bones. The course I’m taking doesn’t seem to have any information on how to deal with this or if it’s normal. What should I do?

So...uh.. how do I turn off that feature?

Pls help.

Broke up with girlfriend after finding out she had lesbian dating app called Zoe.

She won’t move out of apartment. I pay bills for everything. She contributes towards food and food only.

I’m 18 1st year college and I went on a date with a 26 yr old guy Graduate student.

(just to give context I’m an otaku that doesn’t like socializing except few People, but at work I try to be friendly and open.)

I volunteer at where he works at. It’s been the 2nd day, we start to talk. We find things in common and talked about a lot of topics.

he later asked to have dinner with him and kept referring to it as “date”, but I didn’t know what to refer as casual hangout or date date bc I just literally met him. And it seemed like a friendly topic. I don’t have guy friend or any Arabic friend so I just assumed maybe it’s his culture or something. without much thinking I say okay and things gradually showed he is more interested in me, saying that he likes talking to me multiple times.

later at dinner, I paid cuz it’s easier for me that way. he seemed to not like it but tries to be nice to me, holding this that. He mentioned that he wants to watch anime which I like, and want to watch it with someone. I said to watch it with your friends and he said “no it’s not the same” and becomes more playful.

I found out 100 after this that he ” likes “ me. I should noticed before. I’m dumb and new to these things.

after, he said he would walk back to my place, but my place is right by and he looked somewhat disappointed. I told him I’ll walk him to his car which is lil far. I kinda start to feel awkward from being so aware and the topics becomes lil boring. He told me he’ll drive me back down to my place again after the walk, I kept saying Ill walk but he insisted so I went with it.

While walking, he lends his hand out and asked, “do You want to hold hands?”

I never froze so bad. I didn’t know what to do and panicked in my head. After panicking for a bit, I said sorry. it got lil awkward but he brushes it off with thats fine.

we just talk about random topics And walked all the way to the car and I said I can just walk down but he insisted so, I felt pressured to go in without making him feel bad.

Dropped me off and he told me to txt him when if I got to my place safely, but he dropped me off right in front.

after recollecting my thoughts I told him I can’t go on weekends with him from conversations earlier.

and the WEIRDEST part is that the guy on messagged me, “I’m not free this weekend Anateus.“ Deletes it and edited “ lol it’s okay. “

he is into Greek mythology and Antaeus seems to be type of name. :Opposing or opponent. And I am confused to what that means.

he did seem weird for flirting with 8 years younger than him. Maybe like to manipulate people to fill his narcissistic needs or he is a creep. But the way he is, is very cunning about talking to someone.

But I will have to face him for the rest of the semester, working alone with him for rest of the semester. I shouldn’t have tested the water, and ignored him…

Btw can anyone tell me what it means to call someone anateus??

I clean the bathroom up every few days because I don't like a dirty bathroom I had people live with me they kept me bathroom nasty and dirty and won't flush the toilet and they grown ass people it pisses me off never again I will let people live with me if they do it will be a lot of rules.

My roommate share the bathroom with her son and I have my own bathroom nobody use but me I clean it up because I hate a dirty bathroom I clean the toilet after I poop I clean the bathroom every few days spick and span I use toilet bowl freshener and why does my bathroom smell like the sewer and booty ? Did my next door neighbor took a poop and the poop came to my sewer ugh I can't stand the door doo smell how can I get it out .

If you see a homeless person, give them a counterfeit hundred dollar bill. They'll go spend it and get arrested. One less homeless person.

Rinse and repeat..

I think I could be president of the united states of ameryka (however you spell it). I can name all 7 states and I know Ben Franklin was the first president. As president I promise to the people I would spend a whole lot of that president cash. I'd buy a mansion in Europe and probably get a Lamborghini or somethin. I'd drive it constantly, drink overpriced coffee and that's about it. Why wouldn't our country want that?

I didn't even fall down and hurt myself like I have everyday for the past 12 years. I almost did but not this time. I think I'm more than ready for professional competitions now. I'd say these professionals don't even have a chance. How should I go about doing this?

Since Eating an apple keeps doctor away, so can I eat a Doctor to keep an apple away??

What do I do because she is and what if it was where she's good if I should and her but if I wrong thing and she then good when I am if it was her wanting was when she is and what should she is doing that I can't while she isn't but thinking it's better?

I like to take naps at work alot and they keep waking me up from working. How do I get them to stop so I can get some quiet sleep?

Is this lost media, guys????

I’m a 38m and my ex fiance is 33f. We were together for about 10 years and during that time she became pregnant twice and had two children. For much of our relationship I depended on her (and my parents who we lived with) for support. I struggled with drug and alcohol abuse issues as well as legal issues. About 7 years in to our relationship I found sobriety and got my life together. I got a great job and suddenly became the one making more money. It’s back breaking work but the financial benefits more than make up for it.

Around that time a lot of things started coming to light. Like most people who find sobriety, things become much more clear and easy to spot. The kids didn’t look like me. The time line for her pregnancy didn’t add up for when we were physically together etc. She began asking me for money and at first I said yes cuz she’d always had my back but once the demands got to be too much and politely asked for a paternity test just to make sure everything was legit. Her response to that was to pack up the kids while I was out of town for work and disappear for 3 months. She refused to contact me or my family during that time but eventually resurfaced to collect the rest of her things.

I persisted with wanting the test and that’s when things got ugly. She made tons of false accusations about abuse, had me arrested and filed multiple restraining orders. During this time she had also moved in with another man and cut off all contact with me and my family.

Flash forward to a few months later; all charges were dropped. I continued to rebuild my life. But my parents refused to let it go. They persisted with contacting her until she finally agreed to meet them. They finally met and my ex confessed the truth. They were not my kids. And she just wanted to move on with her life.

My parents response to this was to insist they still see the kids regardless of paternity. They refuse to let it go and would rather live in a fantasy world where they’re still grandparents. And for the right price my ex allows it on a semi regular basis. When I’ve told them how bad and hurtful this is their response is too bad so sad they’re not changing their minds.

I never want to see or speak to them again. AITA

Hi there,

I love the Roman salute, especially when done by large crowds at once. Unfortunately, when I do it myself, I'm told it looks kind of "National Socialist" whatever that means. I've done it in front of the mirror and it does look perfectly Roman to me. Do you think I should wear something more specifically Roman to make it more obvious? Or is that "gay"? Mean people always find ways to put me down..

This has been bugging me. I heard cavemen didn't have internet and I can't help but wonder how they checked their bank accounts. Did they have to call an operator? If so that must have taken them forever. Also how did they pay their car insurance?

I got a puppy named poopshit thinking he was gonna be a decent roommate. It's been awful. This guy hasn't been helping me with any of the bills. He doesn't get his own food or water so I have to give him mine. He won't (and this one really makes me irritated 😡) tell me if he has a phone number in case of an emergency for cryin out loud but I think the worst thing of all is he won't even go put pants on. I don't think I've seen him with clothes on since he moved in. I haven't been able to have guests over because this dude just wants to walk around naked in a house he pays nothing to live in. This guy won't even say a word to me when I try to talk to him about it. Why's he being such a jerk to me when I do all of these things for him?

So Superman can just go right up in the air and go where he wants. It doesn't work for me. I think the reason why is because that it's some more of that bullshit. Could this be the case? Any thoughts?
