In reply to the discussion: Man who fathered 30 kids says he needs a break—on child support [View all]cynatnite
(31,011 posts)41. The moms are raising these kids more than likely...
So, I would say they are taking responsibility. Of course both he and the women could have used a little thing called contraceptives to avoid the side-effect of pregnancy.
So, neither didn't. A pregnancy resulted. Mothers exercised their right to choose by having the babies. The mothers are raising them and he is required to pay child support as would anyone else.
Shared custody is an option, but he may not be able to make enough time in the month to give these 30 children any kind of quality time.
I do wonder if he was honest with these women about his numerous other children.
